But although it gets cracking CO2 g/km at 135, it has a large BIK at 21%! That means for me, petrol is the way forwards and the 328i and ActiveHybrid 3 will work out much cheaper. After over 18 years of driving diesel, I cannot see another diesel in my future until the ridiculous TAX is reduced! Shame, cos that'll be a bloody brilliant engine!! There should be a BIK reduction if it conforms to EU6 (which it currently doesn't - only EU5) so this could be an optional extra like the F10/F11 N57 motors. A £900 extra though to reduce NoX emissions and I'd rather spend that money on a HUD or top stereo or whatever...
