BMW 645Ci Parts & Accessories

It handles like a dream. It seems to have great power and speed. But when it comes to fuel efficiency, your car seems to guzzle more gas than ever. You're paying more at the pump. There are a couple of tricks you can do to make sure that your BMW 645Ci won't be consuming more fuel. Here are some tips:

• Proper engine maintenance is key.

The engine should be checked up regularly. This will help extend the life of the powerhouse while also increasing its power output, enhancing overall performance, and maintaining good fuel economy. Through routine engine checkups and service, which may include valvetrain adjustments, ignition system and timing checkup, emission control inspection, and other engine parts maintenance, all systems will be tested. Whatever makes the BMW more fuel hungry than usual, be it a faulty emissions control feature or a busted oxygen sensor, can be fixed to ensure better fuel economy. As the engine gest to run more smoothly, it can generate power easily and operate with greater fuel efficiency.

• Keeping the tires properly inflated counts.

Tire pressure should be checked regularly to make sure that the tires are properly inflated according to the car manufacturer's recommendations. This won't only prevent tire wear and extend tire life, but this will also help ensure better traction and maintain good fuel mileage. Under-inflated tires can cause a drop in fuel economy with every psi that's lost in tire pressure. Apart from keeping the tires properly inflated, it would be best if they're balanced, aligned, and rotated as well.

• Choosing the right motor oil and fuel for the vehicle can help improve fuel efficiency.

Pick the right grade of lubricant for your vehicle. Consider the suggested weight and other specifications, which you can find in your user manual. Use motor oil that's specifically recommended for your BMW. Some types of motor oil are specially formulated to conserve energy. Look for those with an API performance symbol. Motor oil with additives that reduce friction for a much smoother motor run is a great choice. Take note what kind of fuel is recommended for your BMW. Some fuel options contain additives that help keep the system clean.

• Your driving habits can make a big difference.

If you want to increase the fuel mileage in your BMW, it would help if you'll make a bit of change with the way you drive. Instead of driving aggressively, it'll be better if you'll try to drive more smoothly. Set a good speed. By running at a good speed, you won't be forced to brake hard. As much as possible, avoid abrupt or sudden acceleration. The cruise control feature of the vehicle can help you maintain constant speed. These will help you save more at the gas pump. As much as possible, refrain from idling excessively. Just kill the engine so that the vehicle won't consume fuel while parked. Unnecessary weight on the vehicle can adversely affect fuel efficiency because of the heavier load. Unload some cargo or stuff if possible.
