Mine really does seem quiet. Any noise it makes, I like the sound of; its not what I would call a clatter.

Ha - the older weaselly diesels that are getting it in the neck
Tax on diesel drivers From April 2018 the first year VED rate for diesel cars that don’t meet the latest standards, will go up by one band. The tax hike will only apply to cars, so no white van man (or woman) will be hit by these measures. The levy will fund a new £220 million Clean Air Fund to support local air quality plans. For a more detailed analysis see our story Autumn Budget 2017: diesel car tax rise and electric car investment. Read more: https://www.which.co.uk/news/2017/11...-need-to-know/ - Which? |

My reading, no new diesel cars are exempt. All new diesel cars already have to comply with EU6.
The references to 'exempt' cars, are to those that comply to EU6 RDE Step 2. Seems RDE Step 1 doesn't even qualify as exempt. The clarification can only come if Step 2 "is, or is not" the test regime that matters. It isn't even here yet.... RDE Step 1 is only now being implemented, not yet required for new registrations. |

Similarly the 530xd will now have the same VED as the 540xi. |

Kinda sucks they are penalising the Euro 6 cars which are suppose to be cleaner than previous models. Why did I buy a diesel ? I do frequent trip to Europe to see family so the economy side of it was the reason why. On long runs I can average 50-54mpg. There is no Petrol car that can match it with the same power or torque.
I think this is just another way to fleece us for more money. This government really is inept worse than Cameron and his team. Corbyn isn’t any better. The future of this country doesn’t look any brighter until we have strong leadership and good policies. |

with all this diesel mess, i am doubting to sell my 2014 320D EU5 and keeping it till i run it to the ground. I wont nee to drive it intro London.
Haven't done math but logic tells me i will loose more money by switching from diesel to petrol; Sell 320D with 4 years warranty remaining at big value loss then buy petrol version at higher costs than usual due to demand increase

Back in 2008 SUVs and large petrol engines were being targeted by a similar media bandwagon. I was reaching the 4 year point where I would normally my sell my cars (a high spec 2004 4.4 X5 with a new list of about £60k). The best offer from a dealer was £12k. I might have got £1 - 1.5k more privately, but this still felt insanely cheap for a car like that. So I kept it for another 3 years and 30k miles, and sold it for £11k in 2011 by which time the media had found something new to be scared of. There are some similarities with the current diesel situation. I could probably sell my £49k list 3.5 year old car for £17-18k today, or wait another 3.5 years and sell it for £11k. A no-brainer really, particularly as it's such a great car. |
