andrewwynn will become famous soon enough
On my recent 850 mile drive I was curious about the alternator charging program so I pulled up voltage display on bimmerlink.

Going through the mountains I noticed the voltage drop to ≈ 12.3 going up hills and 14.8 when going down hills.

I think the IBS aims to keep the battery at about 80% charge so it always has room to take charge while coasting. I do wonder how often it charges when driving over a completely level road.
