Our 2007 X3 3.0si 260 hp 6MT has done 8 litre/100 km cruising on the highway at 120 km/hr, fully loaded, over multiple tanks. That works out to 36 mpg imperial, 30 mpg US. Around town, the worst we have see is 12 litres/100 km (24 mpg Imperial), and most of the time we are averaging 10 litres/100 km with mixed driving. AzNMpower32 has reported 30 mpg US with his 2.5 automatic X3 (well, actually, he reported 8 litres per 100 km).

Agree that to get 30 mpg US you have to work at it a bit, but it can be done, even with the highest power X3.
