Impressively low emission car from BMW 

Now when it comes to a little luxury BMW may spring to mind. But a BMW with very low CO2 emissions? Well,yes. Two new engines were introduced this month. The new BMW 118d Coupe and the 120i Coupe blend performance and economy.

The 118d engine has Coupe form. It powered the 2008 World Green Car of the Year. It has a four-cylinder diesel power plant with third generation common rail diesel technology, and achieves an impressive 119g/km CO2 emissions. With a combined fuel consumption of 62.8 mpg, this is probably the cleanest and greenest coupe currently available on the market. Prices are from £20,500 OTR for the ES model, and £23,375 OTR for the M sport variant.

The 120i though not as green, is powered by a Hams Hall built 1,995 cc engine achieving 42.8mpg on the combined cycle and a recorded 153g/km of CO2 emissions.

A combination of style,performance and economy is offered  by BMW in these two packages.
