  | Autocar - BMW 116d     What is it? This is the new BMW 116d, the cleanest and most economical vehicle in BMW’s range. The 116d has a CO2 output of 118g/km and a combined figure of 64.2mpg. The BMW 116d is significant, because BMW doesn’t dress up a couple of models with a catchy name like EcoMagic and sell them at a premium. Under its Efficient Dynamics programme, BMW has a range of technologies that can be used where best appropriate. For example the BMW 116d is fitted with an electric water pump, but not automatic grille vanes because closing off air to the intercooler is counterproductive; whereas being able to control the flow rate of the water pump is helpful. The 116d is also fitted with electric power steering, stop-start, and low rolling resistance front tyres. Full Story: Autocar - BMW 116d M

| 118d is a huge hit here in Europe. Maybe this engine will also be a big seller.
