THe test cycle is different in different countries, so what you might see in one, may not be true elsewhere, and, very few people actually drive their vehicle exactly like the test cycle, so their results will differ. BMW, and everyone else, advertise the scripted test results so you can compare, but few will actually get the same values because their speeds are different, their acceleration is not the same, the weather is different, and the elevation changes could be as well. How much stop and go can affect it considerably, as the vehicle is quite heavy and you'll never recover as much energy in regeneration as you expend in getting to speed.
