The new BMW TwinPower Turbo 3-cylinder offers character-specific benefits: running smoothness, revving power, spontaneous response and a dynamic, sporty sound. Since there are no first and second-order inertia forces, it offers an especially high level of comfort in terms of noise and vibration. The level of roll torque is lower than that of a 4-cylinder and is compensated for by a single counterbalance shaft. Among other things, this helps keep the engine extremely smooth-running in the low engine speed range, too. Synchronous electric motor:
additional power without emissions. |

ECO PRO mode also provides the
driver with valuable advice. To this end, this system is linked to the
navigation system. Based on the calculated route data and the driver's
individual style of driving, ECO PRO mode is able to indicate how to reach
a given destination with the lowest level of fuel consumption, for
example. The preview assistant gives the driver tips such as "Remove foot
from accelerator" if a tight bend or speed limit is approaching which the
driver cannot even see yet. The preview assistant can take into account
such features as bends, built-up areas, roundabouts, T junctions and
motorway exits. At the same time, an anticipatory transmission assistant
optimises the electronic transmission control system for imminent
situations. |
