Hi Everyone
Can anyone help, new 535d sport delivered Dec 04, current mileage 2995, brilliant ride in every respect other tha fuel consumption, cannot get it over 26mpg driving carefully, the book indicates I should be getting 35mpg from mixed driving.
I am advised by the dealer that it should improve as the engine loosens up, the salesman has asked that I take the car in for an inspection if the situation has not improved by 5000 miles.
Your comments would be appreciated.

Did you actually measure the consumption? Or is it possible the dealer has just set the computer wrong in the opposite direction just to make you feel happier? :-)
