I do a mix of sport and eco-pro driving. I'm averaging 20-22mpg.

Mileage is horrible. I got much better mileage with my e90 335. Also FYI when it indicates "0" miles left do yourself a favor and fill it up ASAP. I drove about 5 miles after it indicated "0" and ran out of gas, no fun! The gas gauge is not very accurate.

You actually let it get all the way down to 0 and kept driving it?

Oh wait..that's right..you're from Florida

Gage at 0, and you ran out, sounds pretty damn accurate to me.

I'm getting 20-22 as well and have really been babying it during the break in period, so almost all comfort and eco

The needle wasn't even at empty, although it was close. On my e90 I could drive almost 30 miles after it indicated 0 miles left. I guess I'm used to the larger tank on the e90. Won't run out again, usually only happens once!

no one should ever drive to "0" even if you were to have an extra gallon left.

jrstech, you need to read closely what you wrote... you kept driving when your useful range is zero, yet you were surprised that you ran out of gas!!?? Hmmm... sounds pretty brilliant.

No way you are getting 30mpg in a 300+hp 6cyl unless you're grandma on the highway.

N54 E82 135i will do near 30 on the highway if you are cruising, I don't see why this shouldn't improve slightly with N55.

So guess it would be safe to say that 20-22mpg is the average which isn't too bad at all.

i drive almost exclusively in sport (wish i could figure out how to default to this mode & not have to select it every time, but i digress) and local city driving sans highways. i'm a bit of a lead-foot and have averaged 17.5 mpg over the first 800 miles.

ymmv (literally).

This is probably the funniest thing I have read in a long time.

I always thought I was risking it on my 335i when I had under 10 miles cruising range and would stretch it out a bit and always refill over 0. I never thought to see what the range really was.

You're right about the gauge not being very accurate. It should have stalled out right when you hit 0.

I ran out of gas once before, but it was in a 20 year old Jeep that had a broken gas gauge that was stuck on full.

No way it's only averaging 20-22 mpg. I got about 21-22 on my E90 335i.

20-22 is what I am getting but it is hard not to drive in sport mode especially with the performance exhaust. Love to hear the sound. My lowest has been 17. I have only had the car three days

Only problem is that the gauge wasn't at empty. I guess the gauge isn't very well calibrated with the miles to empty indicated.
