Torque seems to be the same at 260Nm over the same band, but probably the end reduction of the transmission is longer on ED. The 80-100km/h show a difference of about 20%. No doubt I'd go for the 116D which will feel an entire unit stronger. The few deciliters/100km are even smaller in real driving conditions, maybe entirely wiped out even.

Have you considered the 118d? Same engine but less restricted, providing a sensible amount of extra push. Since I understand that the 116D was not really satisfying you either (so forget about the ED all togheter)?
