BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320D 4DR SALOON 2.0 SE
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320D 4DR SALOON 2.0 SE is a compact premium four-door saloon, aimed at drivers wanting a more refined alternative to mainstream family cars. In the UK used market, it sits among established executive saloons, competing with diesel versions of the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Its discreet styling remains recognisably BMW.
The 2.0-litre diesel suits regular commuting, longer journeys and modest family duties, with a traditional boot and comfortable cabin making it more practical than a small hatchback. It is best for buyers who value composed road manners and useful fuel economy over the latest technology or extra space of a larger estate or SUV.
