Engine Options For The BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 series has become one of the most popular production
automobile lines ever produced. Since its inception, the BMW 3 series
lineup has taken the world by storm with its pronounced style,
elegance, and unsurpassed driving experience. Since the original E21 3
series body style released in May of 1975, BMW has designed numerous
body style changes and engine upgrades with one goal in mind: To
uphold the tradition that has made the 3 series cars the most
sought-after in the world.The 2010 BMW 3 series models (coded E90 and
E92 by the designers in Munich) feature the traditional Inline-6
cylinder engine that has been a staple of the 3 series from the start.
However, unlike previous 3 series body styles, the 3.0L engine is
common among all of the variants of the car. This includes the newly
re-offered 328i, as well as the new and ferocious 335i. In previous
models, the 328i would have been fitted with a 2.8L engine, and the
335i with a 3.5L engine. To reduce costs and improve the commonality
of parts, BMW has changed to an all-3.0L fleet.Have no fear: This 3.0L
Inline-6 packs quite the punch for those looking to have a little bit
of fun with their cars. Those who opt for the 335i model of the car
will be taking the reins of a 300 horsepower monster. This engine is
tuned for torque, with its 300 ft/lbs of torque being found at 1400
RPM. Those interested in the understated 328i model will find its 230
horsepower more than sufficient on the open road. With 200 ft/lbs of
torque found at 2750 RPM, passing is a breeze.With BMW's 3.0L Inline-6
in front of you, you'll be enjoying your 2010 BMW 3 series car for
years to come.
