The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320I 5DR TOURING 2.2 SE is a compact executive estate: a premium alternative to practical family cars, with five doors and useful load space. Its Touring body gives the familiar 3 Series feel extra everyday flexibility, making it more versatile than the saloon while remaining easier to park than a large estate. Mycarcheck.com records 22 look-ups covering 14 distinct VINs, a modest sample rather than a complete picture. Across those checks, average recorded mileage was 153,000, with annual mileage around 5,000. The average private-sale valuation was £500, and cars had about seven previous keepers on average. With its six-cylinder character, the 320i suits commuting, weekend trips and duties, rather than buyers seeking the lowest running costs. It is known for engaging road manners and a premium feel against estate rivals such as the Ford Mondeo. Check history and condition: age, mileage and keeper changes matter.
