BMW's presentation at the 78th International Geneva Motor Show 2008
is characterised in particular by the continuation of the Company's model
initiative and the BMW EfficientDynamics development strategy widely
lauded for its progressive outlook into the future. In Geneva the world's
best-selling manufacturer of premium automobiles is presenting thrilling new
models in various segments, concentrating in particular on the ongoing
reduction of fuel consumption and emissions.


All new BMWs come as standard with innovative, efficiency-promoting
technologies. Set against their respective competitors, these outstanding cars
therefore establish a new benchmark in terms of both all-round economy
and driving dynamics, virtually all of BMW's model series, irrespective of
their engines and performance, making an effective contribution to the
reduction
of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
