BMW 3 Series for sale

Compact without being cramped: luxury without being over the top. The 3 Series is the standard for small executive saloons to aspire to and a car that earns the title “The Ultimate Driving Machine” – and then some.

The iconic BMW 3 Series has dominated the saloon market for more than 40 years. Stacked with all the latest technology and available as an estate or with the famed M badge, the 3 Series is the distilled essence of BMW.

Which is a fancy way of saying it’s a fantastic driving machine. Powerful engines, rear wheel drive and almost perfect weight distribution give the 3 series a tonne of character. Add in a superb driving position and you feel like you’re at the heart of the machine and able to take on anything.

The 3 Series features a sublime range of diesel and petrol engines. The petrol engines offer plenty of grunt for hoofing out of corners without glugging fuel. The diesels provide excellent economy without rattling or discomfort. The 3 Series also offers a hybrid option that borrows technology from BMW’s electric range.

The 3 Series isn’t, however, a sports car: it’s a family saloon. You get a great driving machine that’s just as good at moving people and possessions.

Rear seat space is surprisingly large, even if headroom is a bit tighter for taller adults. The boot is pretty big too.

Comfort is excellent as well, with fantastic seating front and rear, along with a wealth of leather, leather-effect vegan plastics and aluminium dotted about the place. It’s
premium without being gaudy.

For a day to day cruiser you can sling through the back roads, the 3 Series is pretty much unbeatable.
