The official figures aren't 'real world' as they are done on a dyno. But,as I keep pointing out, don't blame BMW. This is a government mandated test that all vehicles manutacturers/distributors must perform and then quote the results.

Either way, 17.1L/100km is super high. You must have a heavy right foot. That's the sort of figure you would expect from a petrol V8.
