BMW 320d xDrive has AWD (all wheel drive) (power is automatically distributed between the wheel axles) and automatic gearbox with 8 gears. BMW xDrive is a proactive all-wheel drive system without a center differential that engages before the vehicle becomes destabilized, unnoticed by the driver. Torque is distributed between the axles by an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in the transfer case. The clutch is partially locked at most times, distributing power to both axles in a 40/60 front/rear ratio, but the system is capable of sending 100% of the torque to either axle. At higher speeds or when parking, multi-plate clutch is disengaged and all power is transferred to the rear wheels. DSC system (Dynamic Stability Control) also brakes the wheels separately to regain traction and assist in cornering.
BMW 320d xDrive accelerates to speed 100 kilometres per hour in 7.3 seconds. The maximum speed of this car is 228 km/h.
The fuel consumption of this BMW 320d xDrive in combined mode (combining urban and highway driving) is 4.7 litres per 100km (21.3 km/l) - this is one of most fuel efficient BMW 3 sērija 2015 - 2018 versions, city fuel economy - 5.5 l/100km, fuel consumption on highway - 4.2 l/100km. Fuel tank capacity is 57 litres or 15.06 gallons, which gives a mileage up to 1200 kilometers without refueling in urban cycle and even up to 1340 kilometers on highway.

Engine reliability and common problems:
Pretty reliable engine with great resource. Overall, the chains are more reliable than in BMW N-series engines, but also tend to stretch under heavy use. The engine requires good quality fuel, maintenance and oil, otherwise problems with the common rail system can be expected. Problems are most commonly associated with the EGR valve and intake manifold.Overall, this engine can last around 210,000 to 360,000 km if properly maintained, using the correct quality oil and fuel, and carrying out regular checks and maintenance.
The engine has hydraulic valve tappets (lifters), which provide quieter operation and do not require periodic adjustment, but are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in the event of failure.
