Well IMO, the gear change is fast and smooth, doesnt hesitate, i personally dont feel any power loss whatsoever.as i know tw forum mention that bmw enjin under rate the horse power to promote the gear box superior. all base on owner perform dyno run. ppl feel the power delivery good. will praise the gb. actually power loss is cover back by high hp Also personally i dont mind the gearbox lower its gear to engine brake, saves ur brake Never driven it during traffic though but i bet its smoother than dual clutch in traffic. One thing though, i drove the 118i 1.6 turbo, not the 1.5 3 pot.. |

QUOTE(ktek @ Dec 22 2016, 03:26 PM) Definitely not a car for power although it has decent executive looks. The dinosaur age 5 speed autobox & SOHC EFI (albeit with i-VTEC), seriously not in a place to fight with the 8 speed ZF & B38 engine with DI & turbo (despite being just a 1.5L 3 cylinder).Sometimes drivers tend to rely too much on the "feeling" during test drives & etc, especially when gauging performance. Most cars actually performs much better in reality vs the "feeling" it gaves you. Coupled with technical specs from the car manufacturer, one should not let the "feeling" to brainwash you otherwise.

You always can tune your 318i using racechip ultimate which is plug & play. Warranty & service is BMW current high point. In terms of safety, BMW is very detail in every aspect, not just about airbags & DTC. If you really want to talk about power, then ask yourself how high the probability for to drive like a crazy racer...
