Hi Lancaster and others,
Message from Comcar-
We have taken the new 520d data off for now until we get clarification from BMW. The much improved CO2 and mpg figures are official per the VCA but prices may change in September. BMW recently improved the CO2 and mpg on a wide range of MINIs without increasing prices, but we cannot assume the same will happen here. Someone got carried away with the new figures and broke our policy of not entering data until the complete data set was confirmed.
Apologies for causing some confusion.
Regards

Comcar
Well done on such a speedy and positive response. It does your site a lot of credit.

Regards

This article quotes 8.6s for auto, FWIW

BMW's diesel range
Interesting. So the automatic isn't much quicker but is considerably more efficient (in terms of mpg).

Is that the guy who eats some cornflakes and then says, (and I'm paraphrasing here), "These aren't as crap as I thought they'd be?"

If so, you've lost me.

Yeah, but what we really want is the 200hp 523d
For you there's the 525d with a L6 engine. Just look at the CO2's!

MY '08:
Varioserv Steering pump, Electrical Water pump, Active Aerodynamics,
Air Conditioning decompressing with decoupling function and tyres with reduced rolling resistance.

Not a bad choice for a demanding BMW driver.

Get it with the new autotransmission!
