BMW 3-Series Touring (05-12) - Review Review by David Ross on 20 Oct 2008 4.5 As estates go, the 3-Series Touring isn't the biggest around, but it's usefully practical nonetheless and is certainly a good choice if you need more versatility than the saloon version offers. Standard boot capacity is actually the same as the four door - but with the rear seats folded flat the Touring can carry plenty with more than 1300 litres of space.

Standard boot capacity is actually the same as the four door - but with the rear seats folded flat the Touring can carry plenty with more than 1300 litres of space. There's a huge choice of engines available and from September 2007 all cars feature Efficient Dynamics fuel saving technology. In Autumn 2008 the model was facelifted (along with the saloon) with sharper styling, a refreshed interior and tweaks to make the engines even more economical.
