Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 3 SERIES COMPACT (2001-05) 325TI 3DR COMPACT 2.5 SPORT SMG AUTO is a three-door premium hatchback, smaller and more practical than a saloon but sportier than an ordinary family car. It is an unusual, enthusiast-leaning used choice, blending BMW character with everyday hatchback usability in the UK market.
Mycarcheck.com records 105 look-ups across 61 distinct VINs. Average recorded mileage is 125,000, with around 5,000 miles added yearly, while cars have had nearly six previous keepers on average.
