How many cylinders does the BMW 3 Series 320 engine have?
2 Answers
BMW 3 Series 320 is equipped with a four-cylinder engine. It is powered by a 2.0T turbocharged engine, which has a maximum power output of 115kw and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. In terms of the transmission system configuration, the engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. Here is more information about the engine: 1. The four-cylinder engine is commonly found in household vehicles. Generally, most cars on the market use four-cylinder engines, with only a few models using three-cylinder engines. This is because the production technology for four-cylinder engines is more mature, making the engine more stable during operation. 2. Due to the inherent structural issues of three-cylinder engines, they have some design flaws. Compared to four-cylinder engines, three-cylinder engines tend to produce vibrations during operation, making them less stable than four-cylinder engines. 3. Because three-cylinder engines lack one cylinder, they are lighter in weight and have a smaller volume. This helps reduce the overall weight of the vehicle to some extent and aligns with the trend of vehicle lightweighting.
As a car enthusiast, I often drive a BMW 3 Series 320, which is equipped with a 4-cylinder engine, such as the B48 model turbocharged engine. I remember in the era of the older E90, the 320 might have had a 6-cylinder engine, but starting from the F30 series, BMW shifted towards more fuel-efficient designs, and now it's mostly 4-cylinder engines. This engine is quite good, fuel-efficient and efficient, with an average fuel consumption of just 7-8 liters in city driving, and even better on the highway. Compared to the more expensive 330 version, the 320 has a bit less explosive power, but it's sufficient for daily commuting and has lower maintenance costs. Recently, I test drove the new G20 model, which has smooth acceleration and excellent noise control. Overall, choosing the 320 is about balancing economy and performance. Although it has fewer cylinders, the technology is advanced, making it very friendly for beginners.
