2014 BMW 3 Series Fuel Economy

EPA ratings by trim

City and highway are EPA's adjusted label figures; combined is the 55/45 blend printed on the window sticker. For electric and plug-in trims the MPG columns are MPGe, and the kWh per 100 miles is the figure a charging cost actually turns on; EPA measures it at the wall, so charging losses are already in it. Unrounded combined figures, where EPA publishes them: 320i 27.5188; 320i 27.116; 320i xDrive 26.8218; 328d 35.685; 328d xDrive 34.497; 328d xDrive Sports Wagon 34.497; 328i 26.8887; 328i 26.0837; 328i xDrive 25.9232; 328i xDrive Gran Turismo 25.9232; 328i xDrive Sports Wagon 25.6621; 335i 25.2213; 335i 23.3316; 335i xDrive 23.5315; 335i xDrive 22.7204; 335i xDrive Gran Turismo 23.5315; ActiveHybrid 3 27.9699.

What the rating costs per mile

The rating divided by a price, times your miles. It starts at EIA's current U.S. averages and EPA's 15,000 miles so the right-hand column is comparable; type your own pump price, home rate and mileage over them.

Fuel only — before depreciation, insurance, maintenance or tires, which the True Cost per Mile Calculator adds. Most drivers land below the rating; the True MPG Calculator measures your own from two fill-ups.

EPA's own figures, and why they differ

The “EPA's figure” column is EPA's annual fuel cost from the same file: 15,000 miles, 55% city, and the national fuel price fueleconomy.gov was using on the day the file was built (2026-09-29). fueleconomy.gov recomputes its page every week at the current price, so its number and the file's drift apart between file dates; the middle columns here use a price you can see and change, which is the only honest way to compare two cars. EPA also prints a five-year “you save/spend” against the average new vehicle (spends $1,250 for the 328d); it rests on the same assumptions and is not repeated here as a result.

Every figure on this page is a rating, not a measurement of any particular car. The site never calls a rating wrong; it shows what your own price and miles do to it. See the model on fueleconomy.gov.
