The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics

The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics

BMW will be making history if they can get one of their concepts into production. The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is a saloon vehicle which will have a CO2 rating of less than 110g/km, something that has not been achieved by any other manufacturer to date.

BMW has suggested that they will be revealing the 320d EfficientDynamics at this years Frankfurt Motor Show. Eventually the 320d will hit UK showrooms by early 2010, similar in price to the 320d SE at around £26,000-27,000.

Although both vehicles look extremely similar, there are some differences. Yes, they both do feature climate control, rear parking sensors and a multifunctional leather steering wheel, but the similarities stop their. The EfficientDynamics features a start stop system, energy regeneration and electric power steering systems.

Smaller wheels have been fitted with Michelin EnergySaver tyres. The combination of the two allows for much better airflow, and therefore less drag on the car. Thanks to all the changes BMW have made, the 320d will now produce a huge 68.9mpg and a CO2 rating of just 109g/km!

Of course, this makes the 320d EfficientDynamics one of the most eco friendly production cars ever built.
