Is BMW 318i fast car?
Truth be told, the 318i is, to put it euphemistically, fairly sedate performance-wise. The zero to 100km/hr dash takes 8.4 seconds, and while there’s a decent 250Nm on offer, you’ll really have to wring the engine’s neck to extract any sort of speed from it.

Should you buy a BMW 318i?
At first glance, the 318i appears to be a somewhat odd choice to buy in the face of another car in the BMW stable: the 218i Gran Coupe.

How about an all-electric BMW, made in China?
How good is the 318i’s turbo motor?

But satisfying the performance and refinement demands of executive saloon buyers is quite another matter, and that’s the challenge here.
Is the 218i Gran Coupe M Sport cheaper than the 318i?
Plus, the 218i Gran Coupe M Sport is nearly $30k cheaper. How about an all-electric BMW, made in China? That’s before you see the cars side by side though, or drive them.

Is the Citroen 318i fast?
Well, it’s certainly not fast. As with most three-cylinder-engined cars the 318i’s initial throttle response is somewhat tardy, and even when serving up maximum torque (162lb ft between 1250 and 4000rpm) acceleration never feels any more special than BMW’s 8.9-second 0-62mph time would suggest. But the engine’s lazy disposition has its merits.
