BMW 120d
















BMW 120d is the world's first four-cylinder engine with Variable Twin Turbo. Third-generation common rail injection ensures exceptional performance in hand with unbeatable fuel consumption levels and fuel efficiency at 55 miles per gallon And thanks to the engine block now being made solely of aluminum, weight is reduced by an huge, colossal 20kg. BMW 2.0-liter diesel that arrived in the 120d proved to be a pleasant surprise. This 2.0-liter feels about 50 percent larger than the numbers infer as it pulls defiantly all the way to the power peak at 4000 rpm . 120d came with an excellent six-speed automatic .Acceleration to 60 takes 7.1 seconds, with the quarter-mile arriving in 15.6 seconds at 89 mph. The 5-to-60-mph time takes a bit longer, 8.4 seconds. Any way now you have a $25,000 BMW that is closer to the Ultimate Driving Machine ideal than BMWs costing twice its price.
