Series 3 and series 5 receive a less powerful plug-in version, with 204 hp, and therefore cheaper.
The rechargeable hybrid descends upmarket at BMW.After the 330th and 530th of 292 hp, as well as the 545th of 394 hp, here are the 320th and 520th of "only" 204 hp.An interesting proposal for those who want a more affordable connected BMW, especially since the performance remains at a good level.The 320th sedan thus goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and reaches 225 km/h.The 520th at the same maximum speed and goes from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds.In electric, the speed is limited to 140 km/h.
These models receive a four -cylinder 2.0 liters of 163 hp and an 83 kW electric motor for the 3 and 80 kW series on the 5 series, the maximum combined power being the same on the two vehicles, as is the maximum torque of 350 nm.These are propels, with 8 -speed automatic transmission.The 3 series exists with the XDRIVE all -wheel drive, but on the station wagon.
The 320th and 520th have a 12.0 kWh lithium-ion battery.According to the WLTP cycle, the 3 series is up to 59 km electric.For series 5, it's 57 km.It takes just over 3:30 to fill up on the battery with load 3.7 kW.
This battery is placed under the rear seat, but the trunk also suffers.Side 3 series, the volume falls to 375 liters for the sedan and 410 liters for the station wagon.Side 5 series, we have 410 liters in sedan and 430 liters in break.Also pay attention to the tank: it only makes 40 liters on the 3 series!
On the tariffs side, the decline is sensitive compared to the versions placed above.The 520th starts at € 52,650, against € 60,900 for the 530th.The 320th is from € 46,500, against € 51,450 for the 330th.The 320th can thus take advantage of the ecological bonus of € 2,000.
