BMW 3 Series 320i 2.0 AT Base Equipment — Fourth Generation
The BMW 3 Series 320i 2.0 AT Base is looked at here through the everyday theme of travelling with passengers, and what sharing a car normally involves on regular trips.
4 generation · Sedan
Generation photo. Individual trim appearance may differ.
The highest speed a vehicle can sustain under manufacturer test conditions. Some cars are electronically limited below their mechanical potential. Glossary entry
216 km/h
Engine type
Gasoline
Transmission
Automatic
Type of boost?
A turbocharger or supercharger compresses the air entering the engine so a smaller engine can produce more power. Naturally aspirated engines draw air without a compressor. Glossary entry
No
Type of drive?
Which wheels receive power: front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. All-wheel drive can send power to every wheel for extra traction. Glossary entry
RWD
Bore and stroke?
The diameter of a cylinder (bore) and the distance the piston travels inside it (stroke). Together they determine the displacement of the engine. Glossary entry
80 × 66 mm
Engine capacity?
The total volume swept by all pistons inside the cylinders, usually stated in cubic centimetres or litres. Larger displacement often means more power but higher consumption. Glossary entry
1991 cm³
Engine location
Front, longitudinal
Number of gears?
How many fixed forward ratios a gearbox offers. More gears can improve economy and refinement; continuously variable transmissions have no fixed steps. Glossary entry
5
Maximum power?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
150 hp
Maximum power, kw?
A unit of engine or motor output. One metric horsepower is about 0.735 kilowatts. Peak power is normally reached at high engine speed. Glossary entry
110 kW
Compression ratio?
The ratio between the largest and smallest volume of a cylinder as the piston moves. Higher ratios improve efficiency but may require higher-octane fuel. Glossary entry
11
Maximum power rpm
5900 rpm
Maximum torque N⋅m
190 N⋅m
Maximum torque rpm
3500 rpm
Acceleration to 100?
The time a vehicle needs to reach 100 km/h from a standstill, a common shorthand for overall performance. Glossary entry
10.9 s
Engine power system
Distributed injection (multi-point)
Number of cylinders
6
Valves per cylinder?
The number of intake and exhaust valves in each cylinder. Four valves per cylinder is common and helps the engine breathe at higher speeds. Glossary entry

Comfort and Convenience
Cabin temperature is a familiar point of disagreement, because people differ in build, in what they are wearing and in how much they move during a journey. A setting that suits one seat can feel wrong in another.
Safety and Driver Assistance
It is worth taking a moment before setting off to find the lights, wipers, mirror adjusters and hazard switch. Working these out while stationary means less searching later, when attention is better spent on the road.
Multimedia and Connectivity
Phone batteries run down on longer trips, especially when navigation is left running throughout. If a charging point is available in the cabin, a device can be topped up along the way rather than rationed.
