Good grief, I'm getting that out of a D4! Used to get well over 500 in my D3 manual, think you all need remaps and manuals with TSL added! Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Averaged 25.2mpg for the last tank so got 453 miles with 25 range left.
I was on for 500 for the tank, but i had a tailgaiter the other night and instead of being mature and letting them past when the traffic in front cleared, i employed the right foot of ignorance.
So that kind of ruined it, ah well. In loving memory of FA54WSK.
Rest well old friend, your work is done.

Got 535 miles out of the last tank but the fuel light had been on for about 30 miles and it was pretty empty! All motorway miles cruising about 70 and tyre pressures all checked before I left - I've found this to make a huge difference in the past.
If I do a lot of short local runs then it drops down to about 400 on a tankful.MY11 Disco 4 SDV6 HSE

My best yet 122 miles north of Manchester on the way to the last round of the Scottish Cross Country Championship at Forest Estate near castle Douglas. Filled up in Manchester and had averaged 39.7mpg and 58 mph to that point! Cruise varied between 50 and 70mph dependant on traffic.

The most I have managed is about 500 miles between fills, showing about 70 miles range left. Typically I fill the car after 450 miles with 75 miles to go showing on the dash. My real-world figures shown below.

Mines similar to that - if you take 4mpg off the figures - and add about 8000miles Mark.

Have now finally broken the 500 to a tank barrier, sitting at 515 with 45 range left. Will need to fill up tonight as i wont get a chance tomorrow.
Interestingly, my last few fill ups have been slowly dropping down, with a low of 22.83.
Changed the air filter and it's gained 3 mpg alone, rest of the filters are getting done next week so will be interesting to see if there is more to gain from it.In loving memory of FA54WSK.
