BMW 128ti: 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 128ti rank in its segment?

Among the 107 compacts 2019–2023, the 128ti ranks 78th of 103 in Combined consumption (6.4 L/100, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 64th of 95 in Tank range (781 km, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 25th of 107 in 0–100 km/h (6.1 s, behind the BMW M2).

What is the range of the 128ti?

781 km on a full tank (6.4 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 64th of 95 in Tank range.

How much does the 128ti 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 6.4 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 128ti 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.
