The BMW 3 Series (1998-06) 325i 5dr Touring 2.5 Sport Rev 01 is a premium estate, combining 3 Series driving appeal with extra luggage room. In the UK used-car market, it offers more prestige and enjoyment than mainstream family estates, while its age and running costs make condition especially important. Mycarcheck.com records 113 checks across 59 distinct VINs. The observed average private-sale value is £800, with average recorded mileage of 152,000 miles and about 5.8 previous keepers; average annual mileage is 4,000. These figures describe vehicles checked, not every example, so use them as context and inspect history carefully. This Touring suits families, commuters and drivers needing boot space without giving up an engaging drive. Its 2.5-litre petrol six-cylinder is smooth and lively, though fuel use can exceed simpler rivals. Against an Audi A4 Avant or Mercedes C-Class estate, it stands out for balanced handling and classic BMW driving character.
