The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 330D 4DR SALOON SPORT EU4 is a compact executive saloon, a four-door family car with a premium feel. In the UK used-car market, it competes with the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4, offering traditional saloon styling and a diesel engine. mycarcheck.com records show 215 checks covering 98 VINs. The average private-sale valuation is £1,000; average recorded mileage is 163,000 miles, with annual use of 6,000 miles. Cars checked had nearly six previous keepers on average, making a history and condition check worthwhile. The 330d Sport suits commuters and families seeking a car for longer journeys, rather than a small city runabout. Its diesel power, assured road manners and sporty trim make it more engaging than many saloons of its age, while four doors help with use. It can be attractive value, but age and mileage make service records, an inspection and a vehicle-history check important.
