Used BMW 3-Series Saloon (1991 - 1998) Review Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 1991 4 Blueprint for the smaller executive car in the '90s, combining quality and driver appeal from the 316i right up to the exhilarating M3. Not as cheap to run as a Mondeo or Vectra - but choosing a 3-Series is more about style and status. Latest BMW 3-Series Saloon 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: £14,295 - £27,975 Summary Parkers Rating: 4 out of 5 Test drive with BMW or request a brochure Blueprint for the smaller executive car in the '90s, combining quality and driver appeal from the 316i right up to the exhilarating M3. Not as cheap to run as a Mondeo or Vectra - but choosing a 3-Series is more about style and status. It does not 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 for the best examples.
