The BMW 1 Series Diesel range
The BMW 1 Series range offers two diesel models; both models feature our new 3rd generation four-cylinder diesel engine.
118d
The 118d is the worlds most talked about new small diesel model and is the very epitome of BMW EfficientDynamics in action. This model takes fuel efficiency to new heights, with figures of just 4.7 litres for every 100 kilometres of driving. Even with its thrifty engine you still have the benefit of 105 kW and 300 Nm of torque.
This 3rd generation four-cylinder diesel engine is the most powerful in its class and produces considerably more torque than any of its rivals. Measured on kilowatts per litre of capacity, it produces more power per litre than most diesel production cars. A high pressure injection system with distributor pump and stepped cams delivers smooth, uncannily quiet performance throughout the power curve, from standing start to cruise.
With power, of course, comes responsibility. BMW's variable geometry turbocharger ensures immediate throttle response for safer overtaking and atomises more fuel to improve consumption and minimise harmful emissions.
120d
The 120d features the same powerful engine as the 118d but with higher performance of 130 kw and 350 Nm of torque. The top speed is also increased to 226 km/h.
