Hi all,

Does anyone know definitively on which of the G20 models are getting this as part of the summer updates?

I remember discussing the press release in another thread that stated numerous models across the BMW range were going to get this, but as far as I can see it's just the 320d and M340d that seems to get it, which was always the case anyway?

I've ordered a 320i and it's currently in production - the 520i gets MHT, so I'm hoping my 3 will too!

Cheers.

As far as I know, no 4 cylinder petrol G20/1 car will be mild hybrid, but I stand to be corrected.

I would have guessed that everything will get it bar the sixes.

Looking at the configurator, it's the 320d, 318d, and M340d that have it so far, but it seems odd if they're fitting the B48 in the 5 series and it has MHT, that they wouldn't just fit the same configuration to the 3 too.

I am sure I read somewhere that the M340i is getting it too?

That is what I believe, only the 4 cylinder petrol engines aren't getting it.

Very strange as OP says, if being added to LCI 5 series petrol, why not to 3 series?

My 330i, ordered early March, is due to be manufactured early Sep, so would like it, but pretty sure not getting it.

Sorry but what is it?

Yeah very odd - I bet it'll wait for the LCI for the petrols. Think we will both miss out.

It's a 48V (8bhp) electric motor that will do things like cutting the engine while coasting / crawling at low speed in traffic etc. Designed to increase economy / decrease CO2 emissions.

On the 5 series forum there are people reporting very strong economy on their 20d engines with this tech fitted.
