Lower CO2 emissions 520D

AdamF11 · 08-08-2011, 02:08 PM

Hello all

just noticed on BMW UK website that the CO2 emissions of my F11 520D auto has dropped by 10 to 129g CO2. that pushes it down a whole UK road tax band. It looks like the fuel economy has gone up also. I presume the saloon has seen a similar cut. How have they done this is it just stop start, if so I think I will be using the stop button at more traffic lights. My F11 is still driving like a dream however have issues with wiper hitting window frame making a nasty noise breaking the serenity. BMW stated they had fixed this at dealer I beg to differ. Anyone else with this issue.

I had the same issue with my ex E60, it started after changing the wipers, but I traded my one before I resolved the issue, so maybe trying different set will help, or simply re-install the one you have.

Well spotted, F10 520dSE auto is now 123g CO2 and 60.1mpg combined. Almost as good as the new 520d ED.
