The highly-efficient F30 BMW 320d EfficientDynamics edition shows up at the BMW exhibit in Geneva.
Available only to European customers, the 320d ED is powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four cylinder diesel engine with common rail direct fuel injection and variable intake geometry.
To increase the fuel economy of the BMW 320d to a maximum, the EfficientDynamics Edition saw a reduction in power from 184 hp (135 kW) to 163 hp (120 kW). Furthermore a centrifugal pendulum absorber was integrated in the dual-mass flywheel of the engine.
Innovative Energy Saver tires with reduced rolling resistance, along with other fuel savings features, allow the BMW 320d ED to be driven 1,375 km (855 miles) with the 57 liter (15 gallon) fuel tank. The fuel economy is 4.1 l/100 km (57 mpg).
Unfortunately for US customers, BMW has no plans to offer the amazing diesel on this side of the ocean.
