Yep, so you don't even get the advantage of economy with low power. It will have to be worked SO hard! The 116i does, it's bloody awful and it still doesn't move. When I had a 116i as a loaner for the day, I only got 33mpg (UK!!) because it has to be beaten to move anywhere and it was so reluctant to rev! I would go as far to say the 114i will be dangerous. Heavy car, very little power cannot get itself up to motorway speeds or navigate hilly roads easily. In my area especially, I would say this is dangerous.
Embarrassing!
