My average so far have been 13-14 mpg. But it only have 600 miles on it, so not very accurate reflection of what it should be.

I'm never above 14 mpg, and I've done countless resets whenever I fill her up on a full tank. I have almost 17000 miles on it so far.

Has anyone observed a noticable difference in mileage driving with and without M Mode engaged?

Just finished road trip; clocked about 850 miles; 18.6 mpg. This includes about 2-hours worth of LA bumper to bumper traffic with truck loaded with luggage.

Gas mileage is irrelevant when you decide to buy an SUV, especially X5M with twin-turbo 4.4L engine. Just enjoy the exhaust notes and the raw power of that monster.

I look at it this way in my opinion, if you have the money for that kind of a car, then you surely have the money for the gas as well

Makes me appreciate the 37mpg (366 miles on 9.5 gallons. And thats mostly highway cruising at 85mph+) I just got on my second tank in my X5d.

The fedex exhuast note does annoy me though, and make me envy you E70M guys.

Do you know how much his fuel consumption increased with the chip? Who makes the chip for the 35d? I just ordered mine.
