Feedback from 116D auto drivers wanted please!!! Bit of a dilemma.

Hi all,

Was hoping to get some feed back from any 116D auto owners out there.

Basically I am due to pick a new company car and have the choice of F21 116D Sport with auto gearbox and professional media or F21/F20 118D sport with only auto gearbox.

I currently drive merc clc 180k 5 speed auto which has approximate 140 bhp and 0-60 of 10 seconds. Therefore 116D auto is about same 0-60 time and slightly less bhp, but with a more modern 8 speed box, more torque, less weight (??) and sports button am hoping that the BMW will feel as quick if not quicker.

Like the idea of the pro media as drive approximatley 32k miles a year and live traffic on sat nav would be good. Also thought it would make the cabin a bit special and a nice place to sit.

Please feel free to share your feed back if you drive a 116D auto and if not feel free to share your opinion on my dilemma.
