What are your thoughts on Celtic tuning for remapping. My fuel consumption is bad. Nice driving semi urban doing 150km a day 15 km /l.
Any advice will be appreciated.

What are you expecting your consumption to be?

Should it not be in the region of 17 to 18 for semi urban. Open road maybe 20km/l or am I too optimistic?

It is so depending on your specific roads and conditions that semi-urban is too variable to tell. It doesn't seem too bad at 6.6l/100km with a mix of town/city. Open road that seems possible... but let the owners chime in. I don't know that a tune is going to get you much more range (or perhaps a DPF delete/replacement/clean is in order?)

F30 320d - town +-7.5l/100km, mixed +-7l/100km, open road +-5l/100km. But I don't drive miss daisy and the car does find its way in to sport from time to time - so a more conservative driver will probably get slightly better.

15km/L isn't bad at all. Both my e46 320d's gave about 13km/l with 70/30 urban/highway driving. Some long trips returned 21km/l,but 15 km/l is more or less what I would expect from a 50/50 split on the e46 320d.
