Please note that the following information is a label according to German law (Ordinance on energy consumption labelling for passenger cars).

The values of fuel consumptions, CO2 emissions and energy consumptions shown were determined according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version applicable at the time of type approval. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers optional equipment and the different size of wheels and tires available on the selected model.
The values of some vehicles are already based on the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to ensure the comparison between the vehicles. [With respect to these vehicles, for vehicle related taxes or other duties based (at least inter alia) on CO2-emissions the CO2 values may differ to the values stated here.] The CO2 efficiency specifications are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the European Regulation in its current version applicable. The values shown are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle for the classification.
For further information about the official fuel consumption and the specific CO2 emission of new passenger cars can be taken out of the „handbook of fuel consumption, the CO2 emission and power consumption of new passenger cars“, which is available at all selling points and at https://www.dat.de/angebote/verlagsprodukte/leitfaden-kraftstoffverbrauch.html. Detailed information on the technical data can be found on your BMW country page.

Die Angaben zu Kraftstoffverbrauch, CO2-Emissionen und Stromverbrauch wurden nach dem vorgeschriebenen Messverfahren VO (EU) 2007/715 in der jeweils geltenden Fassung ermittelt. Die Angaben beziehen sich auf ein Fahrzeug in Basisausstattung in Deutschland, die Spannbreiten berücksichtigen Unterschiede in der gewählten Rad- und Reifengröße und der optionalen Sonderausstattung und können sich während der Konfiguration verändern.
Einige Fahrzeuge sind bereits auf Basis des neuen WLTP-Testzyklus ermittelt und zur Vergleichbarkeit auf NEFZ zurückgerechnet. [Bei diesen Fahrzeugen können für die Bemessung von Steuern und anderen fahrzeugbezogenen Abgaben, die (auch) auf den CO2-Ausstoß abstellen, andere als die hier angegebenen Werte gelten.]
Die CO2-Effizienzangaben ergeben sich aus der Richtlinie 1999/94/EG und der Pkw-EnVKV in ihrer aktuellen Fassung und verwenden die Verbrauchs- und CO2-Werte des NEFZ zur Einstufung.
Weitere Informationen zum offiziellen Kraftstoffverbrauch und den offiziellen spezifischen CO2-Emissionen neuer Personenkraftwagen können dem 'Leitfaden über den Kraftstoffverbrauch, die CO2-Emissionen und den Stromverbrauch neuer Personenkraftwagen' entnommen werden, der an allen Verkaufsstellen und bei https://www.dat.de/angebote/verlagsprodukte/leitfaden-kraftstoffverbrauch.html unentgeltlich erhältlich ist.
