Used BMW 3-Series Coupe (1992 - 1999) Review Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 1992 Last Updated: 12 Mar 2012 4 Although technically only a three door version of the saloon, BMW decided to market it as something posher and hike the price up. And they were pretty successful with it, because choosing a 3-Series is more about style and status so people tended not to miss the practicality of extra doors. Latest BMW 3-Series Coupe review Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Image, smooth six cylinder engines, great to drive Not much standard equipment, limited rear legroom, less exclusive than some rivals New price range: £18,205 - £29,885 Summary Parkers Rating: 4 out of 5 Test drive with BMW or request a brochure Although technically only a three door version of the saloon, BMW decided to market it as something posher and hike the price up. And they were pretty successful with it, because choosing a 3-Series is more about style and status so people tended not to miss the practicality of extra doors. It's not a car to disappoint in any key areas, and its desirable image is holding up well despite being replaced.It's a real driving machine that's still in demand, so prices remain high, but you would probably be better served with a saloon.
