BMW refreshed the seventh generation of the 3 Series in 2022 and, besides the sedan, the station wagon was upgraded as well.

After more than three decades and 1.7 millions cars on the road, BMW brought out the 2019 3 series Touring, the sixth generation of the model. The new station wagon is longer by 76 mm (3 in), reaching a total of 4709 mm (15.4 ft) compared to its predecessor. The wheelbase was increased by 41 mm (1.61 in), thus giving more room for the occupants. The trunk has been increased to a total volume of 500 liters (17.65 cu-ft), which can triple by folding down the rear seats to a total of 1510 liters (53.3 cu-ft).

In 2016, BMW introduced the facelift for the sixth generation of the 3-Series for all the range, including the station-wagon. Along with some subtle exterior changes, there were some technological upgrades.

BMW introduced the sixth generation of the 3 Series sedan in late 2011, but, even though it had the station wagon version ready to launch, it did that in 2012.

BMW introduced a mid-life cycle refresh for the whole 3-Series range in 2008 and improved the station wagon version named Sports Wagon in North America or Touring in Europe.

After the great success the Bavarian manufacturer had with the 4th generation of the 3-series, namely the E46, BMW decided it was time for a brand new model that would still turn heads.

BMW introduced a facelifted version of its 3-Series in 2001 and improved it to match its main competitor, the C-Class from Mercedes.

BMW introduced the fourth generation of the 3 Series in 1997 as a sedan, followed by the coupe in 1998 and the station wagon, which the automaker named Touring, in 1999.

The second generation of the 3-Series was launched in 1982 but it wasn't until the car's mid-life cycle refresh until the station-wagon was launched. It was the first 3-Series that had the Touring name.
