Hot deals: save thousands on BMW diesels

The stars of this week's best new-car deals are three powerful BMW diesels that use the company’s 25d engine.

Our favourite versions of the BMW 3 Series and 5 Series are the 20d models, which offer strong performance and low CO2 emissions. The extra punch of the 25d engine is more fun though, and CO2 emissions are still less than 130g/km.

If you want a 3 Series saloon that’s loaded with kit, you can buy the 325d in Luxury trim for £26,228 – a huge saving of £6847. It comes with leather upholstery, a multifunction leather steering wheel, parking sensors and automatic lights and wipers.

There’s also a great deal on the 325d Touring, which offers greater practicality. Buy the car in M Sport trim and you’ll save £6722, which means it costs £28,283.

For those who need an even bigger car, the BMW 5 Series Touring is our favourite large estate car. The 525d doesn’t cost a lot more than the 520d to run, and comes with dual-zone climate control, leather upholstery, sat-nav, and an electrically operated tailgate. Buy the 525d Touring SE from Drivethedeal.com and you’ll pay £31,730 – a saving of £7580.

If you’re looking for something cheaper and more practical than these BMWs, we’ve also found great deals on several MPVs. Ford’s S-Max 2.0 TDCi 140 Titanium is available with £3333 off, and the VW Touran 1.6 TDI 105 S has a saving of £4800.
