• WLTP CO2 data available for the entire BMW range
• Transparent data includes BIK rates for every model
• Information enables corporate customers to calculate their tax liability on any new BMW
• Award-winning BMW 3 Series 330e plug-in hybrid confirmed at 10 per cent BIK

BMW UK is ready for the industry-wide change to benefit in kind (BIK) for company cars registered from 6 April 2020, when BIK calculations will move from using NEDC CO2 data to WLTP CO2 data. The proactive approach adopted by BMW gives business customers full visibility of the resulting BIK percentage rates that will be applicable moving forward.

The data ensures that company car drivers can now order any BMW or MINI with the reassurance of knowing how it will impact their tax liability for the next tax year, plus subsequent 2021/2022 and 2022/23 tax years.

All customers can see this data themselves by configuring their vehicle of choice on www.bmw.co.uk, with both NEDC and WLTP emissions information visible during specification process.

Rob East, General Manager of Corporate Sales at BMW UK, said: “With the BIK tax liability a key consideration for many company car drivers when choosing a new vehicle, it’s imperative that we provide our customers with this information. This transparency allows them quickly to make an informed decision as to whether their favoured BMW works for them from a tax point of view. Without WLTP details, they simply have no way of knowing.”

He added: “Ensuring the easy availability of these details underlines our drive to make it as straightforward as possible for business customers to purchase a new BMW. It also reflects the increased level of interest that there is in our key corporate models such as the new 1 Series and new 3 Series.”

The proactive approach adopted by BMW to this industry-wide change coincides with key corporate models winning numerous awards.

The 330e hybrid, with an all-electric range of up to 36 miles and BIK confirmed at 10 per cent, was recently named Best Plug-in Hybrid Car and Best Executive Car at the What Car? Awards 2020. The 3 Series also won the Safety Award, with the 5 Series taking the title of Best Luxury Car. The 1 Series, 3 Series and 5 Series were all category winners in the Company Car Today CCT100 Awards, including the 3 Series taking home the ultimate CCT100 Car of the Year Award.

There was more success at the Fleet World Great British Fleet Awards, with BMW winning Fleet Manufacturer of the Year and category wins for the 1 Series and 3 Series.

*Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption were measured using the methods required according to Regulation (EC) 2007/715 as amended. The figures are calculated using a vehicle fitted with basic equipment in Germany, the ranges stated take into account differences in selected wheel and tyre sizes as well as the optional equipment. They may change during configuration.

The figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle and adapted to NEDC for comparison purposes. In these vehicles, different figures than those published here may apply for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the "Manual on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars", available free of charge at all sales outlets, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.

CO2 emission information.

The values for fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and energy consumption shown were determined in a standardised test cycle according to the European Regulation (EC) 715/2007 in the version currently applicable. The figures refer to a vehicle with basic configuration in Germany and the range shown considers transmission (automatic or manual) and the different wheels and tyres available on the selected model and may vary during the configuration.

The values of the vehicles labelled with (*), are already based on the test cycle according to the new WLTP regulation and are translated back into NEDC-equivalent values in order to allow a comparison between vehicles. More information on the transition from NEDC to WLTP test procedures can be found here.

These figures are intended for comparison purposes and may not be representative of what a user achieves under usual driving conditions. For plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles the figures have been obtained using a combination of battery power and petrol fuel after the battery had been fully charged. Plug-in hybrid vehicles and battery electric vehicles require mains electricity for charging. The CO2 emissions labels are determined according to Directive 1999/94/EC and the Passenger Car (Fuel consumption and CO2 Emissions Information) Regulations 2001, as amended. They are based on the fuel consumption, CO2 values and energy consumptions according to the NEDC cycle.

A guide on fuel economy and CO2 emissions which contains data for all new passenger car models is available at any point of sale free of charge. For further information you can also visit this link.
