Not ownership experience but I had an extended test drive when I had it on a shortlist along with an X3 m40d and m40i.
Wasn't impressed with the power or the economy and the notch up in the boot floor would have properly gotten on my nerves! I think my test route (which is my commute - 50 miles) got 29mpg, the m40d got 46mpg. In fact the only thing I preferred over the X3 was the newer idrive, and the price, being £7k cheaper despite being newer.
So if you're buying it for economy but have a long commute just be warned that you might not get as good mpg as you'd hope.
