depends on elevation, wind, road conditions etc. I usually get 24-25mpg at 85mph flat road between Midland and Dallas, going to 95mph I get closer to 20mpg I can test when I get home if you'd like

if you're spending that much on a car why is fuel economy important? I won't be home until late tomorrow night so maybe Friday I can check of you remind me

I think at the most you will save $1,000 USD if you go to a lower model and drive 15,000 miles a year.

Don’t normally use Ecco mode but this was on a long trip with speeds averaging above 80mph.
About 23mpg. I think it’s very good for the performance and Horsepower. It is V8 TwinTurbo so fuel economy was the last spec I ever checked after ownership. Honestly, miles per tank means more to me when traveling long distances.

I've driven 17.191 miles this year and I've spend $2926.75 (I track it for fun but in this case it's useful) do the math or I can. that's $0.1702 per mile averaging 16.17mpg based on rh 1063.14 gallons of fuel I've enjoyed

numbers aside enjoy the drive if you can afford such vehicles fuel cost shouldn't matter that much.

Thank you again,but you also need to be aware that prices of gasoline are different in Eu then Us...for example we pay almost 2 dollars for 1 liter (1lit = 0,264 gallon).
Also we have crazy special tax over netto price and VAT...so in the end cars in Eu have double price comparing Us...but all that is already calculated and accepted,i just wanted to know real consumption...in the end i already own and drive 2019 M5 comp..so i wanted a real life comparo from X5M50i owners.

What’s the point here. Sports car is not meant to save gas. A better choice would be i8, i3, or other electric car.

In the US it doesn't matter. In Europe, it ABSOLUTELY matters.

Europeans pay 2x - 3x as much for gas depending on the country they are in.

Then there are the road taxes associated with owning vehicles.

I'm lucky.... I'm an American living in Europe, but I buy gas at American prices, and I'm exempt from all the associated taxes.

I did the math once several months ago:

Over a 5-year period, the average European will spend as much on a $25,000 car (once you factor in fuel, taxes, registration, etc), as an American will spend on a $65,000 car.

Then, there is the fact that the cars themselves, are more expensive. I work with members from at least 14 different nations, and when I told them I was buying an M50i, a few freaked out. In the Netherlands for example, my specific car would cost over DOUBLE what I paid for it..... and that's before fuel, road taxes, etc.

This is a silly question coming from an American. From a European, this question is quite valid.

yeah at those rates it would be $7.56 per gallon meaning the amount I would've spent on fuel based on my mileage and everything would be $8037.34 vs the $2926.75 I actually spent. that's not terrible but I certainly wouldn't want to pay that if I didn't have to. I work in the energy sector (oil and gas) and we have the highest fuel prices in the state where I live despite refining it locally which is equally dumb.

for anyone who is curious here are my mileage stats in full. I track this merely for fun because I like data analytics

So about $5k difference, but the math would actually be the difference in this car and another, presumably, X5. Reported mileage differences are on the order of 3-5 mpg difference, or about 20-25-ish percent, max. So conservatively, around $1,000 difference in annual fuel costs between similar cars, actually per a previous estimate. Considering we're talking about a $100+k car in Europe, maybe not that much of a factor in deciding, although a $1,000 annual savings for whatever likely marginal performance trade-off would be, depends on what you think is valuable and what you might be giving up. The difference between an EV and ICE is a different conversation.

This is the only reason I’m not considering the V8. Our SUV is our road trip car and I’m too spoilt by our current SUVs range with a 26 gallon tank and average close to 30 mpg on the highway.

So nice to leave after work and drive to Whistler for the weekend and then back without having to fill up once or worry about stretching it if getting stuck in traffic.

best I've gotten on a tank is 398 miles and I still had 1.5 gallons left in the tank. average MPG for that tank was ~19mpg so you can go further. I can get 22-26mpg highway at 80-85mph sometimes so that's 482-570miles of range peak

Twenty-five-ish mpg is not unreasonable cruising at highway speed for these engines under ideal conditions. That said, for maximum range and efficiency in any configuration, a V8 would probably not be my first choice. There are other considerations in choices of course, and if I wanted the longest distance out of a tank I'd still be driving a diesel (a non-starter in the US for BMW right now). I remember seeing a 700 mile range after a fill up on my previous X5d.

I got about 13 to 14 so far.

The F15 50i was slightly better, like 16

Those numbers in opposite mirrors my F80 M3 vs my E90 M3 exactly.

Just read the first post again, with all due respect, should the traffic ticket and fines be included in EU too? Well, maybe not Germany.

Just to clarify..speed limit in most countries in EU is 130 km/h(82 mph....BUT in my country we have 20 percent tolerance on final speed(10 percent to measurement devices and 10 buy the traffic law...so we can drive easily 155..so 95 mph is normal cruising speed on highway.😊
