Will let you know how I get on when the car goes in for first service.

Any update? Did BMW do anything for you?

Wouldnt mind if it was a 3L but its the 177 2.5 and not as frugal as it should be!

It's just the way that engine is, I have the same in my early 2005 525d sport and it gives similar figures. When I'm doing mainly city driving it's lucky to hit 26mpg. Still, it's saving me a fair bit on fuel compared to the E39 525i auto it replaced.
