Hi, I've got a 1993 316i touring, its had a new air filter, new fuel filter, oil and filter change, new plugs, the brakes aren't binding, tyres are correctly inflated, I've tested the blue temp sensor and it checks out ok, can't see or smell any fuel leaks, I drive like an old fart, do 50 miles to work and back each day - so not like I'm doing lots of stop start driving, but, still only manage 28 mpg!!

Anyone got any sugestions???
