BMW 3 Series 320ED driven

Industrial espionage must occur. This being so, other car makers should send henchmen to BMW's headquarters and kidnap the brains behind this 3-Series, then extract his wisdom. The man is a wizard.

This is the Efficient Dynamics version of the 320, and while that sounds tediously Germanic, it's also deeply impressive. Consider this: 10 years ago a 320d managed 50mpg and 152g/km CO2, figures that impressed at the time and would still beat some rivals today. A decade on, this one manages 69mpg and 109g/km, making it the first PremiumExecMobile to duck below the magic threshold of 110g. In fact, this is the most efficient BMW ever.
