Not that the 4 cyl isn't capable, it's just a lot to ask a little 2L engine to haul around an AWD 4200 lb vehicle where the 3L does it much more effortlessly, therefore the similar MPG.
BMW should have kept their non-turbo 3L for the base model in their heavier vehicles, but everyone is doing the 4 cyl turbo at the expense of higher maintenance costs of a turbo motor.
