Could anyone please tell me what BlueTEC HYBRID and Blue Efficiency mean and the pros and cons of those ? Are those better than BMWs Efficient Dynamics ? Common faults they undergo ? Maintenance criteria ?
Thanks

I think you finally got a hit on a potentially technical question :-) – DucatiKiller Jan 27 '16 at 7:11

@DucatiKiller hahahah !! yeah yeah !!! (Y) – Dulith De Costa Jan 27 '16 at 9:26

This question seems very broad. You seem to have three distinct questions that could stand on their own with a little more detail. – JPhi1618 Jan 27 '16 at 14:13
BlueEFFICIENCY
As Mercedes-Benz claims, it reduces fuel consumption by up to 12.1%, without a performance drop. They also claim that it is environment-friendly (Consume less fuel and emit less CO2) They are achieving these by doing:
- Reducing car's weight
- Lower aerodynamic drag
- Smart dynamo
- Fraction resisted tyres
- Transmission suggestion monitor
- Fuel-save gear ratio
- Engine start-stop rest state in traffic
BlueTEC
A better and newer version of BlueEFFICIENCY again by MB.
you can see comparison of 2011:
S350 CDI BlueEFF vs S350 BlueTEC
2987cc - 2987cc
235hp +8.50% 255hp
540Nm +7.00% 580Nm
37.2 mpg +13.0% 42.2 mpg
199 g/km -11.0% 178 g/km
so you can see the power & performance increase, fuel economy and reduced CO2.
EfficientDynamics
BMW version of Mercedes-Benz BlueTEC.
I won't be listing additionally because they are nearly the same but here is a picture which shows the ED specs
Summary
Increased performance, better fuel economy and less CO2.
I was a BMW E46 3.20i user, and now I have got a BMW F30 3.20i
Thinking about it and there is too much improvement in technical specs between 2 cars. I believe it will continue to improve drastically with the developing technology.
I am very happy with my car so the difference is real :) As for MB, I am not a fan of it, but I am sure (and most people say) BMW and MB are similar and in competition with each other so you can expect the same outcome.
