Sporty, classic, and future-oriented: the introduction of the BMW F30 on October 14th, 2011, at the BMW plant in Munich reveals the innovative paths Bayerische Motoren Werke has explored with the sixth version of the BMW 3 Series. The BMW F30's striking appearance is based on the current BMW design line. The BMW 3 Series thus looks sportier and more dynamic than ever. For the first time, an engine with hybrid drive is also available, thanks to BMW EfficientDynamics, the tried and tested combustion engines also boast extremely low consumption values. For diesel vehicles, a particulate filter has become standard. The distinctive headlights are an eye-catcher that has crept closer to the characteristic kidney grille on the BMW F30. A new addition is the BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo hatchback (F34). As of this generation, the coupé and convertible in the BMW middle class are marketed as standalone models under the name BMW 4 Series.

A merger that took place following the First World War would see the manufacturer become ‘Mercedes-Benz’ – the brand we know today. BMW came around a little later, launching in 1916 as a manufacturer of aircraft engines. It wasn’t until 1928 that the brand become an automobile manufacturer. The first vehicles that BMW manufactured were a product of its purchase of Fahrzeugfabrik Eisnach, rebadging its Dixi cars as BMWs before expanding further into sports and luxury vehicles throughout the 1930s.
