Pros & cons
BMW 223d
- Efficient for its class at 5.0 L/100 km combined.
- Strong safety ranking signal for added reassurance.
- Brisk acceleration (0–100 km/h in 6.5 s) for confident overtakes.
- Five seats and a 430 L trunk improve day‑to‑day usability for a coupe.
- Coupe body trades flexibility and rear access versus sedans and hatchbacks.
- Not aimed at cargo-heavy use despite the 430 L trunk.
- Diesel powertrain may be less appealing for short, stop‑start urban trips.
- If the absolute lowest purchase price is the priority, cheaper alternatives exist.

- Combined consumption of 10.4 L/100 km is not efficiency-focused
