Frequently asked questions

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 108 compacts 2019–2023, the 116i ranks 48th of 103 in Combined consumption (5.8 L/100, behind the Bmw 216d Steptronic), 76th of 95 in Tank range (724 km, behind the Bmw 216d Steptronic), 93th of 108 in 0–100 km/h (10.6 s, behind the BMW M2).

What is the range of the 116i?#

724 km on a full tank (5.8 L/100 on the combined cycle) — 76th of 95 in autonomie du segment.

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 5.8 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.
