There's a misunderstanding. BMW claim 25%
lower consumption according to EU-norm, which is usually unrealistically low. It's just because of maths that this translates to 33% higher milage ( 1/(100%-25%) ).
Official combined EU fuel consumption is 8.3l/km with DCT which is equivalent to 28.34mpg. Highway: 6.7l/km ~ 35.1mpg. City: 11.1l/100km ~ 21.2mpg.
Milage with MT is a bit lower. I don't know how realistic US testing is, though. 35.1mpg can only be achieved by going 55mph quite constantly, I think.
