2014 BMW 328d xDrive Carlos Lago

摘要

"A GROCERY-GETTER?" My dad wasn't impressed. "No," I said. "Well, technically, yes." But he still wasn't getting it. I repeated, more slowly, "Diesel...wagon... sport package." The silence that followed illustrated that the notion of a diesel-powered wagon that's also desirable remains alien to some people. Not to me. Or to other, jealous people in the office. This new 328d long-termer is a very attractive car around these parts. Why? In numbers, the turbo 2.0-liter 1-4 makes 280 Ib-ft of torque and returns 43 mpg freeway, while the range estimator reads north of 520 miles on a full tank. In use, it means a strong mid-range, lots of cargo space, and funny looks from truckers when you fill your luxury wagon up at the gas station. It's a handsome car, too, thanks to the Glacier Silver Metallic ($550) paint and M Sport package ($3850) with its revised bumpers, side skirts, and 18-inch wheels.
