Is the F20 116i Auto underpowered.
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Also, any information about the average fuel consumption (Manual and Auto gearbox), would be appreciated. Many thanks. |

I have got a 116i Sport with the 8 speed auto box... No I find it totally fine as long as not driven in ECO PRO mode it kills the throttle way to much for the auto box.. In fact I was quote surprised how well it does actually drive as my previous car was a 523i auto.. For short distance or long it seems a very good setup, a massive improvment on the previous 1 series setup.. The MPG is around 40mpg after about 1500 miles... |

Many thanks for your reply. I saw your comment in Driving Profiles and noted you had a 116i Auto. This prompted me to join and ask my question in the hope that you and others would respond. I also noted that railbus at #1, in Driving Profiles, has a 116i with an unspecified gearbox so I hope that perhaps he can help me, if only to comment on fuel consumption, if his car is a Manual. |

It is fine...actually the 116i with the Auto feels much quicker (or briskier) than the manual one. I find the car perfectly fine, towards quick...and I am coming from a Z4 2.5si auto.

Having driven an automatic 116i several times, I must say that it does not feel underpowered at all.
I was surprised that it feels almost as fast as a manual 118i.
