The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 320D 4DR SALOON 2.0 AUTO is a compact executive saloon, offering four doors and more polish than a mainstream family hatchback. In the UK used market, it competes with the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and brings a smart, understated image for discerning drivers. These mycarcheck.com figures come from just three look-ups covering two VINs, so they are a small snapshot rather than a market-wide guide. They show an average private-sale value of £900, recorded mileage of 98,000 miles and annual mileage of 4,000; cars averaged just over two previous keepers. The diesel engine and automatic gearbox make it a relaxed choice for commuting, longer journeys and errands, while four doors suit couples or small families. Its appeal lies in composed road manners, a premium cabin feel and practical boot; against mainstream family cars, it feels more special, but age makes condition and service history important.
