My Ride: Arrived 3 June 2005: 2005 545i - Orient Blue, Black interior, Sport, Steptronic, Cold Weather, NAV, Sirius, Logic7, Comfort Seats, Sunshades. What a glorious ride!

I got about 475 on one tank in my 545i. Got a little concerned about running on "fumes and the memory of gasoline," as an old friend once said.

My overall average is worse than that... about 16.5 (hand caluclated) that 18mpg is hand calculated for the best tank ever. I dont drive that hard... its more traffic problem.

Of ourse they do.

With chip tuning you allways get better results, and with Diesels too. Having a chipped Diesel, you get the absolute best result...

Well, if you are driving it correctly...

Yep, totally agree that last.

On track consumption is close 20 l/100 km. Big car accelerating whole time eat lot of fuel. Power does not come from only air. I think specific consumption with diesels is something close 100g / hp.

Average - 450 to 500 Miles between fuel stops. Mixed city and motorway driving, some aggressive too .

I notice my mpg drops after my wife has driven it!!
