BMW has also extended its lead in the field of conventionally-poweredproduction vehicles, with the introduction of efficiency-raisingtechnologies. At the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the BMW 320dEfficientDynamics Touring Edition will be presented to the public forthe first time. Its four-cylinder diesel engine develops a maximumoutput of 120 kW/163 bhp and yet consumes only an average of4.3 litres per 100 kilometres in the EU test cycle (CO2:114 g/km). In the mid-range premium segment, the BMW 320dEfficientDynamics Touring Edition, together with the similarlyconfigured sedan, provide by far the best combination of drivingpleasure and economy.
