I fully agree that given the price of the vehicle, mileage should not be top of mind for cost reasons.
However, some of us pay a lot of attention to mileage, for reasons other than costs. When I didn't need to pay for fuel (X5 and 535i), it didn't stop me from measuring my fuel consumption and trying to improve it. We bought an X3 to replace the E53 instead of an E70, partly for fuel consumption reasons. Again, fuel cost didn't matter at all, it was the principle.
Some of us calculate our own personal carbon footprints. But at the same time we enjoy BMWs. I don't think there is necessarily a conflict there.
