BMW 118d: 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 118d rank in its segment?

Among the 107 compacts 2019–2023, the 118d ranks 26th of 103 in Combined consumption (4.7 L/100, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 39th of 95 in Tank range (894 km, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 61th of 107 in 0–100 km/h (8.5 s, behind the BMW M2).

What is the range of the 118d?

894 km on a full tank (4.7 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 39th of 95 in Tank range.

How much does the 118d 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 4.7 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 118d 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.
