BMW 320d EfficientDynamics
What is it?
BMW’s 3 Series saloon gets the ultimate emission reducing EfficientDynamics treatment with dramatic results. It’s the first premium saloon to qualify for a full first year writing down allowance against taxable profits. And for company car drivers, there’s the appeal of a 13% company car tax banding. Priced at £26,480 – the same as the standard BMW 320d SE model.
Here’s our BMW 320d EfficientDynamics review.
What’s hot?
- Those CO2 emissions: just 109g/km of them
- And the amazing fuel economy: 68.9mpg
- Reduced company car tax burden: just 13%
- Benefits from 100% first year writing down allowance
- Also benefits from the usual BMW virtues of being a great drive
- Michelin EnergySaving tyres add to improved ride quality
- And there’s plenty of low-down response from revised engine
- Comfortable and supportive sports seats (£430 option)
- Accurate and precise steering
- Unobtrusive stop-start system
- Did we mention the stunning economy and CO2 emissions?
What’s not?
- Vibration on start up through gear lever
- Engine gets noisy towards the top end
- Limited boot space
- It’s not cheap – and budget £3k for those key options
