BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo F34 LCI

Product Overview
BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo F34 LCI is the facelifted version of the F34 sedan, which itself is based on the F30 sedan. It was in production from 2016 to 2020 and was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 3.0 liters.
Owners will likely appreciate the fact the the newer B58 and B48 engines replaced the N55 and N20 units, which were known to come with a myriad of head-scratching issues. Still, these are highly complex engines with lots of plastic parts and rear-mounted timing chain (simplex at that) that demand lots of love and care.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it. The F34 LCI also comes with a high towing capacity.
Per usual, the F34 uses MacPherson strut suspensions at the front.
