On my 2010 Phantom I average about 12. I had a Ghost that got about 15 mpg.

I hate having to stop for gas every few hours. What is the actual MPG I don't know and I don't care. I realize this is easy for me to say because I don't drive my M5 every day- it is a fun, weekend car for me. My daily driver is a X5 35d, which probably averages 22-30 MPG. Furthermore, when I fill up the X5 on a long trip, the distance to empty resets to over 600 miles to empty. This puts a huge smile on my face. So, if mileage is important, I highly recommend one of the BMW models with the diesel engine. Save the M5 for fun.
