BMW 3 SERIES SALOON (2011-15) 335I 4DR SALOON 3.0 SS 306 EU5 MODERN BUSINESS MEDIA AUTO8 is a premium four-door saloon in the UK’s compact executive-car class, alongside the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Understated styling and a roomy cabin make it more grown-up than a family hatchback, yet manageable daily. Its petrol engine gives this automatic a lively character. It suits drivers who want comfortable commuting, motorway refinement and enough space for small families, but also value brisk acceleration and an engaging drive for enthusiasts. Compared with many rivals, the 335i stands out for combining saloon practicality with strong petrol performance; running costs and fuel use may be higher than in smaller-engined alternatives. Check service history and condition carefully when viewing a used example. Mycarcheck recorded 44 checks across 12 distinct VINs; average mileage was 111,000, annual use 9,000 miles, 3.75 previous keepers and £6,200 private-sale value for this model.
