1 Answers
The latest generation BMW 3 Series has discontinued the 3-cylinder engine, now equipped with 4-cylinder and 6-cylinder engines. The only model with a 3-cylinder engine was the sixth-generation 3 Series. The BMW 3 Series has been localized for the Chinese market, where all domestic versions essentially use 2.0-liter turbocharged engines. The domestic 3 Series employs three variants of this engine: a low-power version, a medium-power version, and a high-power version of the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Below are the specifications for these three engines: 1. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine delivers 156 horsepower and 250 Nm of maximum torque, with maximum power output at 4500-5600 rpm and peak torque available from 1250-4000 rpm. 2. The medium-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine produces 184 horsepower and 300 Nm of maximum torque, achieving maximum power at 5000-6000 rpm and peak torque between 1350-4000 rpm. 3. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine generates 258 horsepower and 400 Nm of maximum torque, reaching maximum power at 5000-6500 rpm and peak torque from 1550-4400 rpm.
