The BMW 3 SERIES TOURING (2015-18) 318I 5DR TOURING 1.5 SS 136 EU6 SPORT 6SPD is a compact premium estate, combining the 3 Series’ smart, sporty character with useful space for everyday life.

Sport trim adds a purposeful look; this 136hp model balances everyday performance with a more engaging drive than many conventional estate cars. It can suit couples, small families and professionals wanting one versatile car.
