So You Want A BMW F30 3 Series

Over the decades, BMW has never shied away from change, especially when it comes down to looks. The F30/F31 has grown in all dimensions compared to its predecessor. The styling is similar to previous generations with a sweeping bonnet, short front overhang, and long wheelbase. But is it worth owning? What kind of reliability or power capabilities will be in your hands? Today Alex sits down to talk about what it might be like to own an F30 BMW.

A word of advice. If you hear a scraping sound only while accelerating, its the parking brake clip located above the drive shaft. Easy job without getting scammed by the dealership. :)

The dual circle headlights of the 2012-2015 were the absolute best headlight design that BMW has ever produced. When those angry eyes showed up in your rear view mirror you thought, “That’s a BMW coming up, I better move over”. They were so recognizable as BMW.

The 340 f30 is worlds better than the 335. The b58 is a fantastic engine, easier to work on and easier to make power. Mine is over 600hp with a downpipe, big turbo, upgraded high pressure fuel pump and a tune. Fantastic engine

[davidobright]

About a year ago I got an f30 328i and man have I fallen in love with that car. This video has made me so glad to see, and all of us f30 people need to stick together. I think one of the best communities is the bmw community and how we all stick together and love each other’s cars and have respect for how each other modify them. Cant wait to do more to mine and love seeing everyone show love toward theirs.

[Jdad]

This made me appreciate my car so much more. Been eyeballing the F80 M3 but I think I'm gonna hold tight for a little bit more. Currently stage 2 FBO and it's a blast to drive (335i).

[ProductionsLTD]

My F30 LCI never fails to put a smile on my face after a long day of dealing with idiots! May have the B47 Diesel engine but hey, good mileage and one tank of fuel a month 🙌

[Michael-rptc]

I’m surprised he didn’t go in depth on the B58 motor considering stock turbo cars with e85 and an updated HPFP are slaying muscle cars left and right.

[PaintedLycan]

I've never clicked on a video so FAST. I love my F30 340i and the ESRs I bought from you guys and put on it made me love it even more!

[car-enthusiast]

So you want a lotus exige s. Day 184.




Can’t wait to hear you Guys saying *so you want a lotus exige s*

[kingchief]

Me watching this waiting for them to talk about the 340i

[ethanero]

as the proud owner of an F30 335i, thank you. I was beginning to feel like all anyone would ever acknowledge is the e9x platform and now I feel seen

[dakodaruhf]

As a mechanic at a bmw shop the F chassis cars are very nice. My favorite is the F80 m3. Perfect car perfect engine. BUT as an e36 owner. No new bmw will ever beat the older bmws. Love the channel and the website keep it up boys 👌🤌👍

[kingsaidso]

I have the F30 320i 2013 man what a car. I will never buy anything but BMW from now on

[corbingrimes]

I have a 2014 F30 335i xdrive, all I have on it is an ecu CAI. The car is bulletproof, and definitely underrated on power.

[rexlor]

Dad bought a first model year F34 335, and I bought it off him last year. Phenomenal car and gets my drums from one gig to the next faster than ever before. Only downside is its got quite a bit of road noise that they took care of the next year.

[Lenticular]

I'm an F23 owner and I love my topless German.

[aldorodriguez]

My guy completely skipped the 340i with the super tune friendly B58. Simple tune e85, and Downpipe gets you into the 11s in the 1/4 mile.

[jamesbrandt]

When we don’t talk about the b58🤨 it’s literally better than n55 in every way imaginable. Do a video on all b58 motor cars pls

[Orcedify]

My 2014 335 is my favorite car I have owned by far. Amazing car, cheap upgrades, and tunes, super reliable!

[Bacon_E]

I might have taken some of your “if you want to feel connected to your car and the ground go buy a 35 year old car” advice and got a 30 year old e30 last week lol.
