What Car? says
For The Touring adds practicality to the 3 Series range without sacrificing the saloon’s excellent drive
Against It's not great at carrying big loads and it's expensive on the used market
Verdict
It's reasonably practical, has a fine drive and holds its value very well
Go for… 318i
Avoid… 330i
- 1. The Touring brings only a slight increase in practicality over the saloon
- 2. Good overall reliability, but watch for suspension failure
- 3. If you cover high mileages the better economy and greater pull of the diesel car may make it the ideal choice
- 4. The front seats are comfotable for all, with good adjustment in all directions
- 5. All engines are tough and reliable, and will last many thousands of miles
