I still dont think that the car should return less MPGs than the quoted Urban figure. The car rarely exceeds 2000 rpm when I drive it and yesterday I even used cruise control to eliminate my driving style / foot as the main culprit. The car still returned 36 MPG. I've also confirmed the consumption manually. Very disappointing, I must say.
I would get the cars fuelling checked at the dealership, I drove the 3.0 Diesel f10 M Sport and thrashed it as much as I could and it only had 300 miles on as a DEMO, it returned 36MPG.
