BMW 328i Touring: four cylinder petrol engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology sets the benchmark for driving dynamics and efficiency.
In keeping with the dynamic overall theme of the new BMW 3 Series this innovative turbocharged engine offers plenty of power and performance responsive acceleration powerful torque, a high rpm ceiling and low weight. The cutting edge four-cylinder unit lays on unbeatable driving pleasure and also comes with lower fuel consumption and emissions than its predecessor The upgrade in power and efficiency is chiefly down to the use of BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, which works using innovative solutions such as High Precision Direct Petrol Injection twin-scroll turbocharging Double Vanos variable camshaft timing and Valvetronic variable valve timing. Added to which this engine has a particularly light and compact construction, thanks in part to its all aluminium crankcase. This has obvious benefits for driving dynamics the reduced load on the front axle gives the sporty BMW estate even greater agility and further improved steering and cornering characteristics
The 1,997 cc BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder engine generates maximum output of 180 kW/245 hp at 5,000 rpm. This petrol-powered unit uses Twin Scroll Turbo technology to maintain peak torque of 350 Nm 258 lb-ft from 1,250 rpm to 4,800 rpm. These statistics translate into unbridled dynamic performance the new BMW 328i Touring sprints from 0 to 100 km/h 62 mph in just 6.0 seconds on the way to an electronically governed top speed of 250 km/h 155 mph The engine responds instantly to every request from the driver for quicker progress and produces vigorous and almost linear power delivery from just above idle all the way into the higher reaches of the rev range
In the EU test cycle, the new BMW 328i Touring records average fuel consumption of only 6.8 litres per 100 kilometres 41.5 mpg allowing it to better the economy of the outgoing 160 kW/218 hp BMW 325i Touring by a full 10 per cent. The same applies to its CO2 emissions which come in at a suitably modest 159 grams per kilometre. Technical progress is equally in evidence with the new eight speed automatic transmission, which can claim an improvement of up to 11 per cent in fuel economy over its predecessor 6.5 litres / 43.4 mpg imp and 152 grams of CO2
BMW 320d Touring impressive torque exceptional smoothness and further improved economy
The new BMW 320d Touring is powered by the BMW TwinPower Turbo fourcylinder diesel engine from the equivalent outgoing model. The powerplant develops the same high output as before, but boasts improved economy and lower emissions. Also fitted with an aluminium crankcase the powerplant sets standards in various areas, and its common-rail direct injection and turbocharger with variable turbine geometry allow it to combine impressive punch with a further reduction in fuel consumption and emissions.
Out on the road the thermodynamically optimised turbocharging provides impressive power delivery throughout the rev range An electric actuator adjusts the turbine blades at split-second speed in response to changes in engine loads, enabling the unit to respond with the same lightning speed at low rpm as it does under full loads when the driver asks for full power Solenoid injectors supply the fuel to the cylinders at up to 2,000 bar, while high-precision fuel metering and high atomisation quality result in clean and homogeneous combustion
Unchanged maximum output of 135 kW/184 hp at 4,000 rpm and an imposing 380 Nm 280 lb-ft of torque available between 1,750 and 2,750 rpm create an extremely dynamic recipe in the new BMW 320d Touring and ensure it fulfils its sporty estate brief with diesel power as well. Performance is suitably brisk; the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph is dispatched in only 7.7 seconds, and this agile diesel variant can continue accelerating up to 230 km/h (143 mph
The new BMW 320d Touring's average fuel consumption of 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres 60.1 mpg in the EU test cycle and CO2 emissions of 124 grams per kilometre better the figures of its equally powerful predecessor by 2 per cent. And its advantage grows further still when the new eight-speed automatic transmission is specified: fuel economy remains the same at 4.6 l/100 km 61.4 mpg and CO2 emissions of 122 g/km represent an improvement of 10 per cent, allowing the new BMW 320d Touring to defend its position as a powerful and efficient performer fitted with one of the cleanest and most economical diesel engines available. Indeed fitted with the optional BluePerformance technology including a NOX storage catalytic converter the diesel unit already meets EU6 specifications.
Further engine variants to follow later this year BMW 320i Touring BMW 318d Touring and BMW 316d Touring
Towards the end of 2012 BMW will add another three engine variants already available for the 3-Series Sedan to the line-up for the new Touring All the engines are even cleaner and more economical than their respective predecessors For example the 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with TwinPower Turbo technology in the BMW 320i develops 135 kW/184 hp at 5,000 rpm and peak torque of 270 Nm 199 lb-ft from 1,250 rpm. High output and imposing torque are also signature features of the two turbodiesels which are derived from the same basic 2-litre engine as the new BMW 320d Touring The powerplant produces 105 kW/143 hp at 4,000 rpm under the bonnet of the BMW 318d Touring, while maximum torque of 320 Nm (236 lb-ft is available between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm The ultra-frugal BMW 316d Touring, meanwhile, generates its peak output of 85 kW/116 hp at 4,000 rpm and also allows the driver to enjoy the engine's maximum 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque between 1,750 and 2,500 rpm
Innovative eight-speed automatic transmission: standard on the BMW 330d Touring, optionally available for the other models.
Thanks to its additional ratios, the high-performance eight-speed automatic transmission combines shifting comfort, sporty performance and efficiency to an unprecedented level in an option as yet unavailable from any competitor in the premium estate segment. What's more, the automatic transmission is entirely in keeping with the all-round sporty concept of the new BMW 3-Series range.
A wide array of technical innovations and the exceptionally high internal efficiency of the eight-speed transmission mean that potent acceleration, fast mid-range sprints and further reduced fuel consumption are also achieved by this appreciably more powerful combination. Indeed, performance-minded drivers are catered for as well, having the option of playing a far more active role by changing gear manually. The potential of the new BMW 3-Series Touring can thus be exploited in more relaxed or more hands-on mode. On the road, balanced ratios mean the BMW 3-Series Touring boasts refined and powerful acceleration as well as smooth, fuel-efficient operation in the low rpm range. The bottom line is that the BMW 328i Touring and BMW 320d Touring with eight-speed automatic transmission achieve fuel consumption and emissions figures that are virtually identical to those of the six-speed manual models.
A sports automatic variant of the new eight-speed transmission is available as a further option for the new BMW 3-Series Touring. This unit offers even more dynamic shift characteristics as well as manual gear shifting via paddle shifts on the steering wheel. Alternatively, the petrol models also allow gear shifts using the electronic Quickshift selector lever on the centre console. Normal or Sport modes are activated via the Driving Experience Control switch.
Precision chassis engineering sets new standards: sporty handling, high agility and enhanced comfort.
In the latest model generation, too, driving dynamics rank among the stand-out attributes of the BMW 3-Series Touring. Playing a key role here is the carefullyhoned chassis technology that perfectly complements the winning formula of a longitudinally mounted engine, rear-wheel drive, a balanced axle load ratio and a torsionally stiff body. Here the engineers have managed to further improve the already outstanding handling characteristics, exceptional agility and steering precision of the predecessor model while noticeably boosting comfort at the same time. With a wheelbase of 2,810 millimetres 50 mm and a track of 1,543 millimetres at the front +37 mm and 1,583 millimetres at the rear 48 mm the new BMW 3-Series Touring hugs the road even more closely than its forerunner. Together with the weight-optimised powertrain and lightweight body design, this results in a perfectly balanced axle load ratio for maximum driving dynamics and stability.
