Excerpt from BMW 1 Series article
[ QUOTE ]
Most powerful is the four-cylinder diesel-powered 120d, which has 163 hp on tap, performance figures of 0-62 mph in 7.9 seconds, and a top speed of 137 mph. With 250 lb-ft of torque, this diesel will provide very useful acceleration. These figures come with gas mileage of 41.3 mpg, a major consideration in Europe, where fuel prices bear a heavy tax burden.
The more powerful engines will come with a six-speed manual, while the smaller petrol engine will be delivered with a five-speed. The 2.0-liter petrol and diesel versions will be offered with a six-speed auto.
[/ QUOTE ] The 1 Series is not planned for North America. If it were the diesel 120d would be my choice. I wonder how much torque this beast delivers to the wheels?
