Replying to: carnaught (Jul 06, 2008 9:38 am) Confirms '04 530 owners claim of 33 mpg highway 70 mph on a 500 mile round trip. Sure beats the EPA estimate of 28 highway. Thanks. Replies to this message: rnewton60 (Jul 09, 2008 1:23 pm)

Wow, I'm lucky to get 16.5 MPG with my '05 545i. Then again I do have a heavy right foot. On a recent trip from LA to San Diego, The best I did was 16.6 90+MPH.
#6 of 21 Real world mileage by carnaught Sep 07, 2008 (8:49 am)
With my 2008 535i I got an average of 29.5 mpg on hilly car trip (70+mph), two adults with loaded trunk.
#8 of 21 How on Earth! by cablue Sep 14, 2008 (10:30 pm)
Wow! How do you get such great mileage? My '08 535 gets an average of 20.8 around town (that's mostly in a rural area with low hills, not a lot of stop and go.) My '06 550 got about 18.8 with my type of driving. I do have a lead foot! I take quick starts and stops. But I would think for me to get such great mileage, I'd have to be driving like my brother (a VERY slow driver!).

I picked up the 335xi on Feb. 08 and 535xi on June 08; somehow the touch shift Steptronic in the 5er works like the magic by comparing the same name transmission in the 3er, by the same style of the driving around the town, the 5er gets 19.4 mpg vs the 18.6 mpg from 3er, the curb weight of 5er is 3946lb to 3825 for 3er, both cars get 25-27 mpg on high way, the 5er rides much better, it is worth the more payment for the 5er.
#10 of 21 2007 525i by sss2 Dec 15, 2008 (11:54 am)
I average 27 MPG on my 2007 525i. I drive somewhat aggressively and spend a lot of time in traffic. Most driving is city/stop & go. When I get a good highway trip, I'll get 31-32.
