There is no point of comparing MPG between 40i and 45e. The comparison is $/mile driven. And this highly depend on electricity cost vs gas cost in specific geo. In my local, EV cost more to operate than gas in 45e now.
And if you don’t charge 45e at all and use it as just non plug in hybrid, if you believe BMW document, 40i is more efficient.
