What Car? says

5 out of 5 stars

For Superbly built and engineered – great to drive

Against Firm ride; not that practical

Verdict One of the best used cars money can buy.

Go for… 320d ES

Avoid… 330i M Sport

BMW 3 Series Saloon
  • 1. The firm suspension shows up bumps and rough surfaces at low speed
  • 2. Posher cars get the iDrive rotary control, which some people find extremely awkward
  • 3. The cabin is beautifully quiet, with little road, suspension or wind noise
  • 4. Back seats are comfortable for anyone up to six feet tall
  • 5. All engines are tough and reliable, and will last many thousands of miles
