Great vnod,
I just love facts, but...
The iDrive calculates gas consumtion / driven miles or kilometers .
It doesn't understand that the car could be jammed in traffic etc, and I also belive that it is calibrated optimistical.
Using the speedometer trip compared to gallons / litres filled at the gas station, I always get the gas consumtion much higher than what the iDrive indicates.
If wider tires gets the gas milage i.e. 20 % worse, it still doesn't explain any 20 l / 100 km for a 525i.

I wasn't trying to explain any particular result. I was just providing info related to the topic for anyone, including the poster, that might be able to use it.
