About the BMW F31
The BMW F31 is the Touring (estate) version of the sixth-generation 3 Series, built from 2012 to 2019 alongside the F30 saloon. Sharing its engines and technology with the saloon, it added a generous, flexible boot with a separately opening tailgate window — a practical touch that made it a favourite for families and long-distance drivers. The range stretched from the frugal 316d and 320d diesels to the six-cylinder 335i and 340i, with xDrive all-wheel drive available on many trims. Sporty to drive yet genuinely useful, the F31 proved that a wagon could deliver the classic BMW feel, and it remains one of the most sought-after used estates in its class.
