The 128/135 (and other 1er cars) are not hybrids, mild or otherwise. But BMW has poured money into their Efficient Dynamics program with the aim of increasing fuel efficiency and the 1er has received some of the benefits from this program.

Electric water pump, electric steering rack, and an alternator-on-a-clutch (which I thik we'll see in the US). Edmunds.com had a good article on some of the technology of Effecient Dynamics, found here.

That article is very interesting, quite technical. I wish they had some standard numbers for us, but Im sure sooner or later there will be.
