There’s a bright spot for German diesels as BMW announced that their 320d EfficientDynamics has been certified to have passed all legal emission requirements. The findings were published by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA).

Klaus Fröhlich, member of the Board of Management of BMW AG responsible for Development, explained: “As a matter of principle, BMW Group vehicles are not manipulated and comply with all respective legal requirements. Our diesel engines are clean. The public and policymakers can rely on that – and, most of all, so can our customers and employees.”

These results serve as a bit of good news for German diesels which has been rocked once more by accusations of emissions cheating by other premium brands.

In a statement, BMW says: “The findings of the latest KBA tests once again confirm what has been repeatedly proven by numerous official reviews conducted by authorities worldwide—The BMW Group has no illegal activities or technical provisions of any kind that influence the test mode for recording emissions.”
