And yes, before anyone states the blindingly obvious, BMI is a rough but in some cases imperfect measurement.

It's extremely imperfect, in fact. Anyone who has ever touched a weight or played a sport in their life is going to get a grossly inaccurate measurement. My BMI says I'm morbidly obese, and I am 6' 4", 227lbs. with less than 10% body fat.
