It's all about the conditions we drive in. My test drive in an E92 335i was showing over 29mpg when I arrived back at the garage. I wasn't driving to prove how fast it goes, but keeping to the road speeds around me and a bit of enthusiastic overtaking, a stretch on the motorway, the A9 at just under 60mph in a traffic flow, and there we have it.
I averaged over 26mpg out of an E39 540i (4.4l V8) touring over 4-years of motoring in it. And I had some fun with it as well, so in easy conditions and driven moderately, good mpg figures are possible.
BTW, in my experience better mpg without using cruise, if you use the road properly and to mpg advantage.
