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.
