If it's actually losing it, you should see evidence on the floor. Let it tick over for 10 minutes and have a good look.

Probably a BMW sensor/ECU over fueling.

I was trying to be slightly amusing, rather than helpful..... I didn't have anything useful to say!

after doing some tests, i'm getting somewhere in between 30 and 35 miles to a gallon now, not sure what it was before but it was nowhere near that, I did have to pump the front tyres up as they were soft (20psi instead of 30), so I think the problem was due to very soft front tyres

That will make a big difference! Sounds about right mpg to me depending on what type of driving you are doing.....
