I now have from new, 2017 2.0d LCI M Sport Auto, and the MPG is always around 37mpg.
My conclusion is to do with the “dieselgate” scandal, and thefor the 2.0d was retuned for lower emissions and therefor, lower MPG.
I will be looking for a remap, that will do away with, or at least, use the EGR less, hence increasing the MPG, not after much more power, as I intend to drive the same.
Any body else agree with this theory ??

My EGR valve was replaced last month when the engine started experiencing odd episodes of stalling, judder after start up with a foot on the brake and loss of power.
MPG hasn't really improved since. Should I ask BMW for an engine remap?

Driving style has a lot to do with achieving good mpg - such as coasting to those red traffic lights that are 100 yards in front rather than accelerating and then hitting the brake pedal, quite often they will have changed to green before you reach them anyway.
I have noted a slight dip in mpg over the last month or so with the overly hot weather we have been having in blighty!

That's impressive. Right now 50mpg+ is pure fantasy for me, let alone 40mpg.
