Summer 2025 Ownership Cost Overwiev
Owning a BMW 420d Gran Coupe means comfort, performance, and efficiency. But how much does it really cost to run this car in daily use? In this article, I share real data from the summer period (June 13, 2025 – August 20, 2025) and break down fuel costs, service expenses, and the cost per kilometer.
If you are thinking about buying this car or just want to know what ownership looks like, this overview gives a clear picture.
All graphs in this post come from the MyCar app, which I use to track my car expenses.
Summer Time Fuel Consumption
From mid-June to late August, I drove 5,887 km in total.
- Average fuel efficiency: 4.90 l/100 km
- Fuel price per liter: 1.52 EUR
- Fuel cost in total: 491.04 EUR
The numbers show that the BMW 420d Gran Coupe with the B47 engine remains very efficient. Highway trips kept the consumption low, while city drives balanced the overall average.
Service and Maintenance Details
During this period, I did one regular service:
- Oil and filter change – 100 EUR
👉 BMW Oil Change After 8500 km
Routine maintenance like this keeps the engine in good condition and ensures long-term reliability.
Cost Breakdown
- Total costs: 591.04 EUR
- Average monthly cost: 197.01 EUR
- Fuel costs per month: 163.68 EUR
- Average monthly cost: 197.01 EUR
- Cost per day: 8.69 – 37.43 EUR
- Cost per kilometer: 0.10 – 0.31 EUR/km
The lowest daily and per-kilometer costs came from long-distance trips. The highest came from short local driving days with refueling.

- Highest (19.06.2025): 37.43 EUR
- Lowest (20.08.2025): 8.69 EUR
