BMW 3 Series Engines and Transmissions

BMW 3 Series engine choices span economical diesels, turbocharged gasoline units and electrified options. The 318d 2.0 MT in Estate 5-door form combines a diesel with a manual transmission and rear-wheel drive, while the 330i 2.0 AT xDrive Steptronic adds automatic shifting and an all-wheel-drive drivetrain for extra traction in poor weather.

BMW 3 Series Trims and Equipment

BMW 3 Series trim levels sit on top of the mechanical version rather than altering it. The 330e 2.0 AT Sedan, a rear-wheel-drive plug-in hybrid with an automatic gearbox, appears as Sport and Exclusive, which differ in styling details, interior materials and comfort equipment rather than in the powertrain itself.

BMW 3 Series Battery, Range, Charging

BMW 3 Series battery capacity in the plug-in hybrids comes from a lithium-ion pack, used by both the all-wheel-drive 330e xDrive 2.0 AT and the rear-wheel-drive 330e 2.0 AT in Estate 5-door form. Charging overnight at home keeps short daily trips mostly electric, with the engine covering longer journeys.
