Assessment
The BMW 1 serie 118i 136hp (1598cc) is a 1.6L naturally aspirated petrol engine producing 136 BHP and 220 Nm from the factory. With a typical Stage 1 remap, output increases to approximately 220 BHP and 310 Nm — a gain of around 84 BHP (62%) and 90 Nm (41%).
This engine has moderate remap suitability, with gains weighted towards peak power — the improvement is most noticeable at higher RPM. The tuning headroom is classified as high, based on the percentage gain available from the factory output.
From a technical perspective, the transmission is many variants use zf 8-speed automatic (where fitted); manuals also exist..
Considerations: Naturally aspirated engine: gains are usually limited; results vary widely.. Unusually high gain for NA engine: treat as an estimate and verify against the exact engine variant.. Large torque increase: drivetrain condition (clutch/gearbox) becomes more important at this level.
All figures shown are typical estimates based on aggregated Stage 1 data for this engine variant. Actual results depend on vehicle condition, mileage, and the chosen tuning method. We recommend discussing your specific vehicle with a qualified remap professional.
