Sporting diesels power new BMW 1-series Coupe

The new BMW 1-series goes on sale in November.

There will be three engine choices.

Two are diesel: a 120d and twin turbo 123d.

And one petrol: the 135i.

The 1325i has a 306hp 3.0-litre straight-six twin turbo engine.

The 123d is the world’s most powerful production four-cylinder diesel.

The unit produces 204hp and 400Nm torque. Yet its fuel economy is 54.3mpg.

The key model for business car drivers, though, is the 120d model. It has emissions of 128g/km, placing it in the 18% company car tax banding. Fuel economy is 58.9mpg.

Like the 123d model, the 120d features BMW’s EfficientDynamics technology – Auto Stop-Start, Brake Energy Regeneration, and Electric power Steering – to provide fuel savings.
