Safety rating

5 out of 5 stars
Adult occupants97%
Child occupants87%
Vulnerable road users87%
Safety assist76%

The safety rating is based on the official Euro NCAP crash tests for this model (nearest model year). The percentages show the level of protection in four areas; the stars summarise the overall result. This is a model-based rating, not an inspection of the individual vehicle.

CO₂ emissions

CO₂ combined
119 g/km
Efficiency classB
0225 g/km

The CO₂ figure comes from the vehicle data. The efficiency class is a simplified rating based on CO₂ output alone (0–225 g/km); the official class under the German Pkw-EnVKV also factors in vehicle weight and may therefore differ.

Recall texts are the official German originals of the Federal Motor Transport Authority.

A vehicle within the stated production period is not necessarily affected – an authorised workshop can confirm by VIN whether a recall applies and has already been carried out.

Known weak points of this model series

BMW 3er F30 · 2011-2019 · 7 documented weak points
  • Timing chain issues in N13, N20 and N47 engines
    severe

    The N13, N20 and N47 engines are known for timing chain problems that can lead to engine damage. Symptoms include metallic rattling on cold starts.

    Affects:
    N13, N20, N47 engines
  • Defects in the transfer case in xDrive models
    severe

    The transfer case of the xDrive all-wheel drive is considered a potential weak point and can fail, noticeable by jerking. Mixed tyre sizes promote wear.

    Affects:
    xDrive models
    Typical repair cost:
    €300 – €2,000
  • Software problems and system crashes of the iDrive system
    moderate

    The iDrive infotainment system occasionally shows faults such as system crashes, display interruptions and connection drops. This can often be resolved with a software update.

    Affects:
    all model years
  • Coolant loss and leaks at the water pump
    moderate

    In the B48 engine, a leaking radiator hose or a defective electric water pump can lead to coolant loss. The plastic thermostat housing is also prone to leaks.

    Affects:
    B48 engine
    Typical repair cost:
    approx. €600
  • Problems with the high-pressure pump in N55 and N20/N26
    moderate

    In the N55 engine, there were initial problems with the high-pressure pump, while in early 2.0 petrol engines (N20/N26) the high-pressure pump is susceptible to defects. This leads to starting problems and loss of power.

    Affects:
    N55, N20, N26 engines
    Typical repair cost:
    €800 – €1,400
  • Defective EGR valves and EGR coolers
    moderate

    The EGR valve and EGR cooler occur as frequent defects and must be replaced over the course of the mileage. In the B47 diesel, coking can cause problems.

    Affects:
    Diesel models
    Typical repair cost:
    €600 – €1,200
  • Wear on tie rods and springs
    minor

    At higher mileage, tie rods and rear springs can fail as wear parts and need to be replaced. The rubber mounts of the front control arms also tear.

    Affects:
    all variants

Odometer history

Warning: an odometer reading is lower than an earlier one — a possible sign of odometer tampering.
149,19082,50015,810Jun 2019Sep 2020May 2021Mar 2022Oct 2022Jul 2026

The curve shows dated odometer readings over time. A value that falls over time points to a rolled-back odometer.

Open recalls (1)

  • Rückruf (Beispiel): Mögliche Undichtigkeit im AGR-Kühler. Hersteller-Aktion – Prüfung und ggf. Austausch in der Vertragswerkstatt.

Recalls are manufacturer actions to remedy safety-related defects. An entry does not necessarily mean something is still open on this vehicle – open recalls can be checked at an authorised workshop using the VIN.
