It really depends on how heavy footed you are when driving. My wife doesn't seem to care about accelerating like a bat out of hell so she gets above 17mpg in the city. I like to stomp on the accelerator so obviously I'm closer to 13-14mpg.

The low mileage I'm seeing isn't with aggressive driving. Though I've noticed that there's not too much change from driving a slightly aggressively. It's only when I'm flooring it all the time where the mileage drops more. The low mileage is really attributed to waiting at lights.

Here are my numbers so far compared to the X5 35d which I had for 11,000 miles. My 35i is still a little new to have completely broken in (3,000 miles).

City Driving Mix (50/50) - 22.9 35d 19.5 35i
Freeway 70 - 85 MPH - 24.5 35d 22.5 35i

The 35d was around 2 MPG worse during the winter on the winter diesel blends.

These numbers are averages for now, I'll have better 35i data in 6 months.
