BMW 316d ES Saloon is the greenest 3 Series ever

BMW’s most efficient, cleanest 3 Series ever goes on sale in September priced at £23,330. For that fairly pricey sum, you get a 316d powered by a 2.0-litre diesel engine which returns 62.8mpg and emits 118g/km of CO2. BMW will even throw in air con, a steering wheel with lots of buttons on it and a pair of foglights. How generous…

But while it might not be the Ultimate Driving Machine, the 316d will still manage to get you from 0-62mph in 10.9 seconds and hit 125mph. And if it drives anywhere near as well as the smaller 116d, the 316d will still be top of the class in the dynamics stakes.
