I bet they've also adjusted the MPG correction factor in the iDrive. You can adjust it up to 25%.

Adjusting the MPG Calculation

genius.

I was thinking of correcting my own so my wife thinks it's better than it is. Some fun to be had messing with the next owners head at the end of the lease

Reverse logic, make it worse to justify buying a new car.

True though - stick some shiny bits to a povvo (sp?) spec motor and give it a special name and the punters will think they're getting something special. Manufacturers and even dealers have been doing this forever.

I suspect 'davethepirate' might be better called 'davetheShill'.

I await the update on how their mpg had improved by up to 20% when the cooler weather is coming that knocks it back anyway.

i fail to see how egr delete or bypass would improve fuel efficiency, it is more likely to do quite the opposite
egr is to reduce emissions and improve fuel efficiency
people normally do a egr delete on a diesel to prevent carbon build up, long term that would likely lead to better mpg if no attempt to decoke the intake was ever attempted.
