Matt, Thank you for doing all this!
I am waiting for my own 120d, and this made me even more keen on driving it

The Autobahn stretch you drove was a little curvy. Deformation of the tires in a curve adds to the driving resistance. Driving flat out on an absolutely straight road would probably give you another 3-4 km/h
