Let's summarize the dynamic performance. To be fair, I think all the things that a three-cylinder engine can't run are "slapping its head", not so weak. Its power level ensures that you won't suffer losses in city driving, and you have a quick start response and a fast acceleration ability in the middle. Of course, after all, strength is limited, and strength cannot be very strong. When running at high speed, I'm afraid I can't catch up with you as much as I can. My stamina is a little insufficient, so I'd better be honest when running at high speed.
Good control is BMW's consistent selling point. How about sedan 1 system control? If I say yes, will you think I'm talking nonsense? Can precursor control be good? Who says front-wheel drive control can't be good? Compared with the rear-drive hatchback 1 series, the steering wheel directivity of the sedan 1 series is also more accurate. When turning, the car body has strong follow-up, sufficient suspension support, and the dynamic performance of the whole car is flexible and controllable. You know, sedan 1 series and MINI are all products of BMW UKL platform, and the suspension structure is the same, but the adjustment is slightly softer, not as hard as MINI.
Compared with my hatchback 1 series, the hatchback 1 series is not inferior in daily driving flexibility and maneuverability except that it cannot drift on wet ground. However, the steering wheel of 1 series cars lacks some "advanced sense", and you can obviously feel that "electric power assist" is playing a role, and "electronic flavor" is too strong.
At this point, I still think the hatchback 1 system is better. Although it is also electronic power-assisted, it can simulate a quite realistic feel of hydraulic power-assisted, which is very uniform and full of toughness. Series 3 is also such an experience. This may be the difference in adjustment between the front drive platform and the rear drive platform.
Write at the end: how to evaluate sedan 1 series three-cylinder engines?
Finally, I intend to end this article with Zhihu-style grammar. How to evaluate sedan 1 series three-cylinder engines? This car has two major breakthroughs. The first is the precursor; The second is a three-cylinder engine. In the eyes of spectators, this is against the sky. But from the perspective of "curative effect depends on ingredients", there is no doubt that the sedan 1 series is a dynamic sedan and the cheapest BMW you can buy.
If you choose to drive a BMW at the same time with very little money, then the car 1 series will undoubtedly give you a chance. This option was not available before. I think this is also the reason why BMW risked being questioned to launch the sedan 1 series. There is nothing wrong with taking whatever you want.
