The BMW F34 3 Series Gran Turismo was a unique addition to the F30 generation, produced from 2013 to 2020. Built on the long-wheelbase chassis of the Chinese-market 3 Series (F35), it offered significantly more rear legroom and cargo capacity than the standard sedan or wagon. Its distinctive profile combines a fastback roofline, frameless door windows, and an active rear spoiler, setting it apart from any other BMW.
The Gran Turismo's appeal isn't in classic collectibility but in its practicality and value. It's a spacious, comfortable, and unconventional modern BMW that has experienced significant depreciation. Buyers get the performance and engineering of the F30 platform, including turbocharged N20 4-cylinder and N55 6-cylinder engines, with the utility of a much larger car.
With an average sale price of just over $15,000, the F34 represents a strong bargain in the used BMW market. It hasn't found a following with traditional collectors, which keeps prices low for enthusiasts seeking a daily driver that's different from the common sedan. Well-optioned 335i and LCI 340i models are the most desirable and command the highest prices, but they remain affordable compared to their original cost.
Buying Tips
- Check for timing chain guide wear on N20 engines (328i), a common issue that is costly to repair.
- On N55 engines (335i), inspect the plastic charge pipe for cracks and look for leaks from the oil filter housing gasket.
- Test the active rear spoiler to ensure it deploys and retracts correctly. Also, verify the function of the power liftgate and panoramic sunroof, if equipped.
- For xDrive models, listen for any noise or binding from the transfer case during tight turns, which can indicate a need for service or replacement.
- Inspect the frameless window seals for wear or damage, which can lead to excessive wind noise or water leaks.
Based on recent sales, prices range from around $10,000 for early models to over $35,000 for late-model, top-spec variants.
