On average a 40% taxpayer driving a 318D will pay £120 a month actual cash to the HMRC.

The HMRC have a chart that links the emmisions to a % cost. I think that the 318D is based on 13% of the cars value and the 320d on 14%.

You could say that all I pay for a fully funded and maintained £29K BMW is £1440 per year. That includes all insurance and associated costs.

Cheap motoring!! Except I have only got 143BHP to play with.
