Fuelling a Cleaner Future.... The BMW 118d, Congestion Charge Free
19/02/2008
New legislation that comes into effect in October means drivers of vehicles emitting less than 120g/km will be Congestion Charge exempt. Drivers of cars emitting between 120g/km and 225g/km will continue to pay the standard £8 a day fee, while those driving vehicles that record more than 225g/km will pay an increased daily charge of £25.
The change in charging structure means BMW 118d owners will be financially better off than owners of other prestige cars. Most BMWs will remain within the £8 threshold, but the BMW 118d falls into the new sub 120g/km Congestion Charge free bracket. This means that from October 2008 you can save £2,040 a year driving in the capital compared to owners of non-exempt rival products.
Innovation in cars are the result of developments, advancements and improvements – but BMW has a wider goal: to deliver all of these qualities, but ‘cleaner’. It is not a distant goal, either. The BMW EfficientDynamics programme is focusing on increasing engine power as well as reducing both fuel consumption and emissions, and it is delivering tangible results – now.
The three and five door BMW 118d now record an impressive 62.8mpg on the combined cycle with CO2 emissions of 119g/km - putting it into the Band B category for Vehicle Excise Duty. The BMW 118d now costs just £35 a year to tax.
For further information on the BMW 118d or to arrange a test drive* please call Hexagon on 020 8444 1111.
Official fuel economy figures for the BMW 118d (Manual): Extra Urban 70.6 mpg (4.0 l/100km). Urban 52.3 mpg (5.4 l/100km). Combined 62.8 mpg (4.5 l/100km). CO2 emissions 119 g/km).
*Test drive subject to applicant status and availability.
