I'd say your driving style is similar to mine...get there first, get there fast, get the hell out of my way.

Sounds pretty low for a 530i. I have a 545i and I drive short distances over stop and go traffic, but I'm averaging 17-18 mpg (calculated, not the on-board computer, which is about 4-5% high).
