But I agree that it doesn't make much sense to swap the 118d for the 116i.
The few times I ran on Zolder, Francochamps and NS I was seriously underwhelmed with the acceleration power after apex in fast turns of every car with less than 300hp I drove.

I remember that I was convinced that I blew the turbo on my Volvo S40 T4 back in 1999 on the NS, it felt so immensly slow and understeer! I was so disappointed that I sold it a few months later.
