Interesting results.
I have been thinking about changing my pre-LCI 535d Touring for something more economical given the constant rise in UK diesel prices. I had pencilled a 123d as something that could deliver the economy without losing too much performance. However in the 1 Series forums, owners seem to struggle to make it into the 40's when the combined figure is 54 for a manual. Now my 535d with 57k on the clock returns 32-34 regardless what I do with it - very close to the official figure. Is Efficient Dynamics really delivering any real world gains? I would love to hear from an LCI 535d owner.

Had my first 50mpg journey at the weekend. I did a 60 mile trip mostly on single carriageway roads where overtaking was difficult, so the speed was between 50 and 60 mph (80 to 100 kph), although it also included a small amount of motorway and town driving. At the end of the trip the OBC was reading 50.4 mpg (5.6l/100km or 42 US MPG). I've still only done 1500 miles in my car, but I'm beginning to be impressed with the economy.
My wife was in the car and she has a Golf GTD and she has never got better than 50 mpg.
