if you guys care to share on this... what kind of mileage does everyone get on their 525i 2.5Liters engines, in terms of amount of kilometer per tank? and does it have anything to do with the car not being run in yet? will i get more mileage out of my car per tank after i run-in my engine? My language is kinda scrappy here... Hope you guys get what i mean.. cheers everyone...

My Ride: May 2004 525 Amethyst grey, Heated front seats, bluetooth prep, Adaptive Xenons, 6 CD changer, Front & Rear PDC, retro-fit 6 DVD changer in boot (trunk) with remote control plus headrest screens and IR headphones, Playstation connection to cabin, twin 12v outlets in rear cabin
On board computer reports 37.1 miles per (UK) gallon. I regularly get between 500 and 550 miles from a full tank. Pretty good for a petrol engine in a biggish car.

Seems OK to me all thing considered

My Ride: 2005 525i Titanium Silver Metalic and 2003 325xi Jet Black with the Premium Package in both cars.
While driveing on the worlds longest parking lot , The Long Island Expressway to Riverhead Long Island, my 525 average about 31.6 miles per gallon. Considering I was driving between 60 and 80 MPH I thought that was pretty good mileage. I have about 13, 600 miles on the car. I am extremely happy with that kind of milegage considering the price of gas today.
