The adblue fluid is not costly at all and easy to use. It lasts longer than the required oil change interval so far for me, which is 10-12,000 miles.
The city fuel economy might get under 30 mpg if you are used to gunning it. I get 32 maybe if just in stop and go traffic. Just a guess since I'm around 36.1 overall now.
I feel silly in this car - how far off other "enthusiasts" are with their gas guzzlers. the 535d (530d ROW) has more power than any non-teen driver can rationally use and performs magnificently all the while giving fantastic fuel economy and driving range. But on autobahn, perhaps more power would be in order....
