BMW is pleased to announce the launch of the new 116d – the marque’s
most fuel efficient and least polluting vehicle. With a combined
consumption figure of 64.2mpg and a CO2 emissions figure of
118g/km, the BMW 116d even trumps the current World Green Car of the
Year, the BMW 118d.
Available in both three- and five-door guises, the BMW 116d is powered
by a four-cylinder diesel engine producing 116hp. The 1,995cc powerplant
with its 260Nm of torque from 1,750rpm ensures it is capable of a zero
to 62mph time of 10.2 seconds (10.3 seconds for the five-door) before
going on to a top speed of 125mph.
The BMW 116d costs just £35 a year to tax courtesy of a Band B Vehicle
Excise Duty rank, while its 13 per cent Benefit-in-Kind rating also
ensures it makes economical sense for the business user. The new
three-door BMW 116d costs from £17,605 OTR, while the five-door 116d is
priced from £18,135 OTR. Both models go on sale in March 2009.
New Sport trim launched for BMW 1 Series
Three- and five-door versions of the BMW 116i, 116d and 118d are now
available with a new Sport trim level. Customers choosing this car over
an ES model gain 17-inch alloy wheels, front foglights, heated exterior
mirrors and windscreen washer jets, a Sport multi-function leather
steering wheel and Sport seats. The announcement of the Sport
specification marks the launch of a fifth trim level to the 1 Series
line-up that historically featured Standard, ES, SE and M Sport
specifications. Prices start at £17,220 OTR for a three-door BMW 116i
Sport.
