Is BMW Brilliance x1 a three-cylinder engine?

In fact, as early as the launch of this three-cylinder x1, it has been questioned by countless people for countless times. For example, the famous joke: Your family has three jars. Although it is obvious that competitors did it, it also catered to the doubts and concerns of the people who ate melons, and it spread widely. And the name "the boy who shakes his legs". To tell the truth, I also watch and laugh once.

the focus of doubt is nothing more than that this kind of three-cylinder machine, as its name implies, will shake when it is not balanced. First, there will be noise; Second, it will make driving comfort worse; Third, of course, the displacement of the three cylinders is smaller than that of the four cylinders, and the power will be worse.

objectively speaking, these three points are objective.

firstly, the ignition sequence of a three-cylinder engine is 1-3-2, which is not as good as that of a four-cylinder and six-cylinder multi-cylinder engine. Although they can't achieve absolute balance to offset jitter, the problem of three-cylinder engine is more obvious. Of course, with the development of technology, such as smaller engine, shorter crankshaft and better nvh control technology, the noise and jitter of the three cylinders will be reduced to the lowest possible level. However, it can never be compared with the quietness of four cylinders and six cylinders.

second, there is jitter and noise, and the comfort naturally deteriorates. Today's cars pay great attention to comfort, so you must do your best to deal with this noise and jitter. It cannot be completely eliminated. Now there is a technology called active noise reduction, which is to actively emit sound waves to offset the noise. I just don't know if the three-cylinder BMW has ever been used.

thirdly, the dynamic performance is certainly worse than that of a four-cylinder six-cylinder system. However, if compared with the past, the speed, power and economy of turbine intervention are much better, and the problem will not be too big when dragging x1.

but don't forget, BMW is a luxury car, and luxury is the most important thing. Comfort is certainly better; BMW has been boasting about its handling, and motivation is the premise of this handling. Since BMW doesn't care about this, it is because there is something more important to get, that is, the dividend brought by the brand premium needs to be harvested. To tell the truth, in a few years, after China's cars go global, where do we need this three-cylinder luxury car?

However, BMW's luxury, real luxury, should not be at this entry level, at least the three series is the most classic. China people want to save face, they like to spend a lot of money on this entry-level product, and they are willing to fight for it, needless to say.

In recent years, BMW's sales in China have increased rapidly, and the problem of quick success and instant benefit is obvious. Reduce costs and increase profits. BMW is not the original BMW.
