What do you think of this new highly efficient BMW 3 series?

Sep 07, 2009 by Tom T | Posted in Alternative Fuel Vehicles

It's called the 320d SE Effectual Dynamics and does 68.9mpg (combined), has 163hp and 265lb/ft torque. 0-62mph takes 8.2secs. Completely Impressive I think.

Here's the official BMW link with a picture:

And a look at with more pictures:

If you're in the USA or anywhere else not in Europe, do you think this car would sell where you are? Would you buy one if you were looking for a bmw 3 series or nearly the same? Yes - maybe they would have to make a few modifications for US regulations, but just assume that could be easily done. And it's only available as a manual... although BMW do have an 8 quickness auto coming soon that works with stop start technology.

just interested in other people's thoughts in point of fact. I think it's really impressive how much they have improved both power and fuel economy over the last decade. 9 years ago the 320d only managed 136bhp and 49.6mpg, so they've gained 25bhp and almost 20mpg, as well as the car being a seldom bigger.

just interested in other people's thoughts really. I think it's really affecting how much they have improved both power and fuel economy over the last decade. 9 years ago the 320d only managed 136bhp and 49.6mpg, so they've gained 25bhp and almost 20mpg, as well as the car being a microscopic bigger.

why dont bmw sell their U.S. cars with their more efficient petrol and diesel engines?

Sep 04, 2009 by Tom T | Posted in BMW

For standard, this is their most efficient 3 series one:

And they dont blow the whistle on the 1 series hatchback at all, when its cheaper and more practical than the coupe.

I would have thought even in the US there'd be plenty of people wanting a cheaper to buy, cheaper to run, more environmentally fraternal BMW.
Bob,
1. The EU has crash standards, emissions regulations etc too, they're not that different.

2. When i said cheaper i didnt mean that much cheaper, a 320d would be perhaps $6000 less than a 328i Or a 1 series 3dr hatch $1500 less than a coupe.

3. "The typical BMW buyer is not driven by low direction costs. They are buying performance, style, image and technology." I beg to differ, here the 3 series is a very popular callers car, particularly the 320d, they do high mileages so fuel economy is important, which also affects their company car tax debit. The 320d is by far the most popular BMW.

4. Compared to hybrids, diesels are cheaper to buy and do more mpg in the real world. Maintenance costs differ depending on the car but I think they're pretty comparable to gas powered cars.

They had kindest assure to be sold the 1 series hatchback

I am in my early 20s and would like a car for under £20,000 ideally under £15,000?

I thirst for a car that is ideally a coupe because i dont need a big car as i dont have a family, but i dont want a tiny two seater either. I would like it to be casual but also comfortable for cruising around town and also good looking and with a quality feel to it. For example, a BMW 3 Series 2007/6. I identify this is a picky list but i would like other people to suggest cars as i need to look at other cars i maybe missing. Appreciation you :)
