Sheer driving pleasure they say, is it all it’s cracked up to be as a slogan. We say yes, there is nothing like the feeling of pure engineering when you’re behind the wheel and BMW will rarely if ever disappoint, this week EFTM has a 116i Sport Line in the garage..
Make: BMW
Model: 116i
Variant: Sport Line
Engine / Transmission: 1.6l 4cyl
Vital Stats:
Fuel Economy: 220Nm torque, 100kW, 136 bhp
MRRP Price: $35,600 + $1,100 (Sport Line), + $620 (Convenience Pack) + $1,200 (Advanced parking Package), + $1,200 (Navigation System Business)
Standard Features:
Wow Factor: Small form factor BMW puts it closer to price range for many yet packs the same stunning ride and handling that BMW is known for
Most Impressive: The detailed and advanced rear parking camera and sensors are certainly impressive as is overall comfort and handling
Not so impressive: Quite frankly, the infotainment system is complex and just doesn’t need to be – BMW need to invest in some user interface design experts to make this a better experience.
