What does F30 mean for BMW?
The F30 is the first generation of the 3 Series to be powered by a range of turbocharged engines exclusively and electric power steering (replacing the hydraulic power steering systems used previously). The F30 also marked the 3 Series’ first use of a three-cylinder engine in its 2015 facelift. The F30 was available in the U. S. AWD and RWD. As for transmissions, the F30 used either a ZF 8-speed auto or 6-speed manual.
