My Ride: 525d M Sport in Carbon Black
I can confirm that my 525d M Sport is loosening up nicely, I'm approaching the 7k miles mark and see noticable increase in the mpg, on a mixed cycle I'm averaging 44mpg for a full tank.
I'll happily report back in a week or so with more accurate figures if needed, fyi a tank is giving me around 600miles + and dependant on how long my motorway runs are this can nudge 700miles.

My Ride: [s]07 E60 535d LCI.Silver.172.Hifi.Ipod.Rear Tints.M Spoiler.[/s]
07 B7 RS4 Avant Misano Red
54 E87 120d Sport Sparkling Graphite
Mine averaged about 37mpg for the first 6k miles. Now at 7.5k its a whisker under 41mpg, some of that difference could be attributable to the remap tho'.

Would generally have to echo comments made by e60scotland, but as mine is a manual I'm getting a couple more to the gallon. Recently went down to the Le Mans 24 hr race - something like 1300-1400 miles retrurn and my 525d M Sport returned an average of 49.5 mpg at a steady relaxed 70 mph cruise all the way there & back.
Can't say I have noticed a marked improvement in terms of economy from brand new, mine has been excellent from day 1 (end of April 07) and continues to be excellent on fuel. It hasn't used a drop of oil either which again is a great sign of a 'gooden'!
