| 2016 BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition |
The new BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition takes to the stage with further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions up its sleeve. This variant uses features such as a switchable coolant pump and specific combustion chamber pressure control for its likewise 85 kW/116 hp three-cylinder diesel engine to set a new efficiency benchmark for the whole of the BMW model range.
The new BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 10.4 seconds and posts average fuel consumption of 3.8 - 3.4 litres per 100 kilometres (74.3 - 83.1 mpg imp). CO2 emissions are 101 - 89 grams per kilometre (figures according to EU test cycle, may vary depending on the tyre format specified).
The new BMW 1-Series models also impress with their improved aerodynamics. At the front of the car, airflow is optimised by features including the newly designed front apron and an updated sealing concept for the transition between the headlights and bonnet. The BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition also comes with active air flap control and specially designed kidney grille bars which, with their slightly angled slant, minimise the amount of air that can flow into the engine compartment - beyond what is needed for cooling purposes. With these measures in place, the new BMW 1-Series models have a lower drag coefficient (Cd) than that of their predecessors. The Cd of the new BMW 116d EfficientDynamics Edition, for example, has been reduced to 0.29.
