East Bay BMW is
proud to announce that BMW Advanced Diesel has received the 2008 World Green Car award. The prestigious World Green Car Trophy is displayed at BMW North America's corporate headquarters in
Woodcliff Lake, NJ. A replica will soon be on display at East Bay BMW in
Pleasanton.
The BMW 118d with efficient dynamics, a compact hatchback powered by a 4 cylinder diesel putting out 143 hp was named the World Green Car of the Year at New York Auto Show. Marketwatch reports, "the diesel-powered hatchback claims mileage of more than 50 miles per gallon". Easier Motoring adds, "to be eligible for the 2008 World Green Car award, a vehicle had to be available in at least one major market during 2007." The 118d is sold in Europe. It also had to travel more than 47 miles per gallon, feature technologies specifically designed to increase fuel economy or decrease emissions and meet or exceed strict new tailpipe emissions requires in Europe and the U.S.
The BMW Advance Diesel technology used in the 118d which won the award is the same technology used in the 335d and X5 diesel models that will be arriving at East Bay BMW in Pleasanton soon. BMW is dedicated to improving efficiency and reducing emissions without diminishing the exhilaration of the The Ultimate Driving Machine.
