The BMW 3 SERIES SALOON (2011-15) 335I 4DR SALOON 3.0 SS 306 EU6 M SPORT PROFESSIONAL MEDIA AUTO8 is a premium, four-door executive saloon and a sport-focused alternative to a standard family car. It still offers useful everyday practicality. In the UK market it competes with the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. Its 3.0-litre petrol engine and automatic gearbox deliver brisk, smooth performance, while M Sport styling and professional media equipment give it a more special feel. It suits drivers wanting an engaging commute, comfortable long-distance travel and room for passengers, rather than first-time motorists prioritising low running costs. The saloon’s balance of pace and refinement is a key draw. Mycarcheck.com records 1,214 checks across 353 distinct VINs, a substantial sample. Checked cars averaged £11,000, 78,000 miles and about 8,000 miles annually; recorded keeper history averaged three previous keepers. These figures offer useful context, but inspect each car carefully before purchase.
