Английская Википедия:BMW 3/20
Шаблон:Infobox automobile The BMW 3/20 PS was the first BMW automobile designed entirely by BMW. It was manufactured from 1932 to 1934, replacing the 3/15 model that was initially an Austin 7 manufactured under licence from the Austin Motor Company.
The engine used in the 3/20 was based on the Austin Seven engine used in the 3/15, but its crankshaft ran in plain bearings instead of roller bearings and had an Шаблон:Convert stroke, generating a displacement of Шаблон:Convert.[1] The new engine design also had a water pump and an overhead valve cylinder head. These design changes caused the engine to generate 20 hp, but did not change the taxable horsepower rating of 3 PS, thus giving the model designation 3/20.[2]
The 3/20 was larger than the 3/15, with an Шаблон:Convert wheelbase and a body Шаблон:Convert lower than the 3/15.[2] The 3/20 used a backbone frame unrelated to the 3/15's Austin Seven "A" frame.[3][4] It inherited the 3/15 DA-4's independent front suspension and added a swing axle independent rear suspension, using a transverse leaf spring similar to that used at the front.[1][4] The standard bodies for the car were built by Daimler-Benz in Sindelfingen.[1][4]
Journalist and engineer Josef Ganz, who had criticized the 3/15 DA-4's suspension system in the magazine Motor-Kritik,[5] was contracted in July 1931 as a consultant in the design of the 3/20 AM-1.Шаблон:Citation needed
Four versions of the 3/20 were built: AM 1, AM 2, AM 3 and AM 4, where AM denoted Automobil München.[1]
