Advanced Engineering is the Heart of the BMW Brand

BMW cars like the 2016 BMW 320i are some of the most capable vehicles on the road, offering a one-of-a-kind driving experience respected by auto enthusiasts the world over. But what is it about these incredible vehicles that set them apart? It all comes down to advanced engineering.

One of the most impressive feats achieved by the engineers at BMW is the near-perfect 50/50 weight balance that is standard across the line. That’s what gives every single BMW model that renowned road-hugging agility. Suspension geometry is improved thanks to Active Roll Stabilization, an active suspension control system that reduces body roll while cornering. And thanks to a fully independent suspension at all four wheels, every BMW car, truck, and SUV achieves optimal stability and smoothness.

BMW vehicles are also light on their feet thanks to an aluminum suspension system. The aluminum front suspension improves ride quality and handling by reducing unsprung weight, while the aluminum rear subframe, links, and moving parts help reduce overall vehicle weight. The lightweight BMW chassis, made of 85 percent high-strength steel, provides strength without increasing weight.

The BMW brand’s focus on advanced engineering extends all the way down to the ground. Every BMW vehicle sits on high-performance alloy wheels. Sized generously with diameters of at least 16 inches to maintain maximum rubber on the road, these wheels are strong, weight-efficient, and styled to complement each BMW model. Looking under the hood, BMW Valvetronic technology replaces the conventional throttle butterfly to allow your BMW engine to breathe freely, enhancing fuel economy and performance.

The benefits of advanced engineering are evident throughout the BMW line, including the models that make up the BMW 3 Series. To learn more about what goes in to every BMW vehicle, head over to Fields BMW Lakeland near Brandon, FL.
