New535d LESS CO2 FROM SEPT O2?
#1
I checked the invoice on my 535d, and noted the Road Tax charge from the dealer was ?205, this got me thinking as I was sure that it was lower, a quick look at vehicle licencing dept showed e60 cars built up to Aug 07 had 182co2 and those built after that (like mine) had co2 of 178.
Then I looked on the BMW web site it confirmed the lower figure. Any one know why?
The car also has lane departure and other free stuff, which is useless but nice.

Unforunately I do not know why, as both cars are efficient dynamics LCIs, obviously a tweek somewhere. Fuel consumption has improved too - see below for the various cycles.
Sept'07 LCI ............................. Pre Sept'07 LCI
31.4 mpg .............................. 30.7 mpg
52.3 mpg .............................. 52.3 mpg
42.2 mpg ............................... 41.5 mpg

yes, efficient dynamics, ie brake regeneration, decoupling of generation units such as air co and stuff like that..
The pre LCI 535d was 211g/km!
