i will be intrested to know what other owners of the same vehicle get.
spoke to bmw they said that this is the norm. why state higher figures on their website?

Unfortunately, their tests are carried out under optimal driving conditions (probably a rolling road) and are a maximum. I've got a 118d SE and found it does about the same as yours and I'm know to have a bit of a lead foot! but considering my Yaris used to do about the same, I'm more than happy. I love it when I drive on the motorway and it tells me I have more miles left to my fuel when I arrive than when I left.
