FWIW, not every car is tested - only 10% or so in a given year. The EPA relies on manufacturer estimates. So the rating you see on the window sticker is likely to be BMW's estimate. Now, they have every incentive to not exaggerate since lawsuits could ensue (and have before). So we can expect it to be close to what the EPA would find in their own testing (test procedures are public, naturally). That all being said, your actual real world mileage could vary greatly from that number anyway.
