has anyone else experienced this?

BMW can adjust it, but it isn't worth it IMO. A common cause of reading incorrectly, especially on a diesel, is if a performance chip or flash has been installed. Since it offsets the sensors to achieve a power gain, the fuel consumption reading can become inaccurate.
