Hi
I'm afraid you'll have to disregard all figures till you have done approx 4000 to 5000 miles!
Please don't worry about the economy . I drive my 530 as hard as I can ( without upsetting other road users!) I get 34mpg around Berkshire and easily 38 mpg on a run ( often wth amazing average speeds). OBC seems pretty accurate when compared to brim to brim fillings and GPS speed/distance checks.
Enjoy the car!

Not sure how long it takes to run it in. Last car was 328ci and that took 1,000 miles I think.
On 525d I remember on first tank it returned 35 or less and I was pretty disappointed - was expecting 40. Since that first tank or so, I get 36 to 37 and on a long (100mile+) journey normally get 40mpg.
If drive around town all the time I still get worst case 34.
Had the car since mid-may and done over 6k now, mostly motorway.
Used the little oil packet you get with the car last week (after 5k) and put about half of it in. I expect that will be it until first service now.
