Miles driven: about 2700 (no precise count, trip counter was reset a couple of times) in 7 days.
Average highway driving speed: 85 mph
Average fuel consumption (according to car's computer): 24 mpg
Times being stopped by police: 0
We also had to add 1qt of oil and 1 bottle of DEF fluid at a random dealership in FL due to warning messages displayed on iDrive but I consider it normal since the car already had about 8500 miles on it before the trip and will require an oil change (according to iDrive) in about 500 miles from now.
All in all we had 0 issues aside from topping off various fluids and I was pretty satisfied with the way the car performed during various speed ranges and weather conditions (we experienced a very heavy rain when passing through Georgia).

Your MPG is similar to what I experienced at those speeds on a 3700 mile trip. Did you by chance have a Valentine 1 assisting you (I did)?

I traded in my 35d for a 2011 35i Thursday. I'm curious to see how the gas mileage compares.
