BMW's comment, bold part edited by me.

Quote:
As part of CO2 measures, BMW is introducing various technologies with the aim of reducing fuel consumption in all vehicles of the BMW Group. One of these measures is the partial recovery or recuperation of the kinetic energy used by the engine. Depending on the driving profile, the intelligent alternator control alone can reduce CO2 emission by up to 3 % and therefore save energy. For the customer this function has no influence whatsoever on the power output development of BMW vehicles.
