Which model is the BMW F30?

BMW F30 is the chassis code for the short-wheelbase version of the BMW 3 Series. The BMW 3 Series is a mid-size sedan launched by BMW. The F30 has body dimensions of 4734mm in length, 1811mm in width, and 1453mm in height. It adopts a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. In terms of interior, the car features a more modern design, equipped with a 1080p HD widescreen for the center console. The tidy interior combined with newly designed ambient lighting enhances the horizontal visual effect of the cabin. The BMW F30 is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged three-cylinder engine, a low-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, and a high-power version 2.0-liter turbocharged engine.
The BMW F30 is the chassis code for the sixth-generation 3 Series, referring to the standard-wheelbase sedan produced from 2012 to 2019. This generation completely revamped the exterior design, with its 'eyelid' headlights and sharper character lines giving it a more sporty appearance. I've driven my friend's 320i F30, and its chassis tuning is exceptionally balanced, with precise steering yet comfortable enough for daily driving. In China, the long-wheelbase F35 is the most common variant on the roads, while the F30 is relatively rare. This was the first time BMW equipped the 3 Series with a digital instrument cluster and driving mode selection, with even the low-power 2.0T producing 184 horsepower. Unfortunately, the classic analog gauges were replaced by a full digital display during the 2015 facelift.
