BMW do use the term "Brake Energy Regeneration" in the context of their Efficient Dynamics explanations.

BMW technical data uses the more appropriate wording, "Energy Recuperation", which we know is more accurate. We are 'recouping' what would be wasted energy on the over-run, the extra alternator load partly retarding the vehicle.
