    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.

    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.

    I love my F30. The N55 motor is a fantastic platform and with a few upgrades, it’s good ole bulletproof fun. But, I have an e90 loaner while she gets an alignment and I must say, there is something magical about the old hydraulic power steering.

    My only problem with the f30 is the huge line separating the hood and the bumper right on top of the car made very obvious by brighter colors. Not a problem with darker colors tho. Other than that it’s a gorgeous car and full of sharp edges for more sport effect

    B58? Criminal miss here not mentioning it beyond name. They don’t call it the modern 2JZ just because it’s in a Supra… the 340i is the best F30 imo. All the high hp potential of the N54/N55 with substantially more reliability. My only complaint with the 340i is no factory LSD and it’s not as simple as bolting one in. The rest is just about as good as you can expect or want in a car at or even quite a bit above this price/segment.

    Just started financing for a 2015 335i m sport at 19, it’s fun and I love it when it’s actually working right, I do everything myself so it’s been pretty cheap to fix but if I wasn’t mechanically inclined I’d have been bankrupt within the first 2 months of owning it, I’ve had to do my oil filter housing gaskets, the transmission mechatronics, belt and tensioner and a crank seal as added relief because of the n55 failure that goes with the belt and crank, and lastly my oil pan gasket. In all it’s cost me around 700-800 give or take within the last 3 months of ownership and if I wasn’t doing it myself it would’ve been 5k+ at a shop. I wouldn’t recommend buying this car if you don’t have the money to support it or the ability to fix it yourself. I’d be putting out around 400whp if I wasn’t worried now about it not holding the beating I give it stock, regardless it’s a blast to drive stock but I will need more soon

    I still own my F30 330d M spec (because diesel was still a thing back then in Europe). Bigger intercooler and a tune to 320hp and 700 Nm (or 516 foot pound) of torque to the rear wheels. It's mineral grau with all black accents, the front splitter, carbon spoiler at the back, side skirts and diffuser (all original M performance). The ZF8 transmission is a dream and the car handles like a charm. In this setup it looks more aggressive than the new 3 series imho. The amount of torque can be a tad too much in the rain though, I mean if you're not really wanting to drift lol.
