The 3-Series Sports Wagon is BMW’s near-luxury wagon that was redesigned for 2006 and received subtle exterior updates for 2009. BMW's 3-Series model is a descendant of the BMW 1600 from the 1960s, considered by many automotive enthusiasts to be the first compact sedan offering sports car performance. The 3-Series designation first appeared in America in 1977, and the car evolved from a rather boxy shape to its present fluid, aerodynamic design. The 2000 3-Series was introduced in 1999 and the 3-Series Sport Wagon joined the 3-Series lineup in the U.S. for the first time in the spring of 2000. The name was changed to 3-Series Sports Wagon for 2006 when it was updated with an all-new look, upgraded engines and a new chassis.
