If you drive in the city, you will get about 400kms per tank (65L). Don't forget that the engines are naturally aspirated inline-6s which aren't all that fuel efficient to begin with. As with any other BMW, you gotta pay to play. Besides, when you wind up that inline-6, there aren't many things that sound better in the world, at least when it comes to cars.

However, highway mileage is very respectable. I've taken my E46 to Seattle on various occasions and I've been able to get there and back on a half-tank.
