The article discribes “features BMW calls EfficientDynamics: battery recharge when braking…” What would be the point of regenerative breaking in a Diesel car without an electric engine? Does that mean that they have eleminated the Alternator to increase mileage? Interesting though that a diesel can beat a standard Prius. Wonder how that will hold up as Plug in Hybrids start reaching the market?

CAN – AD is:
• A non-chemical fuel conditioner.
• EPA tested, registered.
• 100% vegetable-based.
• 100% organic.
• 100% bio-degradable and completely non-toxic.
• Derived from 100% renewable and sustainable sources.
• Manufactured in a pharmaceutical quality facility in Canada ensuring true consistency.
• A cleansing agent whose chemical structure is similar to an ordinary detergent. However; CAN -AD does not contain any chemical additives or petroleum additives.
• Completely safe for ALL engines or other parts of the equipment both in the short and long term. • Completely safe for people. In fact, CAN- AD is so safe it can be shipped by air.
• Completely dissolves in the fuel tank leaving no residuals. • Contains bound oxygen. Thanks to continuously cleaned injectors/nozzles and the supplied oxygen, a more complete combustion is achieved. This means that more power is extracted during combustion and that fewer carbon particles pass through. • This, in turn, means lower fuel consumption and fewer exhaust emissions.
• CAN – AD cleans so efficiently that soot is released in the combustion chamber, as are bacterial-type contaminants in both the tank and fuel lines.
• CAN – AD is easy to use. There are no special handling or storage worries. Simply add to your fuel tank when adding fuel. • CAN – AD has a shelf life of 2 years

I drive a 2007 BMW 335i with 29000km on the odo. I am currently getting over 1000km range on the 63 litre tank far better than the 330i model with average speeds of 110km/h on a long stretch and average 10.6 litres /100km in town driving. This is acheived by using the cruise control on long stretches and not using hard takeoffs.

The 520d has a 46 mpg (US) rating. A 320d has a 49 mpg rating. A 318d has a 52 mpg rating.
The four-cylinder diesels are really fantastic engines.

Is anyone really going to care for a diesel car when we are now seeing diesel for $4/gallon??? Diesel where I lives is now $.50 MORE than a gallon of 93 octane…the new BMW diesels better get 45mpg or better to justify the $4/gallon

I know BMW’s get fantastic gas mileage. Anyone that has ever told me that they didn’t I always pointed to my readout on my 05 330i ZSP. I got a little over 500 miles to a tank twice on trips down to FL. And I averaged between 460-480 miles when driving with a healthy dose of city and highway driving… The BMW I6 is a great gas mileage engine, probably the best in the world.
