|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.0 Petrol | 2.0 Petrol | |
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |

Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | Rear wheel drive (RWD) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Front-wheel drive cars (Hyundai i30) have better traction on slippery roads and when climbing hills, better fuel economy, and are less expensive to purchase. On the disadvantage side, FWD cars usually have less towing capacity, poorer acceleration and harder handling. Rear-wheel drive cars (BMW 1 series) have better handling on dry roads, better acceleration, more even weight distribution and more fun to drive. RWD is also better for towing large loads. The cons of rear-wheel drive are less interior and trunk space and more difficulty maneuvering in wet and snowy conditions. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 400'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used, but under equal conditions the average life of a Hyundai i30 engine could be longer. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 6 years | 11 years | |
| Engine spread: | Installed on at least 2 other car models, including BMW 5 sērija, BMW 3 sērija | Installed on at least 7 other car models, including Kia Sportage, Kia Ceed, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Tucson, Hyundai Elantra | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Hyundai i30 might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
| Hydraulic tappets: | yes | no | |
| The BMW 1 series engine has hydraulic tappets (lifters), providing quieter operation and no need for periodic adjustment, but they are more complex in design and can cause serious engine damage in case of failure. | |||
