Titolo: BMW: nuovi diesel EURO IV con FAP in arrivo

Ciao a tutti
Copio/incollo (in inglese)
More BMW Euro IV diesel engines to filter through in 2004
The successful BMW diesel story continues to unfold thanks to the launch of
Euro IV compliant 2.0-litre diesel engines this month. This adds to the
appeal of 3 Series diesel models which already benefit from free service and
maintenance packages, superb economy and class-leading performance figures.
Now more company car drivers are set to benefit from cheaper motoring, as
BMW announces the arrival of additional Euro IV BMW diesel engines next
year. In March 2004 the 525d SE, 530d SE, 330d SE and all-new 330Cd SE Coupé
will join Euro IV compliant 2.0-litre diesel 3 Series models*.
Euro IV compliance means exemption from the government?s three per cent
surcharge on diesel company car tax, saving drivers hundreds of pounds in
contributions each year. With better emissions performance, the new
generation of cleaner BMW diesel engines also promise significant
environmental benefits and come well ahead of the 1 January 2006 Euro IV
deadline for all new cars.
Savings by model - higher rate / lower rate company car tax payer
320td Compact - £129.29 / £235.08
320dES Saloon - £137.51 / £250.02
320d SE Saloon - £150.61 / £273.84
320d SE Touring - £154.67 / £281.22
320Cd SE Coupe - £159.39 / £289.80
330d SE - £180.97 / £329.04
330Cd SE Coupé - TBC
525d SE - TBC
530d SE - £203.15/ £369.36
Particle filter
While adjustments to the engine have enabled Euro IV compliance for 3 Series
diesel models, new 5 Series diesel variants will feature a revolutionary
second-generation particle filter. This includes an element with catalytic
coating capable of eliminating particle emissions by almost 100 per cent.
Together with specifically harmonised engine management, the coating negates
the need for additives in the fuel as most particle emissions are
permanently converted within the filter itself.
Ash accumulation is reduced to a minimum, helping extend the service life of
the filter elements while improvements to the engine further serve to
prevent particle generation from the start. Upgraded injection jets and
optimised injection timing on second generation common-rail diesel units
help to reduce significantly the emission of raw engine particles, helping
extend the filter?s long regeneration intervals.
In designing the particle filter, BMW engineers ensured that it would have
no perceptible effect on the performance of BMW?s larger diesel engines.
There is also no increase in fuel consumption, and therefore CO2 emissions,
which might otherwise erode the benefits of Euro IV status by pushing the
car into a higher tax bracket.
Free service and maintenance
As well as promising less tax for company car drivers, all new diesel 3
Series come with a free service and maintenance package. Valid for five
years or 60,000 miles, Service Inclusive covers items like oil services,
inspection services, replacement pads and discs, wiper blades, brake fluid
as well as all labour charges.
While linked to BMW?s three year unlimited mileage warranty, maintenance
costs are kept to a minimum saving owners thousands of pounds. Service
Inclusive is also fully transferable if the vehicle is sold making the 3
Series diesel an attractive prospect for used car buyers.
Service Inclusive is also available as an option on new 5 Series models, for
a one-off payment of £750.00
Note to editors:
* 525d SE and 530d SE will be Euro IV compliant in both manual and automatic
variants from March 2004. Euro IV compliance also applies to all manual 330d
SE Saloon and Touring, 330Cd SE Coupé models from March 2004 and all current
3 Series 2.0-litre diesel variants; 3 Series diesel models with automatic
gearboxes remain Euro III compliant.

Stiamo parlando di UK..... dove ancora c'č il 2.5 diesel.
Btw č un filtro antiparticolato e una mappa piů aggressiva per tenere gli
stessi cv per far fronte alla perdita di potenza dovuta all'euro 4.
In pratica come quello che sto facendo io andando via escludendo l'egr e con
la centralina....

Alla fine l'hai staccata l'EGR? Ma non mi avevi detto che è meglio 
lasciarla stare come sta?
