Hi does 3 cylinder engine have less power, makes more noise, vibrate more and have a shorter life time.compared to a 4 cylinder engine with the same cubic centimetre capacity?
Thanks

Yes, it will vibrate more (and probably be noisier too)- it's naturally harder to balance a 3cyl compared to 4cyl. But lifetime is not necessarily shorter - it depends on lots of other things.

Maybe you need to post it on general automotive talk forum: https://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=36
