My A4 1.8T had a 60l (16 gal) tank, on top of which there is 6l (1.5 gal) of reserve. So I'm fairly happy with the range on the 135i, since it has roughly the same range as my last (heavier, much slower) car.
As a side note, yesterday I drove until the on-board computer read "Range ---- km". Very soon after I dropped by the pumps and the car took 53.5l or 14.1 gal. So either the quoted capacity in the owners manual doesn't include the reserve, or I very nearly ran out of gas. And yes, I know it's horrible to run a car out of gas, that it's easy to keep the tank topped off, etc.

Many gas pumps are not calibrated correctly. You should report that station.
