BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 318D 122 4DR SALOON 2.0D
Buyer's Guide & Data from our Checks
The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 318D 122 4DR SALOON 2.0D is a premium compact family car: a smart, traditional four-door alternative to a hatchback, with a useful boot and room for passengers. In the UK used-car market, it sits among popular executive-style saloons, appealing to drivers who want a more polished feel without moving to a larger car.
The 2.0-litre diesel is suited to commuting, work journeys and family trips, combining relaxed motorway manners with the economy many diesel buyers seek. Its balanced, engaging drive and restrained styling are key 3 Series strengths, while the 318d offers a more modest, sensible entry point than stronger versions. It competes with saloons such as the Audi A4 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and is often chosen for its blend of comfort and driver appeal.
