The German automaker's first ever station wagon was added to the BMW 3 Series in 1987. The third generation debuted in 1990, followed by the fourth in 1997 which would become the top-selling BMW series of all time. In 2011, the sixth generation introduced new hybrid powertrains to the BMW 3 Series lineup.
