Model Year: 2004
'04 525, I get about 24 in the city/hwy mix, and 29-30 on the highway, all pretty conservative driving. If I'm very careful I can get 33 on the highway.

I have an 07 525i and am averaging 26mpg overall. I have all stop-and-go traffic to work. Highway mileage is 35mpg at 75mph. I will gladly give up some fuel economy to have a car that is a pleasure to drive and not a death trap in an accident than have a bottom line vehicle, like a Prius, just to save a few dollars at the pump.
05 525i 50/50 driving I'm getting 24.7 mpg
Cheers
