Frequently asked questions

BMW 120d: 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 120d rank in its segment?#

Among the 145 compacts 2018–2022, the 120d ranks 25th of 138 in Combined consumption (4.6 L/100, behind the Bmw 216d Steptronic), 17th of 130 in Tank range (1087 km, behind the Bmw 216d Steptronic), 62th of 145 in 0–100 km/h (7.3 s, behind the Bmw M140i xDrive).

What is the range of the 120d?#

1087 km on a full tank (4.6 L/100 on the combined cycle) — 17th of 130 in autonomie du segment.

How much does the 120d 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 4.6 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 120d 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.
