I have a 525i Sport and ive found that when i put my foot down i can only do about 20/25 miles before a good 1/4 of a tank is used....now this seems somewhat absurd.
i realise im probably not getting close to 50mpg but it seems to be drinking it when i decide to 'have some fun'.
is this 'just the way it is' or has my baby got some kind of problem...

you can only start whining when your fuel prices hit around 6 bucks for a gallon.
thats what we have right now in the uk....$6.19 ish f***ing dollars per gallon of fuel i put in...
i hate this countrys absurd tax laws.
i.e. to fill up the tank costs me a whopping 113 bucks. (ish)
