System (HPS) New BMW 3 Series
Inline Six-Cylinder Engine This new engine features a number of pioneering technologies, including Valvetronic and an electronically controlled water pump that uses less power than conventional pumps, which contributes to the engine’s increased power output. And the new engine block, made of an advanced, lightweight composite magnesium/aluminum, increases the engine’s overall power-to-weight ratio. In the 325i, the new inline six-cylinder engine produces 215 hp, and propels the new 3 from 0-60 in a swift 6.7 seconds.* A three-stage induction system, different exhaust, and powertrain software results in a 255 hp output from this same engine in the 330i, which launches the car from 0-60 in a mere 6.1 seconds.* *BMW AG test results.
Actual acceleration results may vary depending on specification of vehicle;
road and environmental conditions testing procedures and driving style.
These results should be used for comparison only, and verification should
not be attempted on public roads. BMW urges you to obey all posted speed
limits and to please wear your safety belt at all times. As with its predecessors, the fifth generation BMW 3 Series raises the sport sedan benchmark - decisively and significantly. Continuing to improve a concept that BMW pioneered more than forty years ago, the new 3 Series offers greater performance, safety and security as well as greater comfort and convenience. Light-Weight Magnesium Crankcase The new 3 Series will enter the U.S. market in summer of 2005 (as a 2006 model) with a choice of two in-line 6-cylinder engines, continuing a 3 Series tradition. The all-new 3.0-liter unit in the 330i offers a significant increase in performance. It is rated at 255-horsepower (SAE), a 30-horsepower increase over its predecessor. In BMW's ongoing pursuit of weight reduction, this engine is the first in large-scale series production to use magnesium which, compared to aluminum, is 30 percent lighter. Magnesium is used in the crankcase, the crankshaft bearings and the cylinder head cover. This engine is also the first six-cylinder to use BMW Valvetronic. With infinitely variable valve lift in place of the traditional throttle butterfly, this system improves both throttle response and fuel efficiency. Like previous BMW engines which have incorporated Valvetronic, the gains are impressive. In the case of the 330i, horsepower increases by 13%, while fuel consumption decreases by 12%. This unique technology works in tandem with BMW's double-VANOS variable valve timing for both intake and exhaust camshafts. The new 330i will accelerate from 0 - 60 mph in approximately six seconds. Six-Speed Transmissions on Both Models Both models will be offered in the U.S. with a choice of a standard six-speed manual transmission or optional six-speed Steptronic automatic transmission. The benefits of a six-speed manual in terms of acceleration, cruising comfort and fuel efficiency have been demonstrated in the previous 330i. These same benefits have also been proven on other BMWs which offer the new six-speed Steptronic automatic. Those benefits will now be available to all 3 Series drivers. The 3 Series is the latest BMW to feature the convenience of a start button. After firing up the engine at the touch of a button, all other functions operate seamlessly. Handling and Agility Reflecting BMW's rich heritage, the new BMW 3 Series continues some long standing traditions - engine mounted longitudinally up front, drive power to the rear wheels and near perfect 50:50 balance of weight over the front and rear wheels. These have contributed to the 3 Series well-earned reputation as the best handling sports sedan on the market. Several enhancements will ensure that this new 3 Series lives up to its reputation. Like other BMWs, the new 3 Series gets a double-pivot front suspension for improved responsiveness. The newly developed suspension is made of aluminum to further improve responsiveness and comfort by reducing unsprung weight. The 3 Series Exterior The design of the new 3 Series is at once bold, dynamic and elegant. Positioned right in the epicenter of BMW's modern design spectrum, the 3 Series fits comfortably between the sportiness of the Z4 and the elegance of the 7 Series. Compared to the outgoing model, more generous exterior dimensions ensure even greater spaciousness and comfort for all passengers. At 178.0 inches, the length increases by 1.9 inches. The width at 71.5 inches increases by 3.1. Vehicle height is 55.9 inches, an increase of 0.24. The wheelbase is 1.4 inches longer at 108.7. Interior The new interior reflects the modern ambience seen in other recent BMW designs. The interior is more spacious and more luxurious for drivers and passengers alike. The driver is also offered an environment that is designed to enhance the driving experience. As before, an onboard navigation system will be available. In the new 3 Series the system will include BMW's iDrive control system for convenient operation. OUR TAKE ON THE BMW 3 SERIES: The new BMW 3-series follows the styling cues of its big brother, the BMW 5 series. Although this year BMW has only released the redesign in the sedan and wagon models, we are confident that a convertible, coupe and M3 will be hitting showrooms before the end of the year. The new 3 Series has all of the popular amenities found on its more expensive siblings but in a tight and more economical package. The BMW aims at a more youthful market and competes with the Mercedes Benz C Class, Audi A4, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS 350, Cadillac CTS, 2009 Audi A4 Also check out these BMW Vehicles: BMW 1 Series, BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, BMW M5, BMW M Roadster, BMW 7 Series, BMW 6 Series, BMW M6, BMW M3 RELATED ARTICLES, REVIEWS AND SITES:
