BMW 118d (F20)

The BMW 118d (F20) reaches 60 mph in 8.04 s (100 km/h in 8.53 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 16.24 s, tripping the lights at 86.1 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s and the eighth mile in 10.46 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the 118d (F20)

The 2015 BMW 118d (F20) is a rear-drive turbodiesel car of 1,395 kg with 148 bhp, which works out at 106 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 106 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.46 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 6,600th quickest to 60 mph, and the 963rd quickest of the 1324 BMWs here. Its 86.1 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the BMW 118d (F20) 0-60 time?
The BMW 118d (F20) reaches 60 mph in 8.04 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 6,600th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the BMW 118d (F20) quarter mile time?
16.24 s at 86.1 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.46 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.46 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the BMW 118d (F20) have?
148 bhp and 1,395 kg, which is 106 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, turbodiesel, with 6 gears and a quoted top speed of 213 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the BMW 118d (F20)?
Closest here on pace: Ford Mondeo Hatchback 2.0 TDCi 163 (8.06 s), Peugeot RCZ 2.0 HDi 163 (8.06 s), Peugeot 208 XY 1.6 VTi 120 (8.10 s). Each one can be raced against the BMW 118d (F20) in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The BMW 118d (F20) is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
