Product Overview

BMW 3 Series Touring F31 is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2012 to 2015, whereupon it received a facelift. It was available with a range of inline-4 and inline-6 engines that displaced 1.6 to 3.0 liters.

Compared to the E91 generation, the F31 3 Series Touring started out with the same unreliable engines on the diesel side, namely N47D20 I4 and N57D30 I6. The petrol models used the troublesome N20B20 I4. Some models even used PSA engines found in the Peugeot 207 (called N13 by BMW). The slightly less bad was the N55B30 inline-6, which addressed some of the issues found in the N54, though it was only an updated version of the latter.

On the plus side, ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission replaced the weaker 6-speed unit. Overall, the pre-facelift F31 Touring had mediocre drivetrain reliability.

Unfortunately, the car still uses MacPherson strut front suspensions.
