I'm sure the car would see 30 mpg+ on at 65-70mph, flat ground, and little wind. My car is a 6MT as well and an 8AT would certainly do better mpgs because of the gearing advantage.

I just finished up a 300mi road trip in my M235xi and got 29.5 mpg in total, but there were quite a few mountain passes and climbs that knocked that down, as well as an average speed of 71mph (so, lots of time at 80+).
On flat ground at ~65mph I saw a consistent 32-33mpg!
It's great to see this thread - I just picked up my 2015 M235 with ~42k mi, I chose the 235 in part because the N55 seemed to be pretty reliable (for a BMW), so far it's been great!
