Is the BMW 320 a front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive car?
2 Answers
The BMW 320 is a rear-wheel drive car. The BMW 320 is an older model equipped with a low-power version of a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. This engine has a maximum power output of 115 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. It is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission. The BMW 320 is a sedan under the BMW brand, which is a German manufacturer of premium cars and motorcycles headquartered in Munich. The BMW 320 features a double-joint independent suspension at the front and a multi-link independent suspension at the rear. The car's dimensions are 4719 mm in length, 1827 mm in width, and 1459 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2961 mm.
I've always driven a BMW 320, which is typically rear-wheel drive (RWD), meaning the car is propelled forward by the rear wheels. I remember when I first bought the car, I specifically asked the salesperson to confirm it was the standard rear-drive version. This drivetrain setup gives the BMW 3 Series stable cornering and strong handling, with particularly precise steering response on the highway. If you see an xDrive badge on a 320, that indicates the all-wheel-drive (AWD) model, which is more suitable for cold regions or snowy roads. Generally, if there's no special designation, it's rear-wheel drive—this is a classic BMW design that enhances driving pleasure and balanced performance. When choosing a car, you need to check the specific model, but most people drive the regular 320 with RWD, which is part of BMW's traditional appeal. Maintenance is simpler compared to AWD, though you should be cautious about slipping in rain or snow.
