 BMW F30/F31/F34/F35 3 Series Engine Oil Maintenance Reminder Reset Guide

The BMW F30/F31/F34/F35 series is the sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series, which was launched on February 11, 201 as the successor to the E90 3 Series. The body styles of the range are:

    4-door sedan/saloon (F30 model code)
    5-door estate/wagon (F31 model code, marketed as "Touring" or "Sports Wagon")
    5-door fastback (F34 model code, marketed as 3 Series Gran Turismo)
    4-door long-wheelbase sedan/saloon (F35 model code, only sold in China)

For the sixth generation, the coupe and convertible models were spun off to create the new BMW 4 Series nameplate. BMW also introduced a separate hatchback model under the 3 Series nameplate called the Gran Turismo.

The F30 is the first generation of 3 Series to be powered by a range of turbocharged engines exclusively and electric power steering[13] (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. A new plug-in hybrid F30 model was also introduced in 2016.

The M3 model (designated F80) was released in 2014 and is powered by the S55 twin-turbo straight-6 engine.
