520d MT on 18" @630 Miles. Avg 45 mostly suburban driving but have done 3 Gatwick to Heathrow Runs and it was running at 53/55/58mpg for each of them according to the Journey Computer so I am happy that it lives up to its claims. Frankly it is astonishing for such a large car.

Over 95,000 miles on my previous 525d MT I was getting just under 36 compared to the 45 I have now. That is a 25% improvement like for like. In fact the 520d is slightly up on power compared to the 525d (185 vs 177 hp) which makes it all the more impressive.
