A new one, promising generation of three-cylinder engines has been announced by BMW which is expected to turn things upside down, from a mechanical point of view, with the philosophy and technologies they incorporate.
With the aim of putting it into production 2013, in models that he has not clarified yet, BMW presented a new, very promising, generation of low displacement engines, petrol and diesel. Their base concerns one 1,5 TwinPower turbo with variable load control, direct injection and Valvetronic (in the gasoline versions). The share of mechanical parts in percentage 60% between petrol and diesel engines, ensures significant savings, in development and production levels, according to BMW.
Each cylinder has a capacity of approx 500 κ.εκ. designed to ensure high thermodynamic performance and quietness, smooth operation. With the aim of minimizing vibrations, a special arrangement is used, which offers, according to the company's engineers, extremely layered mode.
