@Gassy: Remember that the ActiveHybrid 7 is geared more towards added power (boost) rather than focusing on getting better mileage, the better mileage is a bonus.
If BMW wanted to get better mileage out of the ActiveHybrid 7, they would have engineered it so that the car would be able to also run on electric power alone to REALLY lower the fuel consumption. Mind you, the car isn't light so running on battery alone probably wouldn't get you very far. Although, the ActiveHybrid X6 I think weights about the same and it runs on electric power alone, so it is possible...
