Looking for a pocket-friendly efficient car? Don’t miss the chance

BMW is a distinguished automotive corporation which is popular for developing luxury-cum-sports cars. Its ground-breaking ceremony was held in 1916 and since then it has kept the bar high. Being twelfth biggest manufacturer of vehicles in the world, BMW has sold nearly 3 million vehicles to date. The 1 Series is basically an entry-level car range by BMW but the word ‘entry level’ may give you an impression of low-quality cars, however, the reality is on the contrary side. The BMW 1 series, by no means, less than any of its contemporary or rival range of cars. Therefore, there is a reason why BMW 1 series has garnered a lot of recognition all over the world.

The BMW 116i

Engines to be proud of

Hiding under the bonnet of this beauty is a beast, known as a 134bhp 1.6-litre twin-turbocharged petrol engine. This direct-injection based machine emits 132g/km CO2 and in return gives 49.6mpg fuel economy. This engine produces very smooth ride mated with the spread of torque. You can also go for a more powerful 170bhp variant of petrol en gine, or conversely, equip your car with one of the two diesel engines. A new addition in this engine range is of an ultra-frugal engine based on efficient dynamics, offering a tax-free emission rate of 99g/km. Nevertheless, the Eco-Pro mode dampens the throttle response to some extent and confines the use of air-conditioning and heated seats. BMW thinks that this practice is capable of improving fuel economy by 20 per cent. Unfortunately, if you fell into a bad situation where you face severe issues by your engine there is no need to be worried at all as BMW 116i reconditioned engines are always available in form of replacement engine from best engine repairing workshops all over the world.
