Used BMW 3-Series Touring (1995 - 1999) Review Review by Parkers on 01 Jan 1995 3.5 Popular version of the 3-Series offered a welcome hike in practicality thanks to the extra luggage space. But a lot of them were bought because of the image - more country life than British Touring Car racer. Latest BMW 3-Series Touring review Summary Driving & Performance Equipment Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Owners' Reviews Also Consider Facts & Figures Gallery Smooth six cylinder engines; great to drive Not much standard equipment; limited rear legroom; less exclusive than some rivals New price range: £17,695 - £28,755 Used price range: £194 - £1,179 View all used prices Summary Parkers Rating: 3.5 out of 5 Test drive with BMW or request a brochure Popular version of the 3-Series offered a welcome hike in practicality thanks to the extra luggage space. But a lot of them were bought because of the image - more country life than British Touring Car racer. 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.
