A masterpiece of engineering.

Straight six-cylinder petrol engine.

Lighter, faster, more powerful, more efficient: no other element of a car defines its character as much as its engine. The all-new straight six-cylinder petrol engine, constructed from a combination of magnesium and aluminium, sets new standards for dynamic engineering. It runs with a sophisticated smoothness that belies its massive power output: the powerplant in the BMW 330i releases up to 190 kW (258 bhp) on command.
