FOR
The 3 Series is a great drive, with excellent poise through corners, informative steering and a range of strong engines. Refinement is excellent and the cabin has a high-quality feel.
|
|
|
|
AGAINST
Rear headroom isn't as good as it should be. Prices are high and entry-level versions don’t have alloy wheels.
