Did BMW adjust M3/4 CO2 emission numbers for 2018 models?
Maybe I'm late to finding out about this, but I was looking for the ground clearance numbers when I saw this:
https://www.bmw.ch/fr/bmw-nouvelles-...ues.html#tab-0 The updated emissions of CO2 went up from 204 [194] g/km to 227 [213] g/km. It's the same on the German configurator I wonder why that is... (steel shaft, particulate filter, number fudging before?) FYI, here anything above 200 g/km would get a 50% penalty on the yearly tax that you pay. I was quite happy that the M4 was below that line.

I'd bet something that the figures are even higher than the base model.

I'd assume for most manufacturers its a case of setting priority of your volume and ££ business. Thus VAG might have got all their main stream models ahead in the queue. Tiny side note, I've had an F82 previously and actually achieved 29/30 MPG (UK based Gallons) thus if that's the official rating now....very impressive figures from BMW, well done. These WLTP figures for me (long Motorway commute at times) will be very accurate and achievable. #mindblown

If anything, I would be guessing the changes stated in the EU relate to the particulate filter. I remember reading that they had to slightly increase boost pressure to maintain the power rating with the GPF. If that is the case, this implies more fuel consumed and more CO2 emissions.

I'm happy that I got my car last year though (given the drive shaft update, particulate filter and updated CO2 levels)
