The Gran Turismo body style was discontinued for the following generation, the G20 3 Series as it proved to be unsuccessful in terms of sales. Although it features a rear hatchback, the 3 Series GT is not considered a successor to the 1993–2004 3 Series Compact 3-door hatchbacks. The 5-door fastback body style has a designation of F34 and is marketed as the 3 Series Gran Turismo, with styling similar to the 5 Series Gran Turismo. The 320i, 316d and 318d models were added in autumn of 2012. This body style has a designation of F31, and the launch models consisted of the 328i, 320d and the 330d. The wagon/estate body style (marketed as "Touring") was unveiled at the 21st Auto Mobil International held at Leipzig in 2012. The 328i xDrive and 335i xDrive went on sale in the summer of 2012. In the United States, the arrival of the four-cylinder models marked the first time a 3 Series was sold with a four-cylinder petrol engine, since the E36 318i of the late 1990s. The 320i EfficientDynamics Edition and 316i were added in autumn of 2012. The 320i, 318d, and 316d models were added to the F30 range in March 2012. Early models included the 328i and 335i and (post LCI) later models included the 330i and 340i. The F30 sedan debuted at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show in March 2012 and was the first of the sixth generation 3 Series models to go on sale. Later, it was replaced by BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé (G26) in June 2021. But the F34 fastback model continued to be available until early 2020. In March 2019, the BMW 3 Series (G20) was released as the successor to the F30.
