BMW 320D With Efficient Dynamics On The Road

July 30, 2010 by: Robert Downey

BMW 320d, EfficientDynamics Edition, the most effective model from BMW – an unprecedented combination between low emissions and pleasure of driving: 4.1 litres/100 km and 109 grams CO 2 / km for an output of 163 hp.

BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition has been presented for the first time at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show edition. BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition stands with consumption of only 4.1 liters of diesel /100 km and a CO2 emission level of 109 grams per kilometer in the EU test cycle.

Optimized diesel engine with four-cylinder emissions and reduced consumption.The starting point in developing the engine for BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition is the propeller with four-cylinder with a capacity of 2.0-liter, already available in various power versions of the BMW 316d, BMW 318d and BMW 320d. The engine was specially designed for BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition and develops a maximum power of 163 hp and maximum torque of 360 Nm available from 1750.

Dynamic characteristics of a BMW model remark from the car acceleration also, the sprint from 0-100 km / h is achieved in only 8.2 seconds, and the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition accelerates in fifth gear from 80-120 km / h in 9.6 seconds. Maximum speed reached is 225 km / h. Lower emissions, greater driving pleasure: the implementation of a constant potential measures for BMW EfficientDynamics. BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition has a full range of technologies to help reduce both fuel consumption, and emissions standard, which is already offered at other BMW 3 Series models. For example, Brake Energy Regeneration (recovery of energy when using brakes) is coupling the alternator to charge the battery power only when braking, allowing the engine to develop free power on acceleration.

Auto Start Stop Function stops the engine even with a short stationary in traffic, so this function avoids unnecessary use of fuel at idle. The indicator of recommended gear in the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Edition offers the driver the necessary information for a economic drive. Intelligent and active operation of several systems reduce energy consumption and keeps engine power for accelerating. For example, air conditioning motor compressor can be coupled by a magnetic clutch, Electronic Power Steering EPS (electric power steering) and it operates only when the wheel spins or electric water pump is electrically operated.

BMW EfficientDynamics continues it’s policy and offers the new model at the same price list with the price of BMW 320d.

A British journalist was able to travel 1630 kilometers, when driving a BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics, with a single tank only. German sedan is able to consume only 3.4 liters per 100 kilometers.

During the test, the journalist tried an economic drive, but were situations in which he didn’t strove to achieve a very low consumption, and ran normally. The route gave the opportunity to get even a value of 3.0 liters per 100 km, which is truly a performance for such a model.

The current BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics is able to provide a total power of 165 horse power, between 3500 and 4200 rotations, and also a torque of 360 Nm, available on a range of speeds between 1750 and 3000 rpm. To reduce consumption, the Bavarian manufacturer has equipped the sedan with a start-stop system, the system for recovering braking energy, with a modified transmission and with a suspension that lowers the ride height and a set of Michelin Energy Saver.
