Toyota Auris 2007 vs BMW 1 series 2007
| Gearbox: | Manual | Manual | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 1.4 Petrol | 2.0 Diesel | |
| Petrol engines (Toyota Auris) are generally quieter, smoother, and better suited for short trips due to quicker warm-up times. Diesel (BMW 1 series) engines, on the other hand, offer superior fuel efficiency and torque, making them ideal for long-distance driving and heavy loads.

BMW 1 series is a more dynamic driving. Toyota Auris engine produces 46 HP less power than BMW 1 series, whereas torque is 170 NM less than BMW 1 series. Due to the lower power, Toyota Auris reaches 100 km/h speed 4 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | 6.9 | 4.5 | |
| Real fuel consumption: | 7.4 l/100km | 5.8 l/100km | |

The BMW 1 series is a better choice when it comes to fuel economy. By specification Toyota Auris consumes 2.4 litres more fuel per 100 km than the BMW 1 series, which means that if you drive 15,000 km in a year, the Toyota Auris could require 360 litres more fuel. By comparing actual fuel consumption based on user reports, Toyota Auris consumes 1.6 litres more fuel per 100 km than the BMW 1 series. | |||

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Front wheel drive (FWD) | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Toyota Auris) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 1 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 280'000 km | 350'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a BMW 1 series engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 18 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Toyota Corolla | Installed on at least 6 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija, BMW X3, BMW X1 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. BMW 1 series might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | no | yes | |
| The BMW 1 series engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
| BMW 1 sērija 2007 2.0 engine: The BMW N47 engine is sometimes called the worst BMW engine because of problems with the timing chain, which tends to stretch at 100 000 km. In addition, the engine has to be removed from the car to replace ... More about BMW 1 sērija 2007 2.0 engine | |||
