I was originally looking at getting a 118d M Sport to replace my 2007/57 118d SE which was stolen just before Christmas.
I achieved 53mpg in that therefore would expect the same in another 118d.
However, as I am only covering approx 12k per year (just shy of 10,000 miles communte) I have been contemplating opting for the 116i.
The 116i M Sport is £1960 cheaper than the 118d M Sport and I would be looking at getting it on the 4 year, 4.9% PCP deal. Is this what you have opted for?
I have done some quick maths on the mpg's and basically if the 116i can achieve 42mpg as opposed to 53mpg in the 118d, it will cost me £1288 more in fuel over 4 years (48k) but I would still be £672 up. Obviously the 116i is more to tax also but still not going to be down on the 118d.
My only concern is the resale value of the 116i due to it being the cheapest engine. I am also slightly concerned about the mid-range pull of the 116i knowing that the 118d pulled like a train.
How did it feel to you?
Cheers
