presence of the Vanos double variable valve timing system.
The continuous valve timing system Valvetronic is also taken over from the N46 family.

The novelty proposed by the N43 family is the direct injection power supply, called HPI ( High Precision Injection ), which ensures better combustion of the air / petrol mixture inside the combustion chambers.

The small N43 family consists of a 1.6-liter and a 2-liter version, the latter available in three power variants.
