BMW 118d engine is as smooth as if you are riding a horse and its exterior is just splendid so that anyone who sees it would fall in love with BMW 118d.

Everyone wishes to drive a car which is efficient and stylish. And if you are wishing the same then before selecting a car, read this article once. I promise it will help you a lot in sorting out your problem.

And to be very honest, I am telling you that my vote is for BMW. It is a German luxurious vehicles manufacturing firm which is performing its duty stupendously round the globe.

Undoubtedly, this company gives tough time to Porsche, Audi, Ford and Mercedes. All the products are breath taking but my favor goes for BMW 1 Series and particularly for beautiful BMW 118d.

Engine of 118d

While focusing its engine more seriously, we realize that there are two strong engines used to cover the three variants that make up the 1-Series hatch variety that includes two variations of BMW’s brand new active 1.6-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, and the muscular 2.0-litre turbo-diesel that sits comfortably in our 118d test car.

For now, the 118d is the one and only diesel variant in a three-model hatchback series. The easy smooth-revving four-cylinder turbo diesel is merry enough, to spin out to its 5400rpm redline in a quite petrol-like way, but the meaty mid-range means there is never really any considerable need to maintain full throttle in the 118d except overtaking a B-Double on the freeway.

Uniform to the task of shifting our well-built 118d test car is the rapid-shifting eight-speed non manual (automatic) transmission, which is another first for the group. With so many gear ratios on offer, there is always enough of ‘go’ without the need for the uninterrupted transmission ‘hunt’ for the correct and accurate gear ratio.

The smart Stop/start technology is also standard to help upgrade consumption, though while it is fine only for short periods, but best is left deactivated, if you face somehow long periods in stop/start traffic, or you may find it overly obtrusive and downright irritating. Obviously, how fuel efficient you truly want to be depends utterly on your driving.

Mostly, you will find yourself switching between ‘Comfort’, ‘Eco Pro’ and ‘Sport’ driving modes, basing on road as well as traffic conditions at the time. Selecting ‘Eco Pro’ will lower down throttle response, besides more time consumed in the higher gear ratios for lower consumption of fuel.

In ‘Sport’ mode, throttle response is comprehensibly more aggressive, and shift points are extended enough before changing up. You can also pick to shift manually using the successional shift lever, but we found that if outclass performance is your priority then ‘Sport’ mode would be the perfect option.

BMW doesn’t claim that the monster 118d as a performance variant in the very same way it would, say, a charming 135i, or even the stylish 123d. But when it comes precisely to chassis dynamics and the perfect way this thing handles corners, the 118d is every bit the exemplary performer.

Conclusion:

To sum up, we can certainly say that the BMW 118d is one of the most elegant models of 1 Series. Its engine will give you fast pace, stupendous quality and unimaginable performance. So one must not ignore this at any cost.
