2 Answers
BMW 3 Series has a 4-cylinder engine, which is equipped with a 2.0T inline 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. The fuel supply method is direct injection, with a maximum horsepower of 156ps, a maximum power of 115kw, and a maximum torque of 250nm. It is matched with an 8-speed automatic manual transmission. Taking the 2021 BMW 3 Series as an example, it belongs to the mid-size car category. The body dimensions are: length 4719mm, width 1827mm, height 1459mm, wheelbase 2851mm, front track 1543mm, rear track 1583mm, fuel tank capacity 59l, and curb weight 1555kg.
As a car enthusiast, I'm quite familiar with the BMW 3 Series, which indeed offers 4-cylinder models. I've personally driven several variants, such as the recent G20 generation 330i equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine delivering 248 horsepower—both fuel-efficient and performance-stable. Older generations like the E46 or E90 also had 4-cylinder options, ideal for daily commuting. In contrast, BMW offers 6-cylinder versions like the 340i, but the 4-cylinder is more economical and practical, especially common in new car pricing or the used car market. Another advantage of choosing a 4-cylinder is lower maintenance costs without the high fuel consumption of larger engines, offering smooth driving experiences suitable for both city streets and highways. I recommend test-driving one to experience its precise steering pleasure.
