The wheelbase of the new 3 Series standard wheelbase version is 2851 mm, with length, width, and height measuring 4719 mm, 1827 mm, and 1459 mm respectively. The new BMW 3 Series is equipped with three engines: a low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, a medium-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. Below are the details of the BMW 3 Series: 1. The low-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 115 kW, a maximum torque of 250 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 4500 to 6500 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1250 to 4000 rpm. 2. The medium-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 135 kW, a maximum torque of 300 Nm, a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6000 rpm, and a maximum torque speed range of 1350 to 4000 rpm. 3. The high-power 2.0-liter turbocharged engine has a maximum power of 190 kW, a maximum torque of 400 Nm, and a maximum power speed range of 5000 to 6500 rpm.
I've driven several BMW 3 Series models, and last month I tried the new standard wheelbase version with a wheelbase of 2851mm. To be honest, as a young car enthusiast, what I care about most is the driving experience—this length makes the car particularly agile in turns, smooth when making U-turns, and crisp on mountain roads. The space is actually sufficient; putting a backpack in the back or taking friends on short trips is no problem. Compared to the long-wheelbase version, it's lighter, more fuel-efficient, and easier to park in one go. Personally, I think choosing the standard wheelbase is all about agility and fun, adding a lot to the driving pleasure.
I remember repairing quite a few BMW 3 Series, including the new standard wheelbase version, which has a fixed wheelbase of 2851mm. During routine maintenance, I found that the suspension tuning at this size is very balanced and less prone to alignment issues, with owners reporting precise steering. Although the long-wheelbase version offers more space, it has a wider turning radius and is more likely to scrape walls when driving in the city. As someone who relies on their hands for a living, I recommend choosing the standard wheelbase: it's more fuel-efficient, easier to maintain, the trunk is spacious enough for tools, and parking is much more convenient.
