2013 BMW 320i - Car and Driver
The quintessential sports sedan is becoming a bit more accessible: BMW is adding the entry-level 320i to its portfolio for 2013. Priced from $33,445 and driven by a 2. 0-liter turbocharged four, the 320i sacrifices power, but still comes in a... While the engine makes 240 horsepower and 255 lb-ft of torque in the 328i, the 320i is rated at 180 horsepower at 5000 rpm, and produces 200 lb-ft of torque from 1250 rpm. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is an additional $2000. Judging from our experience in Europe, the lower-grade N20 is a pleasant if somewhat unremarkable engine. By contrast, BMW estimates the 320i will take 7. 1 seconds to reach 60 mph, regardless of transmission type, and is governed at 130 mph, or a yet-undisclosed velocity when equipped with performance tires. Estimated fuel economy for the manual is 22 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway. With the automatic, fuel economy is estimated at 23/33. Aiding the fight to increase mileage is a standard stop-start function and an Eco Pro setting—which can be selected in addition to the Comfort and Sport settings. 17-inch aluminum wheels are standard, with 18-inch rims part of the optional Sport package.
