As for the engine, the 3-litre diesel is as powerful and frugal as you’d expect of a BMW. It will reach 62mph in 6.3sec, return 44.8mpg in the combined fuel-economy cycle and emit 166g/km of carbon dioxide, at a cost of £37,100. The version I drove, with the optional £1,495 eight-speed automatic gearbox, was more economical still, with even lower emissions. That will hit 60mph in 8sec, top 140mph, yet return 56.5mpg — that may look like a misprint but it’s not.
