The dash computer lists my average at about 23 mpg. It varies a little. If I mostly city drive for a few months it gets down closer to 20 but then I go on a roadtrip and the mileage shoots right up.

Cruise control all the way (city and highway) !

And in a 2014 Pickup truck I got around 18mpg (combined with a little more in the city)

Jeeze. He must sit at stop lights all day and floor it everywhere he goes. Even my X5 got 13-14mpg.

I average around 21-22 in mostly city driving. Still get 30-35 on long highway trips. Did 100 miles on about 3 gallons this weekend. the 330i's gearing and the 6mt help that a bit though.

anywhere from 16 to 27 depending on how i feel like driving that day. I noticed the cruise control isn't always the best for mpg on road trips as when i go uphill the car downshifts to 4th and sits at about 3.5k rpm when i can easily get up myself in 5th or 6th.

i am also running a rich tune so im probably losing more fuel than normal

Unfortunately most of my driving is city in gears 1 - 4. If I get in 5th and 6th my mileage shoots upward.

38 USmpg urban, 50 USmpg highway doing 70mph. The best I've achieved in winter with no AC on is 57mpg.

The manual transmission and diesel is a good combination

You must be trolling us.

I get 16 MPG in my current ride with 4 mile commute in my n54, fat tires and a heavy foot.

With an N52 that's running correctly you should get much better than what you say.

When I had a long commute and my old Z4 with an N52, I averaged 30-31 MPG. Bad days were 25s.
