Took my 335xi on its first long road trip last weekend. 600 miles down and back between Chi and TN. I actually bought the car specifically for these trips. Pleasantly surprised that my average mpg came in at 25.6 door-to-door according to iDrive. Not sure why the mpg on my non-iDrive driver's-side readout read lower. Maybe it calls for a forum search if I start to care. Speed was in the 70-80mph range for the most part.
Fun part was on the way back, late in the evening (maybe 10:30pm?), and my foot was getting a little heavy. I came up on a e90 335i coupe. I passed him, and after a few miles noticed him keeping up with me (distinctive headlights, you know). Another few miles, he takes over the lead, and I figure out this is a friendly game of tag. Went on back and forth like that for a good 30 minutes or so. This car is fun! (or I was imagining things and he was wondering why a crazy person is chasing him)
