BMW New Class Engines and Transmissions

A representative BMW New Class engine here is the 1.8 gasoline unit in the sedan, paired with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. That powertrain suits relaxed commuting, while the rear-drive drivetrain keeps steering light and weight shared more evenly under braking and cornering.
