Here we are folks, back with some updated information concerning some details with the powertrain that the 2016 BMW 3-Series will fit under the hood. We previously stated that the 340i, the official replacement of the 335i model, will come with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine under the hood, developing a good 326 horsepower.

We have also found out that the 2016 BMW 3-Series would come with a wide array of three- and four-cylinder engines, fitted under the hood of the entire 3-Series lineup. All of them will be based on the newly straight-six engine B58, which replaces the N55 one used on the former 335i. The B58 will be also used under the 320i, 328i or the 328d, with the carmaker also launching the 330e plug-in hybrid model.

Also, we have already made an idea on the kind of power the BMW 340i will have. This version will make use of its 326 horsepower and 447 Nm of torque, hooked to an 8-speed automatic transmission. This means that the BMW 340i will reach 100 km/h in just 4.8 seconds, at a topping, limited at 250 km/h.

On the other hand, the 2016 BMW 3-Series is also to receive the expected 330e plug-in hybrid version, reports stating 250 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque for the four-cylinder engine, which is quite enough to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a good 6.1 seconds. The engine will be backed by an electric motor that should be able to provide the version with a good 22 range mile. A video with famous 3-Series, which is beautifully showcasing 40 years of its existence on the market, has been also launched. Enjoy!

BMW likes to test their models in rough environments, the upcoming BMW 3-Series plug-in hybrid being also one of them. The icy roads and the freezing temperatures seemed to cause no problems for the hybrid model, a car that is powered by a 2.0-liter petrol unit as well as an electric motor.

According to the current details, power output is estimated at 245 horses and 400 Nm of torque. Considering that we talk about a hybrid model, we should expect quite good fuel economy figures.

Current assumptions point to an average of just 2 liters/100 km with CO2 emissions of 50 km/h. The lithium-ion battery will provide a zero-emission driving range of 35 kilometers.

However, when driving on electricity only, the top speed is limited at 120 km/h. In terms of styling, the new model will sport revised bumpers and a tweaked front grille.

Until we get more details on the upcoming BMW 3-Series plug-in hybrid, be sure to check the spy images above and below.

The hybrid will come with a four-cylinder unit, backed by an electric motor, which will develop an overall 245 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
