Well with my heavy foot and V8.? The best range my car has reported is 465 miles and the furthest I have gone on a tank is 410 miles.

I've had my 545iM over 500 miles, again after highway driving and a nice fill-up.

I imagine that if I engaged the cruise control at 65mph in 6th gear, I would go 500 miles. Alas I just do not have the discipline. When wide open asphalt calls, I succumb.
