BMW 1-Series gets 201hp twin-turbo diesel - 54.3mpg

BMW is announcing a lot of ’green’ news today for its model lineup. The 2008 BMW lineup will now have 22 models that achieve over 48mpg while emitting 140g/km or less of CO2 as well as increased performance. As we just reported earlier, the BMW 6-Series will get a powerful diesel-powered 635d. BMW also announced the new 123d for its 1-series range.

The BMW 123d is powered by a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder twin-turbo diesel engine that produces an outstanding 201 horsepower. That gives the BMW 123d the ability to do 0-62mph in 7.1 seconds with a fuel-economy of 54.3mpg.

Available in 3 and 5 door variants, the123d is fitted with BMW’s Efficient Dynamics system that includes the stop-start function and brake energy regeneration.

Pricing for the new models will be revealed in September near the sale date.

Loving the new diesel enines from BMW... power and economy.

That is incedible, if I was in a position to buy a new car, the 123d would definately be close to the top of my list!

I'm sure with the M pack it will be as good to drive as the best hot hatches, while still doing 54mpg, amazing!

Thought it would be a bigger diffrence in performence but I was wrong.

123d 204hp/400Nm 0-62mph in 7.1
120d 177hp/350Nm 0-62mph in 7.5

It's true and I know that but it's an easy way of getting a preview of the speed and acceleration without having driven the 123d.

Wonder how much it will cost and if the price tag will diff much compered to the 120d.

i need a favour. Because it is 1.30am here and my mind barely works, can anyone translate the 54.3mgp into l/100 km?
