Average consumption for that week was 4,1liters/100km or 57 mpg.

But then the next week the polar freeze from the North Pole engulfed much of Europe and we had 2 weeks of frozen hell - the coldest was -26,5C and the warmest(!) was -9C...this car does not like cold. Not only does the charging take forever, the batteries are dead before you can start that wonky Spotify-client on the iDrive. Average for that week was 10.8 liters/100km or 21 mpg and on the worst day (-26,5C) a whopping 15.8l/100km or 15 mpg - but I drove like a maniac that day so I could get indoors asap.

This week we're back to normal (3C) and Monday was almost all electric, maybe 1,6 liters/100km and today will be almost the same - still at work.
Do you have EVSE Level 2?

Your actual MPG wasn't too bad. My temperature is often 0-15C, but my MPG in local is sometimes worse than yours when driving with depleted battery.
