I’m a fan – a diesel fan that is. Always have been, although it is rare that I drive one and for my personal vehicle it wasn’t really a viable option. But here I am, one week with a luxury vehicle that offered comfortable driving in harsh conditions and returned downright amazing fuel economy – what’s not to like?
I suppose the only thing I could complain about was that diesel was seven cents a litre more than regular gasoline at the station where I filled up the BMW 328d. Then again, the station down the road that didn’t have diesel was only two cents a litre cheaper than the diesel pumps. But those seven cents didn’t really matter too much to me. I drove 380 km this week on just 25 litres of fuel, averaging 6.2 L/100 km and with the trip computer claiming I could travel another 580 km before empty. I was very happy indeed.
MSRP as tested (including destination): $58,345
