MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 vs BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116
Over a standing quarter mile on dry asphalt the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 is the quicker car,
covering it in 15.52 s at
89.8 mph against the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116’s
16.86 s — a margin of
1.34 s. To 60 mph the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 takes
7.01 s and the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116
8.86 s.
Simulated, not measured — computed from each car’s published kerb mass,
rated power and drivetrain, then fitted to its own published acceleration figures.

Each car is trimmed to its own published figures —
2/2 for the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136,
2/2 for the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116 —
so a heavier car can still be the quicker one if that is what it tests.
Is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 or the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116 faster?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136. Over a standing quarter mile it runs 15.52 s to the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116's 16.86 s, a margin of 1.34 s, and it reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s against 8.86 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What is the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 0-60 time?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 reaches 60 mph in 7.01 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 15.52 s at 89.8 mph.
What is the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116 0-60 time?
The BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116 reaches 60 mph in 8.86 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. It covers the standing quarter mile in 16.86 s at 81.3 mph.
What trap speed does each car run?
The MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 trips the lights at 89.8 mph and the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116 at 81.3 mph at the end of the quarter mile. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every time on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. Each car is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it matches its own published acceleration figures — 2 of 2 for the MINI Hatch Cooper 1.5 136 and 2 of 2 for the BMW 1 Series (F20) 116d 116. Conditions are identical for both cars: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
