Question 1

Which new BMW models are available with a diesel engine?

Accepted Answer

The 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7 Series and the X1, X2, X3, X5, X6 and X7. Every diesel version has an automatic gearbox.

Question 2

How much road tax does a new diesel BMW pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Its WLTP CO₂ figure × 0.9 × a band factor, 0.5 up to 90 g/km and 0.1 more per 10 g. A diesel at 150 g/km pays €148 a year, half as much again as a petrol car with the same figure.

Question 3

Can a cross-border commuter buy a new diesel BMW in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but only a resident in Luxembourg's national register can register a car there, so you register it at home and pay that country's VAT and taxes. Check your own country's rules for diesels too, such as low-emission zones.

Question 4

Is a new diesel BMW worth it over a plug-in hybrid?

Accepted Answer

For long motorway runs and towing, a diesel keeps its edge. For shorter daily trips a plug-in hybrid can run on electricity and, in Luxembourg, usually pays only the €30 minimum road tax.
