My Ride: 02/2006 525i Titanium Silver Metallic
Manual 6-Speed
06 525i - K&N air filter, and Charcoal filter removed.
My car is a stick, so it is kind of hard not to drive it like you stole it... All the time...
I love accelerating hard up to highway speeds. 
But other than that, I try to shift @ 3K RPM.
I've been getting an avg mpg of 22.8 city/highway mix... Sure it could be better, but I love driving it like I don't care.

My Ride: 2008 535i | Black Sapphire | Black Nasca Leather | Sport Package | Heads Up Display | Navigation | Lane Departure Warning | Electric Rear Sunshade | Logic 7 Sound System | USB audio | Heated Rear Seats | Ventilated Seats |
Picked up: February 25, 2008
2008 535i
Right now I get 13.5L/100km for mixed driving (more city driving) but if I drive to Toronto at say 130km/h, I get 10L/100km. So now I wonder is the car optimized to drive at 130km/h?

Just got the car, so not a lot of historical data but after the 200 mile trip home yesterday -
2008 535i 6speed
Cruising speed ranged from 70-90mph, got a bit above that a few times passing. Avg 26.1 mpg.
