The BMW 3 SERIES (1998-06) 325I 5DR TOURING 2.5 SPORT AUTO is a five-door estate, or Touring, combining the premium feel of a 3 Series saloon with extra room for luggage. In the UK used-car market, it sits among compact executive estates, offering a more driver-focused alternative to practical mainstream family cars. Its 2.5-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox suit relaxed journeys, while the estate body works well for family duties, commuting and weekends. The Sport version adds purpose, and the 3 Series is known for enjoyable handling. Against the Audi A4 Avant and Mercedes C-Class estate, it favours driving enjoyment. mycarcheck.com data is limited: five look-ups covered two VINs, so treat figures as indicative.
