Offline | Yeh, I own a ONE D. Its a 1.4 Toyota engine, which came with either 75bhp or 88bhp, depending on the age of the car. Mine is one of the last made, and as such is an 88bhp model. ![]() It runs very well. Mpg wise, it returns an average of about 40mpg at the moment, but that is because I usually drive it quite hard. When I'm being sensible on long journeys 53mpg is entirely possible. ![]() Performance wise, I'd say it is easily on par with the ONE petrol, and having driven both I definitely prefer the D. It has more poke in the mid range, and I'm pretty certain it would be quicker in the real world. I have also driven a Cooper, and getting back into my ONE D didn't feel as slow as I thought it might. The Cooper definitely is quicker though, they are great cars. ![]() How come you don't have it over there? Is it because demand would likely be fairly low? James. |

Offline | Thank you for the input. I am not sure why we do not have it here, i think mostly due to the fact that it would not be viable for BMW to bring it here, and the diesel here is a bit dodgy (I think) according to some articles I have read! |
