The 2022 BMW 3 Series is a petrol sedan with RWD and seating for 5. It belongs to the G20 generation. The 320i is the version described here, and the figures below refer to that configuration unless noted otherwise.
Performance
The featured 320i version develops 184 hp and 300 Nm (221 lb-ft) of torque. Its listed 0-100 km/h time is 7.1 seconds, which is responsive rather than outright performance-focused. Top speed is listed at 240 km/h (149 mph). Its power output is about 19% below the peer average. Its acceleration is close to the peer average. The figures establish its straight-line performance on paper, but they do not substitute for measured braking, handling or ride-quality tests.
Fuel economy and range
The listed fuel consumption is 6.9 L/100km. Fuel-tank capacity is 59.0 litres (15.6 US gallons). Recorded CO2 emissions are 157 g/km. Consumption, emissions and range can be measured under different regional procedures, so like-for-like comparisons should use the same market and test cycle.
Dimensions and practicality
Its exterior dimensions are 4,709 mm (185.4 in) in length, 1,827 mm (71.9 in) in width, and 1,435 mm (56.5 in) in height, while the wheelbase measures 2,851 mm (112.2 in). Cargo capacity is listed at 480 litres (17.0 cu ft), expanding to 1,290 litres (45.6 cu ft) with the rear seats folded. The cabin is configured for 5 occupants. Listed curb weight is 1,540 kg (3,395 lb). That cargo volume is about 5% above the peer average. The measurements are useful for comparison, although seat comfort, access and the shape of the load area still need to be judged in person.
The model range
The recorded line-up consists of 320i and M340i xDrive. Across the range, the specifications span 184 hp to 382 hp and 4.4 s to 7.1 s, while listed starting prices run from $42,300-$54,700. Drivetrain, battery or engine choice, wheels and market equipment can all change the final figures, so the version table should be used when choosing between them.
In perspective
Compared with nearby petrol sedan models from the same period, the 2022 BMW 3 Series does not separate itself through a single dominant headline figure, while power and price stand out as the principal numerical compromise. That conclusion is drawn from the recorded specifications rather than a road test. A final choice should also account for local pricing, equipment, comfort and a test drive.
