I'm sure I've seen information for the WLTP (and EPA) mpg/CO2 tests being in the default modes. For BMW, that would be 'Comfort', if that is the case.
Will look and see if I can find a reference. EDITED:
WORLD-HARMONIZED LIGHT-DUTY VEHICLES TEST PROCEDURE (WLTP)
Relevant paragraph...

In addition to development of the drive trace, a gearshift strategy for manual transmissions was established. This strategy simulates representative gearshift operation as a function of engine and vehicle characteristics. Automatic transmissions with driver-selectable modes must comply with emission standards in all modes, while the “predominant” mode should be used for efficiency testing.

Predominant... I interpret as the default mode.
