The BMW 3 Series is a benchmark premium executive saloon car. These days, it easily outsells more traditional family cars such as the Ford Mondeo, and sometimes even appears in the UK’s top 10 best-selling cars list. Over the years, BMW has refined the 3 Series, curing complaints about the early 1980s cars such as cramped interiors and thirsty engines. As with every previous model, this sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series (codenamed F30 by the company) was, at launch in 2012, the best yet. The best bit with any 3 Series is how it drives, and BMW was careful not to disappoint here. Years of experience in building sporty-feeling saloons is clear from the first turn of the wheel. The steering is firm and direct, body control is excellent and the handling is anything but soft or soggy. The fact it is rear-driven also helps the balance and purity, marking it out from something like an Audi A4. We have long admired BMW’s excellent infotainment systems and the 3 Series doesn’t disappoint. The boot is also pretty commodious, with up to 480 litres of space on offer. That it is such a well-built car, one that’s proven to be very reliable, further validates interest in this image-conscious model. One of the most popular second-hand cars on sale, it’s not hard to see why the BMW 3 Series is such a winner.. 18in Alloy Wheels - Light M Star Spoke - 400M, 3.5mm Auxiliary Input Point in Centre Console for Auxiliary Playing Devices, 6.5in Colour Display Screen, Air Conditioning - Automatic with Two-Zone Control, Airbags, Alarm System - Thatcham 1 with Remote Control and Engine Immobiliser, Ambient Lighting - Switchable BMW Classic Orange - Cold White - LED, Armrest - Rear Centre with Two Cupholders, Automatic Transmission with Gearshift Paddles, Automatically Dimming Rear View Mirror, BMW ConnectedDrive Online Services, BMW Navigation System, Battery Safety Cut Off, Bluetooth Hands Free with USB Audio Interface, Bottle Holders Integrated into Door Trim Storage Compartments - Front - Up to 1 litre, Bumper System Front and Rear - Replaceable Deformation Elements for Impacts Up to 9mph, Central Locking Switch - Doors - Fuel Filler Cap - Luggage Compartment, Charging Cable - Mode 2 - 5 Metres with Storage Bag, Charging Flap in Body Colour Located on the Front Left Side, Charging Socket with LED Corona Charging Status Light, Crash Sensor - Activating Central Locking Release - Hazard Warning Lights - Battery Safety Cut Off - Interior Lighting, Cruise Control with Brake Function, DAB Digital Radio, DSC - Dynamic Stability Control Plus, Door Sill Finishers - M Designation - Front, Drive Performance Control - ECO PRO - Comfort - Sport and Sport Plus, Dynamic Brake Lights, Extended Lighting, Exterior Mirrors - Heated - Electrically Adjustable, Exterior Parts in Body Colour, Exterior Trim - High-Gloss Shadowline, First Aid Kit and Warning Triangle, Full Black Panel Display, Full Black-Panel Instrument Cluster with Hybrid-Specific Contents - including eDrive Lettering on Start-Up, Glove Box Opener with Chrome Spider, Handbrake and Gear Knob - Leather, Headlining - Anthracite, Heat Protection Glazing with Green Tint, Indicator Lenses - Clear, Interior Lighting, Interior Trim - Aluminium Hexagon with Estoril Blue Matt Finisher, LED Fog Lights - Front, LED Headlights, Lashing Eyes in Luggage Compartment x4, M Aerodynamic Bodystyling, M Sport Suspension, Media Package - BMW Business, Model Designation - eDrive on the Tailgate-Left Side and C-Pillar Left and Right, Mountings for Lashing Eyes, Non Smokers Package, PDC - Park Distance Control - Front and Rear, Personal Profile, Pollen Filter, Reading Lights - Front and Rear with Soft Light, Rear Seat Headrests - Three, Seat Belt Security Check for Driver, Shark Fin, Side Armrests - Front and Rear Integrated into Door Trim, Side Exterior M Designation Badges, Side Impact Protection, Sport Seats - Front, Start-Stop Button with Comfort Go Keyless Engine Start and Auto Start-Stop Deactivation Button, Sun Visors with Illuminated Vanity Mirrors and Ticket Pocket, Suspension - Front Aluminium, TPMS - Tyre Pressure Monitoring System, Three-Point Seat Belts - All Seats, Twin Horns, Tyres - Reduced Rolling Resistance, Welcome Light, Windscreen Wipers - Two-Speed with Adjustable Intervals, eDrive Button, eDrive Services, iPerformance Exterior Styling Deletion, BMW Icon Adaptive LED Headlights, Advanced Parking Package, Enhanced Bluetooth Telephone Preparation with USB Audio Interface and Voice Control, Reversing Assist Camera, Seat Heating for Driver and Front Passenger, Interior Trim - Ash Grain Wood Trim Finishers with Metal Inlay and Pearl Chrome Highlight, High-Beam Assistant, Dakota Leather - Black with Black Interior.
