My pre-LCI E91 330i M sport is averaging around 26/27, but then everywhere from my house is up or down a hill so that causes issues. I suspect if i lived on the flat again (like i used to) i'd be averaging more like 28/29.
As already said, if you're doing short journeys and/or town driving you're not going to get great figures, and diesels are actually thirstier than petrols until they warm up so that won't help either.
23 in your petrol six or 20% more in a diesel four banger? Is it even a choice?
Make sure you take it past 6500rpm next time you leave town
