BMW 3 Series (F30) 2011 - Front 3/4 view
Front 3/4

The first turbocharged-only 3 Series. The F30 embraced forced induction across the entire range, ending the naturally aspirated era that defined the nameplate.

History

The F30 was lighter than the E90 thanks to increased aluminum use, yet larger in every dimension. The 335i's N55 twin-scroll turbo six produced 306 hp with better fuel economy than the E90 330i it replaced.
