Product Overview

BMW 3 Series Touring F31 LCI is a compact executive station wagon in production from 2015 to 2019. It was available with a range of inline-3, inline-4, and inline-6 engines that displaced 1.5 to 3.0 liters.
Compared to the pre-facelift model, the F31 LCI almost completely replaced the engine lineup: The much improved B48 and B58 petrol engines and B47 and B57 diesel engines with closed deck design replaced the horrible N20, N55, B47, and N57 engines. The result is much improved reliability and somewhat higher power output.
The crown jewel is the B58B30 3.0L I6 that was co-developed with Toyota. Tuners are already singing praises for this engine, and it definitely is the one to get. The B57 is also a much more solid engine, if diesel is desired.
The car also got some exterior updates to bring it inline with more modern BMW styling.
BMW has made a good effort in aerodynamics, with a decent 0.28 coefficient of drag to show for it.
