About the BMW F30
The BMW F30 is the sixth generation of the 3 Series, launched for the 2012 model year and built from 2011 to 2019. It grew slightly over the E90 it replaced and moved to turbocharged engines across most of the range, including the efficient 320d diesel, the TwinPower four-cylinder 328i and the six-cylinder 335i. Equipment took a step up too, with the Driving Experience Control switch, electric power steering, and a more connected cabin centred on iDrive. The range even stretched to the 330e plug-in hybrid and the M3 (F80), which shared the F30 platform. Today it remains one of the most popular used 3 Series models, prized for its balance of comfort, technology and classic BMW driving feel.
