...316i 3 series? I am upgrading from a Ford Ka (1.3l) to a BMW 3 series (1.6l)

I was wondering how much difference i would find for any of the following..

1. Comfort
2. Driving handling
3. Power
4. Top speeds
5. Acceleration

Thanks!
 
Already answered - the BMW is just a different thing altogether.
Bear in mind, once again, gthat the 316i is the absolute basic model with the smallest engine, but it will be like a Rolls Royce in terms of comfort & a Porsche in terms of performance & handling compared to the Ka.
The 316i is much heavier, but is a second quicker to 60 & has a top speed of around 20mph more than the Ka (and you'd be pretty brave or stupid to find out the top speed of a Ka).
The BMW will also be far more reliable & cost less to maintain than the Ford.
 
1 no room in the footwell of a ka, very cramped too
2 on older ka's theres no power steering
3 bmw have far better fuel injection and power to weight ratio
4 ka 100mph(downhill) bmw- 125 and up depending on how well its tuned
5 imagine yourself(bmw) racing against a dog kennel (ka)
overall the bimmer is far better but also costs a lot more to run and repair also finding parking is far easier in a ka
