The 1.5L Turbocharged DOHC 3-cylinder that powers the BMW 2 Series Turbo and the 127-kW Electric Motor that powers the BMW i3 were both recently named to the 10 Best Engines of 2015 list put out by WardsAuto. This officially makes BMW the only automaker to have two engines included on this year’s list.

Editors from WardsAuto evaluated 37 different nominees in order to put the list together. In order to do so, eight editors drive the different models around on their daily commutes evaluating characteristics such as power, vibration, relative competitiveness, observed fuel economy, technology, torque, harshness and noise.

At the North American International Auto Show, a ceremony will be held in January 14, 2015 during which the awards will be officially presented.
