This is what I see over a full tank for daily commute of 50mi. In my e90 N54, I got 24mpg for 15% city, 85% hwy. This one I get 30mpg for same driving style. Did an experiment to accelerate a little slower and saw 31, but not worth it. The f30 335i would probably see 27mpg for same conditions. Also, useless info from hand-waving people posting their ephemeral instantaneous mileages.
