Singapore. BMW Asia today announced the arrival of the much anticipated, new BMW 320i in Singapore. Following the impressive BMW 328i, the top four-cylinder model launched earlier in March, the new BMW 320i will be the second model to be powered by the new-generation 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.Powered by BMW TwinPower Turbo technology, the new four-cylinder engine has enabled the new BMW 320i with an all-round improvement against its predecessor. It now develops a maximum of 184 hp at 5,000 rpm (+8%) and peak torque of 270 Nm at just 1,250 – 4,500 rpm (+22%). With an 8-speed sport automatic transmission, it can further sprint from naught to 100km/h in just 7.6 seconds, which is 2.2 seconds faster than before. The new BMW 320i is also highly efficient and friendly to the environment with a fuel consumption rating of just 6.0 litres/100km (+8%) and CO2 emissions of 139 g/km (+7%), thanks to Efficient Dynamics.“As the world’s best-selling premium car, the BMW 3 Series has traditionally been a key volume model for BMW. With the improved sporting prowess, elegance, comfort and looks, this sixth generation BMW 3 Series is set to take the world by storm once again,” said Mr Neil Fiorentinos, Managing Director of BMW Group Asia.The new BMW 3 Series Sedan
ynamic capability, efficiency and comfortThe pioneering history of the BMW 3 Series serves as an inspiration for the new sports sedan, whose powerful styling represents a fresh interpretation and conscientious development of traditional BMW design cues. The new BMW face, with flat headlights reaching along as far as the BMW kidney grille, emphasizes the elegantly dynamic design of the new BMW 3 Series. The sixth generation of the 3 Series has grown in size compared to its predecessor, with its wide track (front +37mm, rear + 48mm) particularly prominent, and the car’s increased length (+93 mm) and augmented wheelbase (+50mm) also accentuate its sporting silhouette. Inside the new BMW 3 Series Sedan, the noticeable increase in space benefits the rear passengers above all. The new BMW 320i presents the car with exclusive, high-quality material combinations and unbeatable build quality underlining the premium ambience of the new range.Drive and chassis technology have always been key areas of expertise for the brand, and agility and driving dynamics remain outstanding attributes of the new BMW 3 Series Sedan. The new car belies its larger dimensions with a kerb weight 20 kg below that of its predecessor. In addition to the sports performance typical of the brand, the further enhanced levels of comfort on board the new 3 Series make a significant contribution to driving pleasure.BMW EfficientDynamicsBMW is the first carmaker to offer an eight-speed automatic gearbox in the premium mid-size segment. It links up with the Auto Start-Stop function that comes as standard. Compact and exceptionally efficient, it allows the new BMW 3 Series to match or outperform models fitted with the six-speed manual gearbox in terms of both fuel economy and emissions. The new eight-speed automatic brings together shift comfort, dynamic performance and efficiency of the highest order, making it the perfect partner for the new sedan’s dynamic potential.As components of the BMW EfficientDynamics technology line-up, the Auto Start-Stop function, Brake Energy Regeneration, and need-based operation of ancillary components also play their part in reducing fuel consumption. Added to which, the new Driving Experience Control switch not only offers Comfort, Sport and Sport + options, but also ECO PRO mode, which gives all the models in the range the potential to further improve fuel economy. This switch helps to influence the style of driving and enables drivers with maximum fuel economy.Intelligent lightweight design brings further reduction in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.The use of lightweight materials play a significant role in reducing the weight of the new BMW 3 Series and in delivering high passenger cell safety standards, combined with a significant increase in strength. At the same time, these measures also help to ensure superior driving dynamics. Intelligent lightweight design is integrated into all areas of BMW vehicle development work and into all components, from the body and engine to the suspension. Materials used include high and ultra-high tensile steels, a hot-stamped B-pillar, plastics and state-of-the-art composites. There is also increased usage of aluminium components in the engine and suspension systems to further reduce the weight of the relevant assemblies.“The timely arrival of the new BMW 320i in Singapore serves to enhance our existing portfolio of the BMW 328i and BMW 335i, by enabling us to reach out to an even wider audience than before,” added Mr Fiorentinos.The BMW 320i comes standard with the; 17-inch multi-spoke wheels, Park Distance Control (rear), electrically adjustable seats; and Hands-free facility with USB interface, Sport Automatic Transmission with gear shift paddles, Cruise control with braking function, Comfort access, Navigation System Professional on a 8.8 inch display, 12GB memory, and Internet connectivity*.The new BMW 320i is now available for viewing at Performance Motors’ showrooms.Source: BMW Asia
