Hi, recently I have noticed that my BMW is using a lot of diesel. The engine temperature is 70-75 which to my knowledge should be around 90-95. So this could be my thermostat? When driving very carefully on the highway I can get it to 7l/100km but when driving in the city it takes always over...

Hello everyone, Bought my first BMW a week ago, it's a '95 325i with 103K miles on the odometer. The instant fuel consumption reading shown on the computer never goes below 10 L/100Km and most of the time it's around 11.7 even when driving on the motorway. Filled the tank to the brim the other...
