520i doing constant highway speeds should manage 600km (375miles) on full tank, I would think - that's only around 26mpg (assuming tank is 14 gallons or so). In fact that seems low to me.
My 530d consistently does 600 miles (960km) on a tank, although I have, just once, seen 799 miles on the range. Couldn't nurse it over the 800, dammit. But never, ever, get as much as just-after-fillup display suggests. I usually get 700 miles or so displayed just after fill. Worst I've done on a tank is 540, best is 620. Pretty consistent. I believe the range indicator uses a moving average of consumption for about the last 20 miles.
