Product Overview

BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo F34 is the ugly-duckling variant of the F30 3 Series in production from 2013 to 2016, whereupon it received a facelift. It is available with inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Unfortunately, this generation BMWs came with a long list of engines that had various long-term reliability issues, which are shared with the F30. They are also becoming difficult to work on, thanks to the regulators.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The F34 also comes with a high towing capacity.
Drivers who appreciate handling should keep in mind that the F34, like the F30, uses MacPherson front suspension, which doesn't provide the best cornering performance.
