How many cylinders does a BMW 320i have?

I’m doing some shopping for a used BMW and I’ve found a good deal on a 2018 BMW 320i. But I think I want something that has six cylinders—how many cylinders does a BMW 320i have?

Engine specs can be a little confusing to decipher—we’re happy to help! The BMW 320i has a four-cylinder engine. To be exact, it has a turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
The “inline” refers to the fact that the four cylinders are arranged in a straight line. The 2.0-liter is the engine’s displacement, which is the total combined volume of the cylinders and is a measurement of how much air can move through your engine.
The BMW 320i was capable of producing 180 horsepower and should provide ample driving fun. But if you gotta have six cylinders, a used
BMW 340i
might be something to investigate!
