BMW 218i: 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 218i rank in its segment?
Among the 143 compacts 2018–2022, the 218i ranks 113th of 137 in Combined consumption (7.0 L/100, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 98th of 130 in Tank range (743 km, behind the BMW 216d Steptronic), 98th of 143 in 0–100 km/h (8.8 s, behind the BMW M140i xDrive).
What is the range of the 218i?
743 km on a full tank (7.0 L/100 on the combined cycle) - 98th of 130 in autonomie du segment.
How much does the 218i 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 7.0 L/100). The choice depends on your priorities: check the 218i 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.
