I get about 280-300 miles on full tank or Premium (93) with my 530i - what is your range?

500 - 700 km on a tank of 98 Octane.

8 - 12 litres / 100 km depending on city / freeway driving.

It's been the same for all six-in-line BMW engines for a decade!

400 - 700 km, depending on the style and road conditions. Usually around 650. But if I only drive in city, then for sure it 400 km max.

Yeah, guilty, heavy footer here! That is ONLY city driving though, I barely drive on the highways - live 5 minutes from work. I guess 350 is possible with highway driving.
