BMW’s diesel models achieved the maximum score for nitrogen oxide values recorded in a real road test conducted by ADAC in Germany. The following models achieved the maximum score in the emissions section of the ADAC EcoTest and were classified as exceptional:
BMW 520d Touring (combined consumption*: 4.8-4.7 l/100 km, CO2 emissions2*: 125-123 g/km; data from 06.12.2018)
BMW 218d Active Tourer Steptronic (combined consumption*: 4.5 l/100 km, CO2 emissions2*: 119 g/km; data from 10.12.2018)
BMW X1 sDrive 18d Steptronic (combined consumption *: 4.6 l/100 km, CO2 emissions2*: 121 g/km; data from 10.12.2018)
A monk. EcoTest organized by ADAC (German Automobile Association) is a rigorous testing process that allows vehicles to be thoroughly inspected, including measurements of their pollutant emissions when driven on the road under real-world conditions. Three BMW diesel models achieved the best possible score of 50 points and were awarded Level 1 recognition, excellent. The BMW 520d Touring performed excellently in nitrogen oxide tests, measuring under 16 mg/km in city driving and under 10 mg/km in extra-urban and motorway driving. The maximum permissible threshold is 168 mg/km. ADAC said the following about BMW is a record. In some cases, the extremely sensitive measuring equipment used in the test could barely detect emissions.
Even in the past, BMW models had already achieved similar results in nitrogen oxide emission tests. This was the case, for example, in a real road test carried out by the German automotive magazine Auto, Motor und Sport (Issue 19, 23 March 2017) and in numerous follow-up tests carried out by authorities in countries including France, Korea and Japan. Here the respective BMW models achieved some of the best results.
The results of the ADAC tests are further proof that BMW’s current diesel models, with their advanced technology, produce extremely low emissions. Three elements are particularly fundamental to achieving this goal:
1. Years of experience and continuous improvement of all components used to reduce NO emissionsx (eg exhaust gas recirculation, absorption catalyst and SCR system).
2. Use of the latest technology for exhaust gas aftertreatment.
3. Matching the engine configuration with this advanced exhaust gas aftertreatment technology in the early stages of the vehicle development process.

* Values related to fuel consumption, CO emissions2 and the specified energy consumption was determined in a standard test cycle in accordance with European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in its current version. The figures refer to the vehicle in basic configuration in Germany and the range shown includes transmission (automatic or manual) and different wheels and tires available on the selected model and may vary on installation. Value of vehicles marked with
are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated into equivalent NEDC values to enable comparisons between vehicles.
