The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 320I 150 5DR TOURING 2.0I ES AUTO is a premium mid-sized estate, combining 3 Series driving appeal with useful luggage space. In the UK, it competes with the Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class estates. Its petrol engine and automatic gearbox promise smooth, easy progress. Five doors and a practical load area make this BMW suitable for commuting, shopping and family journeys, without the bulk of an SUV. The ES trim and 150bhp 2.0-litre engine bring comfort and responsive performance, although it is better suited to buyers prioritising refinement over the lowest fuel bills. It is a more engaging alternative to many conventional family estates. Mycarcheck.com recorded 10 checks covering four distinct VINs, modest sample.
