BMW 116i: what you need to know

Well-argued answers to the most asked questions about this model, based on Caralogy data and simulations.

Where does the 116i rank in its segment?

Among the 138 compacts 2017–2021, the 116i ranks 88th of 134 in Combined consumption (6.0 L/100, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 68th of 128 in Tank range (867 km, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 126th of 138 in 0–100 km/h (10.9 s, behind the BMW M140i xDrive).

What is the range of the 116i?

867 km on a full tank (6.0 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 68th of 128 in Tank range.

How much does the 116i cost to run?

Running costs depend on your profile (mileage, charging type, city/highway mix). Use the Caralogy consumption simulator for a personalised estimate.

Why not a BMW 216d Steptronic instead?

The BMW 216d Steptronic leads in Combined consumption (3.9 L/100 vs 6.0 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 116i vs BMW 216d Steptronic duel for a detailed comparison.

How does Caralogy calculate its figures?

Caralogy does not reproduce manufacturer figures: we recalculate every number through physics simulation, starting from SCx, mass and the power curve. This is why our figures at 130 km/h differ from WLTP. Full methodology on the dedicated page.
