BMW has built a reputation in the industry as not only a luxury brand but also a brand that manufactures good performance vehicles. All these are established thanks to the German marque’s dedication to providing the best driving experience through its award-winning engines.
The engines fitted in BMW vehicles are relatively small in displacement as compared to competitors. BMW shared that the reason for this is because smaller engines provide better fuel efficiency ratings. These engines are backed by turbochargers to bring in more power when needed.

With that in mind, BMW owners get to drive a vehicle that provides both efficiency and performance. BMW also manufactures both gasoline and diesel engines to meet the demand of various customers all around the world.
Here in the country, the BMW 1 Series hatchback and BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe are both powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine that is boosted by a BMW TwinPower turbocharger. These two vehicles are ideal for those who wish to daily drive a BMW due to its optimal fuel consumption.
The BMW Z4 is available locally in either a 2.0-liter or 3.0-liter gasoline engine
A bigger 2.0-liter gasoline engine with the same BMW TwinPower turbocharger is installed in the BMW 3 Series, 5 Series, and 7 Series sedans. The power output of the engine ranges from 156 to 374 hp and 250 to 620 Nm of torque, depending on the variant.
As for the BMW’s Sport Activity Vehicles (SAVs), they are powered by either a 2.0-liter or a 3.0-liter diesel engine with BMW TwinPower Turbo. The diesel engine helps pack more power, especially when driving up to the country’s mountainous areas.
BMW’s local M lineup, the division that covers the brand’s performance vehicles, consists of the BMW M2 Competition that is powered by a 3.0-liter 6-cylinder gasoline BMW TwinPower Turbo engine and the BMW X5 M Competition that is powered by a 4.4-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo V8 engine.
