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 ??

Yes to a degree. Definitely the EGR. However, I would not remap anymore, because if you have an engine problem no matter however trivial, and BMW suspect you have had it done, they will not assist with any claim. I used to remap diesels all time, the last one being an E91 325d back in 2007.
