The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 325D 5DR TOURING 3.0D DPF EU5 204 M SPORT STEP AUTO6 is a premium mid-sized estate, offering a practical alternative to a saloon rather than an SUV or hatchback. In the UK used-car market, it blends BMW’s sporty image with useful luggage space, appealing to drivers who want refinement without a bulky family car. The mycarcheck.com sample includes 322 look-ups covering 117 different VINs, a useful spread of examples. Recorded cars average £4,500, 117,000 miles and 7,000 miles annually, with about four previous keepers. These figures offer a snapshot, not a guarantee of any individual car’s condition or value, so check its history and maintenance carefully. The 325d Touring suits families and commuters needing room for bags, while its automatic gearbox eases daily driving. Strong diesel performance and M Sport styling distinguish it from Audi and Mercedes estates, with practical space and a notably engaging drive overall.
