BMW 320: classic and reliability

This car captivates with its Bavarian quality even though the traditional motor is performed in a "gasoline" interpretation. But the new BMW 320 diesel does not cause any complaints. Well, except that quite a bit.

Pros of BMW 320 diesel

It's always better to start with positive moments, and the car is famous for them. The volume of the engine in the diesel BMW of the third series is equal to two liters (2.0 liters), while the power reaches 163 horsepower. This is a decent figure for a sedan of unsportsmanlike class. Although there is hardly a hitch in the number of horses - here, rather, the quality of the assembly and the metal from which the motor is made is important. Quiet work, as the mechanics would say, "clean" - the engine responds with a barely perceptible depression of the pedal. Already in the lower reaches there is a good response, and on three or four thousand revolutions, the diesel engine does at all smoothly, but it explodes.

But no hint of noise: in addition to good sound insulation in the cabin of BMW 320, the engine on the diesel engine amazes with its silence of motion. All this complex is equipped with excellent body control and very impressive fuel consumption. In a good sense: 10 liters per 100 km / h - in fact with a fast ride.

In the cabin, the driver's seat has a comfortable driving, the shape of the steering wheel is more than ergonomic. As for the suspension, it is easily heard at any speed and at any turning radius. Experts say that the BMW 320 model is almost the leader of manageability in its extensive class family - but everything is known in comparison. Then we pass to the minus.

Disadvantages of the BMW 320

Let's start with the most significant, although it was worth putting it in the end. But the BMW 320 reviews form, coming from its value: a fairly simple sedan on a diesel engine costs about 34 thousand euros for a basic package. Accordingly, for the best version will have to lay out more than 40 thousand.

In appearance, the car does not cause warm emotions at all, at best, indifference. The axial rear part differs sharply from the smooth transmission, the interior is made in gloomy-gray tones (the backs of the front seats are completely sheathed with plastic), the instrument panel does not differ anything attractive. For example, the radio tape recorder at all smells of the nineties, there are no lights for the mirrors of the driver and passenger and some other little things that the developers of the concern seemed to always pay attention to. Although the dashboard is quite simple in the design development.

Let someone take it to say that the BMW 320 is a car for serious people, conservatives who, above all, value German quality. Like, "bloat and gadgets" are superfluous. Unless the automatic box is seen as a decrease in the hierarchy of the status of the model. But it works in tandem with the engine and saves fuel. And in the conditions of the modern market this demand comes to the fore.

Briefly summing up, I want to put the third BMW solid 4 with a plus, especially pleases the ratio of running characteristics and economical engine. This car is suitable for confident businessmen - traveling on city roads and going on a business trip on it is one complete pleasure and a raising of the image.
