2010 BMW 320d EfficientDynamics

BMW announced that its most fuel-efficient and greenest 3-Series ever completed a record-breaking journey from the UK to Munich and back on one tank of gas. Fueled up and ready to go at the Channel Tunnel, the new 2010 BMW 320d EfficientDynamics sedan made it to Munich and back – a total of 1,013 miles on a single tank of fuel.

The BMW 320d EfficientDynamics was piloted by Tom Ford (of Fifth Gear) who averaged a combined figure of 57 mpg and CO2 emissions of only 109g/km. On his way to Munich, Tom was achieving a 63 mpg and said that he didn’t hit below 54 mpg the entire trip.

“I was prepared for this car to fail in the real world, I was wrong,” Tom said. “Although I did try and be careful and drive in a feather-footed manner, I did cruise at a reasonable 65ish mph on the autoroutes and autobahns, so faster than the usual economy run pace.”

The 2010 BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is powered by a 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged diesel making 163-hp with a maximum torque of 265 lb-ft. Mated to a 6-speed manual, the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics can go from 0-62 mph in 8.2 seconds with a top speed of 140 mph.

    How exactly does this car drive 1,013 miles on a tank of gas when it's a Diesel?

  • ADay

    If he averaged 57 mpg he would need a 17.77 gal tank to achieve 1013 miles. Very legit size tank for this size car.

    and I would buy this car if it were offered in the States. Why BMW doesn't, is beyond me.

    This clearly shows that American oil companies are trying their best to keep fuel efficient vehicles out of the country.

    I wasn't and still am not questioning the math or the capabilities of the car. It's a Diesel, it doesn't run on gas, so how exactly does it get 1,013 miles on a single tank of gas?

    BMW, please import this to the USA.
