[XCAR test drive original]
Frankly speaking, I didn’t expect much when I heard that the 2017 BMW 3 Series was a small modified model of the year. Because according to the general law of small model changes, it is nothing more than changing the details and upgrading the configuration. However, it is a bit unexpected that the 2017 BMW 3 Series has updated the power system. In addition, in this change, the M-type sports kit is carried on more models, and the BMW 3 Series is equipped with a natural speech recognition system for the first time. These changes have made this change of BMW 3 Series appear sincere.
The core change of the 2017 BMW 3 Series is that the engine has been changed from the previous N series engine to the B series engine. Among them, the old N13 series 1.6T engine was replaced by B38 series 1.5T engine; N20 series 2.0T engine is replaced by B48 series 2.0T engine (the power parameters of high-power version are slightly improved); N55 series 3.0T engine is replaced by B58 series 3.0T engine.
After replacing the brand-new B-series engine, the 2017 BMW 3 Series has also made some adjustments in its naming. Among them, the model names of 316i and 316Li were changed to 318i and 318Li, the model names of 328i and 328Li were changed to 330i and 330Li, and the model names of 335i on imported models were changed to 340i.
The appearance of the 2017 BMW 3 Series basically continues the old design, but some details have been upgraded. For example, the popular M-type sports kit has a higher popularity on the models. In particular, the M sports model was added for the first time on the 320Li long wheelbase version; The exhaust of 320i and 320Li have also been upgraded to the current single-sided double-output, and the 320Li model has also introduced a four-wheel drive version equipped with xDrive four-wheel drive system.
