For 2015 they are quoting 4.6.

I assume this is just a revised literature to reflect actual numbers and no changes were made to the vehicles themselves.
From the many road tests I've read, the BMW factory numbers appear to be a bit conservative. Car & Driver and others have been observing consistent 0 to 60 times in the 4.3 to 4.5 second range (automatic version).

Also, from my experience, the car slightly exceeds the EPA MPG ratings, especially on the highway.
