Which fuel types does the BMW 518 come with?

The BMW 518 is available with just one fuel type, diesel. There are currently twelve cars available at an average price of £6,182.

Before you finalize your choice of fuel type, we suggest thoroughly evaluating your driving habits. How far do you usually drive in a standard week? Are your trips more often short ones, or do you tend to travel over long distances?

For short trips, range is rarely a limitation, so electric, plug-in hybrid or petrol can be fine. For longer daily journeys, consider an electric car, especially if you have the option to charge at home or at work. If you have a daily commute over longer distances, a modern electric car can be a great choice - especially if you have access to charging at home or at work. Despite the rise of electric cars, diesel can still be useful for long journeys and lack of charging options. Take into account that several countries restrict high-emission diesel engines from their city zones.

In which body types are the BMW 518 available?

The BMW 518 comes in two different body styles; sedan and stationcar, with the sedan as the preferred body style. The saloon's adaptable design serves a variety of purposes, from everyday commuting to extended trips, standing as an emblem of both sophistication and functionality in the motoring realm.
