I've never driven it on a trip without towing, but it might surpass 700 miles unladen. Not that I'd rather be in it over the X5, but not having to fill up often makes long trips nice!
yeah, my truck's got a big tank (40gal) and it'll go > 650 mi if i stay below 90mph....quite nice...on the other hand, the predicessor to the X5d was an 06 Sequoia that could only go 280 miles on a tank..that was rediculous...in the end, 500+ miles in the comfort of the X5 makes me want to take a long trip!
