Is this model and its variants ULEZ compliant?

Sadiq is going to impose the ULEZ zone very soon.

TFL has a tool, literally the first google hit. And one would like to think their own database is the one they will use...

Thanks for replies. TFL tool stated 'sorry system down' etc. The other website wants licence plates. When i entered one i had see on a picture in here, it didn't state whether it was ULEZ compliant. I did the same with my car (non Z) and it stated yay or nay.

Everyone pays the congestion charge.

Better to get it from the horse's mouth. I assume that you're considering buying, in the case it may vary between models, but it would be helpful to actually state what you're asking.

(My) 3.0si is not affected by any emissions charge, from the TFL site.

I am considering buying, have been for over a year. I like all the V6 models, but am curious about the 4 pot too. However it seems they are exempt after your post. I live on the soon to instated ULEZ border - literally meters away.

Even electric cars? That seems at odds with reducing congestion

Why? - if it's a congestion charge not an emissions/pollution charge. On average, an electric car takes up the same amount of space on the road as a petrol/diesel/lpg/chip fat/hydrogen/(insert other fuel) car

Drivers of petrol cars with engines that are compliant with Euro 4 emissions regulations, which were introduced in 2006, will escape the ULEZ charge.

Given an E85Z4M is euro 4 looks like all E85,E86 and E89 are ULEZ compliant

Just for reference there are no V6s - all BMW 6s are straight 6 engines!

But even my Z4M is ULEZ compliant so I can't see any E85/86s not being compliant - except maybe Alpinas? Anything Euro 4 is compliant for now - it should show on the 2nd page of the V5.

So now you just need to get one!

I was thinking the same.
I can only assume this is us

That’s right, but I’m thinking that increased congestion = increased pollution
