Umm.... only if you assume that the BMF is movement in a straight line
over 
the entire 15 minutes of the turn.  But the rules specifically state
that 
that is NOT the case - BMF represents it's tactical speed, the general 
amount of ground it can cover in a given turn taking into consideration 
stops, starts, jukes, sudden bursts, etc.  It is not accurate to merely
take 
it's BMF, convert that to km, and multiply by 4 to determine kph.
