The BMW 3 SERIES (2005-12) 320D 177 5DR TOURING 2.0D EDITION M SPORT AUTO is a premium, five-door estate, combining the 3 Series’ smart image with useful family-car space. It sits among desirable used executive estates, offering a more engaging, upmarket alternative to mainstream load-luggers such as the Ford Mondeo estate models. The 177bhp diesel and automatic gearbox make it well suited to regular commuting, motorway journeys and family trips, while the Touring body provides room for luggage, hobbies and everyday shopping. M Sport trim gives it a sportier appearance and feel, making this practical BMW appealing to drivers who want comfort and useful space without giving up driving enjoyment.
