Same engine with the 330i, but with less horses

While the new BMW 320i may share its 2.0-litre B48 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with the 330i, the cheaper model makes do with less power – 184 PS from 5,000 rpm to 6,000 rpm and 300 Nm from 1,350 rpm till 4,000 rpm (258 PS, 400 Nm in the 330i).

Looks similar to the 330i, doesn't it?

Just like the 330i, the new 320i gets an 8-speed automatic helps deploy all those Bavarian horses to the rear wheels.

The decrease in power is also reflected in the 0-100 km/h time – the 320i completes the century sprint in 7.1 seconds, as opposed to the 330i's 5.8 seconds.

Tamer-looking than the 330i

Visually, what sets the new BMW 320i apart from its pricier sibling are tamer-looking front and rear bumpers and 18-inch style 780 Bicolor alloy wheels.

The 330i's full digital instrument cluster is replaced by analogue dials on the 320i. We won't miss the unnecessarily cluttered Live Cockpit Pro.

Inside, the RM 45,000 in savings are more apparent – out goes the fancy looking but cluttered 12.3-inch Live Cockpit Pro digital instrument cluster, replaced by a traditional, but easier-to-read analogue dials.

The same goes for the infotainment system, as the cheaper BMW 320i gets an 8.8-inch touchscreen head unit running on BMW Operating System 6.0, instead of the 330i’s OS 7.0.
