I would have bought a different year for better luck. Hmm, Double_Trouble? Just like people who are abused at an earlier age and then later to become abusers or attracted to abusers themselves . . . 
Just being frank, that's all.

What models were they?
525 to a 530 or were they both 530s? Are you driving differently because of the sports package?
How big of a drop in fuel economy??
Plus how long have you had the newer E60? recently? Could it be the winter blend in fuel causing the lower MPG?
Its hard to say if you're a sucker for punishment if we dont know all the facts...
And what exactly do you mean "punishment?" That you just bought another E60 with problems?

* both cars are 530i
* Drop on the highway from @ 28mpg to 22mpg. 50 mile trip, cruise, 65mph.
* First 530 - 14 months. Second 530, a week.
* Fuel blend - possibly.
As for punishment - it's a CPO car - so BMW can fix any bug-a-boos.
Gotta say - the E60 is an amazing car to drive - Sport Package (mileage or not) is a worthwhile upgrade.
Merry Christmas to all of you and thanks for your help

An 04 is not really first off the assembly line.
The E60 was officially released beginning of July 2003.
So, even if yours would be the first ever US E60, everything it has was on the market allready for quite some time.
