PostHeaderIcon Is it true that BMW engines are not unleashed to their full potential?

Feb 03, 2011 by JAFOOLY | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs

I heard the office gossips talking about the BMW 118i M Sport and the engine being a detuned version of the two-litre Valvetronic powerplant ?

How can you tune it to go from a 1.8 to the full 2.0?

Thanks.

And

People always assume the 118i is a 1.8ltr, it is NOT. The 118i engine is in fact a 2 litre engine (well 1995cc) and it is in a low state of tune 143hp. Even the 116i uses the same 2ltr engine at 122hp.

The 120i is the same engine but tuned
