BMW 3-Series Compact (01-04) - Review

Review by Parkers on
Compact is the entry-level baby-Beemer. All the badge-kudos and fancy engineering, in a smaller and funkier package. At least that's the theory. Thing is, it looks like its been in a rear-end shunt and isn't really that cheap.

Buying used

You won't get a cheap one but it's a very sensible purchase that should provide enjoyable and trouble free motoring.

Selling

Should be very easy to sell - especially with a diesel unit or a generous spec level.
