BMW's venerable EfficientDynamics programme is allowing the German maker to sink to new lows for 2009, as it unveils the 116d. The newcomer emits less CO2 than any car that's ever worn the blue and white propeller.
It also sups less fuel per mile, making it even more efficient than the current World Green Car of the Year, the BMW 118d, it's very own brother. The stats are thus: 64.2mpg, 118g/km, 116bhp and 192lb.ft of torque. The 2.0-litre diesel engine will propel the car to 62mph from standstill in 10.2 seconds and go on to a not-so-green 125mph, all the while wearing a tax disc worth just £35.
Set to hit showrooms in March this year, the 116d will cost £17,605 for the three-door model, with a £530 premium for an extra pair of doors. A newly-announced 'Sport' trim level is also available on the new car, which adds among other things bigger alloys, sport seats and front fog lights.
