I have the same engine in a X1 and I get about 450KM on a tank...which licks. The ONLY time I had had good fuel economy from this thing is when driving on the highway on cruise control at 110km/h or 70mph in regular transmission mode (not DS) which is really not any fun. Not sure why it sucks so much.
Diesel is where it is at, IMHO, for fuel economy and good pick up. BMW needs to get the diesel versions of many of their vehicles to N. America ASAP.
