should i upgrade or not?
I currently own a 118D sport and I’m interested in an 116i Msport but it would involve me part exing my car and paying out 5K ... is it worth it or should I just save my money? I can’t get a bigger engine due to insurance.
Thanks |

I don't think it would be worth it. They are not all that different.

I think unless you're going to go from the 118D to something at the other end of the scale then it's probably best waiting until you can afford something better. I almost did the same as you last year, going from my 116D M Sport to a 118i M Sport but am very glad I backed out of the idea. You never know how your situation will change. For me a year on I'm now fortunate enough to be two weeks away from picking up my M135i (bit more of an upgrade).

You're going to miss the surge of low-down torque which makes the car feel faster than it is. I would pick the 118d over the 116i if I had the choice between the two.
