More engine specs 
Pretty reliable engine with great resource. Overall, the chains are more reliable than in BMW  ...  This BMW 3 series 2.0 engine oil type is 0W-30, 5W-30 and oil capacity is 5 litres.

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.
According to user reviews, this BMW real everyday fuel consumption is 6.2 litres per 100 km, which is 32% more than the manufacturer's stated. More - Real BMW 3 series fuel consumption.

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.
Engine displacement 1995 cm3
Number of cylinders 4
Bore (cylinder diameter) 84 mm
Stroke length (piston move) 90 mm
Compression ratio 16.5 : 1
Camshaft drive Timing chain

Chain motors are considered more reliable, chain replacement usually is required less often than a timing belt, but they are often louder and vibrate more.

Fuel system Common Rail

Common rail fuel injection provides more engine power, is quieter, more environmentally friendly and offers better fuel economy, but is more expensive to maintain and repair.

BMW 320d xDrive oil type 0W-30, 5W-30
Oil capacity 5 litres (5.3 quarts)
Coolant capacity 7 litres (7.4 quarts)
Power 190 HP ON 4000 RPM
Torque 400 NM ON 1750 RPM
Start of production (year) 2014
Duration of production 10 years

Often in the first years of production, engines tend to have various constructive problems, so it is recommended to choose a car with this engine from 2017 onwards.

Engine also used on BMW 5 sērija BMW 1 sērija BMW X3 BMW 2 sērija and 3 other models

Generally, the use of an engine in several models and its long production run is an indication of the quality of the engine and the success of its design.
