2018 BMW 116D DRIVING POV/REVIEW // TOO SLOW?

[@cptfruitbag9630]

Love my 118d its a comfortable amount of power and its great on fuel, cheap to run and insure at 21 too! Would highly recommend

[@eknight1804]

I got that engine as well, really good, tho I regret not going for the 120d... I think that was the sweetest spot...

[@dopeaf1377]

@@eknight1804 same for me, the 118d has a great engine but the 40 horsepower extra would be perfect. Sometimes i wish i had the 120d acceleration, absolutely no shame on the 118d though

[@la535lhx]

I have this exact model but mine is manual never knew they did the 116d in automatic but although manual still a nice car to drive.👍

[@Parker989]

I got a 125i, and it’s a real pleasure to drive. 😊

[@jm1004]

I’ve got the 116d msport shadow 68 plate n I’ve got to be honest I absolutely love the car comfortable to drive even on long journeys good on fuel also use it everyday and on average I’ll only have to put in around £20 every week and a half I know it’s only 116bhp but honestly feels like it’s more unless it’s just me don’t get me wrong it would definitely be a lot funner having that extra bit bhp that the 116i or 118i does but this is perfectly fine in my opinion on the bypass in 6th gear there is definitely a lot of power loss in the manual which can be pretty annoying

Watching it before taking one of those on a lease. Wonderfull test drive Paragon! 😍

[@lloydgriffiths1847]

The need for winter tyres or capable all- season tyres, goes beyond just how much snow or ice is potentially on the ground. It’s about temperature too. In any conditions below 7 degrees, summer tyres are objectively dangerous, affecting stopping distances and grip. Same is true for the opposite, winter tyres are just as dangerous in the summer. From what I can tell it doesn’t matter the power of the car or which wheels are driven. Watching enough comparison videos on summer vs winter tyres in winter conditions should be enough for people to either use all seasons or splash out and have two sets of tyres. I absolutely love these videos, one of my favourite pov driving channels and I hate potentially coming off as a bit of a “keyboard warrior” but this is vehicle safety we’re talking about and the UK seems pretty lazy about it.

Nice review, got a lexus ct200h but need a second car, could do with some fun dropping off the kids to skool 😂

[@rhyslam5617]

Great video, please can you do a video of the 120i or 125i for this same gen?

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

they’re quite rare but will add to the list 👍

Try out m140i that won’t be slow that’s for sure 👌

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

No doubt. Can’t beat a B58 😏

[@S1B58]

Should try the manual version of this

[@hassanazeem3012]

Can you do a bmw 320d manual estate

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

If we get one i'll review it. Manual estates are rare though.

[@InteriorDesignAnderson]

How does it compare to the CT200h. I’m looking into the CT200h but worried I’d get bored !

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

The 116d is a lot more fun, the lexus is more relaxing.

[@harviepugh5495]

you did say when you reviewed the 118i not to ger the 116 do you stll not recomend it

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

The 116i i wouldn’t recommend, the 116d does seem to be quick enough though.

[@XxGreedyMagiiCxX]

The preface lift if I’m not mistaken is the same engine as 120d just smaller injectors and a different map, if you map a 116d you’ll probably be more than happy with the pace of the car

[@harviepugh5495]

@@XxGreedyMagiiCxX is it actuallly same engine or is it just the same litre

[@mishancheg]

​@ᴍᴀɢɪɪᴄ 116d is 3 cylinders and 118-120d 4 cylinders

[@piovo1]

@@harviepugh5495preface lift is the exact same engine but like Magic said the 16/18d have smaller injectors and turbo then the 20d but for the facelift like in this car the 16d is a 3 cylinder and the rest are 4cylinder so different engines.

[@jackducker3259]

114i for a 17 year old good? Gonna get one for a first car

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

It’ll do but try and get a 118i if you can. Got enough punch to have fun then.

[@chrisk4132]

Does the 118i feel much faster than the 116d?

[@wmfootball5288]

i’ve had a 1.6Litre 118i and i’ve currently got a 1.5Litre 116d… I would honestly say that the power is very similar. Happy to answer more questions

[@ParagonCarsLondon]

the 118i did 8.77 seconds on our 30-70 sprint, the 116d did 11.06. Quite a big difference

[@user-rm9rq5fe5p]

Is it faster if you use petrol instead of diesel😅

[@BIG2hats]

Diesel has slightly more torque

[@totalmadnesman]

Who configured an 116d, with a M-Paket? xDD

Thats slow, my F40 116d does 0-60 under 9 seconds
