2 Answers
The imported BMW 118i model is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. The BMW 118i Import is a compact sedan launched under the BMW brand. 1. Model: The car's waistline design exudes a sense of power, and the high waistline provides ample space for rear passengers to enter and exit. The rear of the car features a completely new design, with horizontal lines making the new BMW 1 Series appear wider from the back, enhancing its sporty visual appeal. 1. Interior: The interior of the car continues BMW's signature family design, combining black plastic with silver aluminum panels. The dashboard is relatively simple and leans toward the driver's side, facilitating easy operation while driving. Each functional area has minimal buttons, making it easy even for beginners to familiarize themselves with the basic controls.
The BMW 118i currently uses a three-cylinder engine, specifically a 1.5-liter turbocharged one. I think this design is quite clever. Although the three-cylinder might have slightly more vibration compared to a four-cylinder in terms of sound, BMW has put effort into engine tuning and managed it well with anti-vibration technology. The power delivery is responsive, making acceleration in the city quite enjoyable. The turbocharging helps boost torque, so overtaking feels smooth without hesitation. Additionally, the three-cylinder layout makes the car lighter and improves fuel efficiency, with city commuting averaging around 6-7 liters per 100 kilometers, which is quite economical for someone like me who commutes daily. BMW's innovations in three-cylinder technology in recent years are commendable, and the cylinder deactivation feature further saves energy under light loads. However, it's important to keep up with regular maintenance, such as timely oil changes, to prolong the engine's lifespan. Overall, this is an efficient and practical choice, and driving it poses no major issues.
