Just been to Europe and spoken to a few owners of the 40d and 30d over there. Fuel Consumption has been a little disappointing for them given the hype. One owner told me on the first 8000km their 30d (new LCI model) was giving them around 12l/100km in a mix of city and inter city travel.

You won't get the economy that they state, because it's for a bare X5 with 18" wheels, no options and air-con off. The more options you have on & running the worse the economy. I have had 3 x X5 E70 in the last 3 years and every one has gotten worse economy than the last one as the more options I placed on each newer model.
The best economny I got was from my E53 3.0d sport, its been down hill from there.
