Dear all, just got my 540i for 4 months now, and wonder is the fuel consumption is normal, I did change oil, filter, and regular maintenance. I got 22.3L/100KM from the OBC, most of the time is city driving, I didn't press hard on the pedal at all. And when I go on highway doing around 100km/h, the OBC reading is 9.9L/100KM, is it normal for the 540i.

P.S. I got the Trans failsafe Prog on all the time, but the transmittion show normal, I can use all gear (both auto & steptronic), I did check with BMW dealer, nothing wrong, they suggest I change to a new cluster. Can anyone help with this as well.
