Does the new 3 Series still have a three-cylinder engine?

[TuckerLynn]

The new 3 Series does not have a three-cylinder engine. Below is some knowledge about three-cylinder engines. Three-cylinder engines have low fuel consumption: Due to their structural advantages, three-cylinder engines excel in fuel consumption control. Their compact size results in higher power density and greater thermal efficiency. The inherent design of three-cylinder engines leads to lower pumping losses, and their smaller size reduces friction losses during operation, which also minimizes heat dissipation losses. Three-cylinder engines offer strong power: Within the 1.0L-1.5L displacement range, three-cylinder engines have larger single-cylinder displacement compared to four-cylinder engines of the same displacement, resulting in better low-speed torque. Fewer cylinders mean less mechanical friction, and increasing the number of cylinders can reduce single-cylinder efficiency. Three-cylinder engines provide faster power response and superior performance compared to four-cylinder engines.
