Thanks for the replies guys.
Don't want to disscount the battery due to I can not find the radio code, which sucks.
So I have do it the old fashion why. Originally when I got the car which was only a few weeks agao, I actually picked it up in Germany and drove 950km approx with an average speed of about 200kph and on that trip I ony consumed approx 100 liters of petrol.
Since then I had a full tank on a few times were each time I have easly done over 750 km on.
I take the car in for service and get it back,I do a few small top ups, but I notice something is wrong to I fill the car up and after 500 km the petrol light is one. I do the same again and still the same.
So I know there is something wrong because this is a serious loss in km.
To anser the question about the the fuel filter I am not sure if they changed it, but I have checked for leaks, by parking the car in the garage over night on paper and then checking in the morning also I have had a good sniff around the car with my nose to see if I smell petrol but nothing (I had a pertol leak once in the past and from that I learned you can normally smell it)
I did read somehere in the forum that spark plugs can make a difference, can they make this bigger difference?
Also can you point me in the right direction for the fuel filter I can have a look to see if that is the problem.
Thanks once again for the replies and ssuggestions.

OK ask you mechanic what type of spark plugs he put in there; did you see the old spark plugs condition? Air filter etc. for the fuel filter look under the car on the drivers side you cann't miss it on a 528i
I doubt the leak scenario very much; if you have one you'll see/smell it!
