So the 116i is slightly faster than BMW says.

The peak figures on the 116i don't seem that great but when you have a look at the power and torque "curves" it's easy to see why they feel so strong on the road.
Maximum torque is available at any point between 1350rpm and 4300rpm. The engine is producing maximum power by 4400 rpm and keeps producing maximum power until 6500rpm.
The 116i and 118i are exactly the same engine, the 116i has a slightly different exhaust front section but the ECU is basically capping the power lower.
If you want to look at the curves for the 116i have a look through the 1 Series 3 door f21 press release, page 33.
