The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 320D 163 4DR SALOON 2.0D SE AUTO is a four-door compact executive saloon, a more grown-up alternative to mainstream family cars, but smaller and easier to park than a luxury saloon. Its understated styling and comfortable cabin make it a choice in the UK used-car market. Mycarcheck.com has recorded 3,207 look-ups across 1,451 different VINs, a sample of interest in this model. Checks show average recorded mileage of 140,000 miles, around 8,000 miles a year, and 5.4 previous keepers. The average private-sale valuation is £1,800, useful context rather than a price guide for any individual car. As a diesel automatic, it suits commuters, couples and families wanting a relaxed car for longer journeys. The 320d is known for balancing performance and economy, while SE trim keeps things comfort-focused. Against Audi A4 and Mercedes C-Class rivals, it offers engaging handling and a respected badge with broad appeal.
