The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320D 2DR COUPE 2.0 CD ES is a two-door, four-seat premium coupe combining the 3 Series shape with a diesel engine. In the UK used market it is an older, affordable alternative to newer coupes, offering a more sporting image than a family hatchback or saloon. mycarcheck.com recorded 228 look-ups covering 120 different VINs, a sizeable sample. Checks show an average private-sale valuation of £900 and average mileage of 158,000 miles, with 8,000 miles added yearly. The cars averaged more than six previous keepers, so condition and service history can vary considerably between examples. That diesel economy and comfortable drive make the BMW 320d coupe suited to commuters and drivers covering longer journeys, while its two doors are less convenient for family duties. Against rivals such as the Audi A4 coupe, it stands out for balanced handling and a premium feel; check for wear before buying.
