| Motorists demands are met with the popular BMW 3 Series. The price tag may be a little high but it’s the best choice for a compact executive car. The 3 Series has prestige, the engineering is faultless and it’s a pleasure to drive, all this gives it an upmarket feel that makes it desirable. |

The 3 Series really stands out as a desirable car to own despite it being commonplace on the road. The 3 Series is selling well not because of the badge but because it does everything it says on the tin.
3 Series owners tend to be driving enthusiasts who are proud owners of their cars. Many other rival cars in the 3 Series class have more space inside. The current 3 Series is not great for adults in the back.
The C Class is the only one that is more expensive in its class but only a handful offer the quality performance and handling that the 3 Series provide.
The engines are smooth and strong apart from the 1.8-litre 316i. All the six cylinder cars are superb. If its performance and price you are looking for then the 2.2-litre 320i is the one for you. If you want a diesel then you should go for the 330d.
The 3 Series has great sporty handling and driving feel. There is a huge list of optional extras for the 3 Series and the standard equipment is good.
Despite the running cost being high the depreciation of the 3 Series is slow to make up for it. |
