The secret sauce for BMW is usually the eco pro mode (which the EPA does not test against, they test in comfort, as it is the default drive mode).
Eco pro allows you to coast efficiently, which can help at low speeds city traffic and a bit at highway as well.
In eco pro on my M340i, I can easily get into the low to mid 30s mixed. High 30s mostly highway. Even hit 41 once briefly during a highway drive. For a nearly 400HP engine with no hybrid powertrain beyond a 48v MH, that’s impressive.
