I actually haven't test-driven the 116i or 118i officially, although I have driven a friend's 116i auto down the road. It was a slow drive so I couldn't deduce much from the feeling or power of the car. But being a RWD BMW with a healthy dose of power and torque, it's understandable that the drive will be exceptional.
The 103, 105, &117 SS and I believe the 118 all have the same larger handle than the 102. I'll try and get a shot ot my CP 103 up in a day or three. I realize that probably didn't help you cause much. But the truth is. I don't think you can go wrong. But if you are processing a lot of venison the 103 and the 118 would be in the lead.
