BMW 3-Series Touring (05 on) - Review Review by David Ross on 20 October 2008 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. 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. 4.5 out of 5 Other BMW reviews Summary Facts & Figures Equipment Driving & Performance Comfort Costs Safety & Reliability Buying & Selling Also Consider Company Car Info Owners' Reviews Gallery Also Consider 4.5 out of 5 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate (08 on) Refined comfort, good choice of engines, versatile, great equipment levels, decent boot Fiddly audio-navigation system, cabin doesn't feel particularly premium Read full review 4.5 out of 5 Audi A4 Avant (08 on) Impressive levels of interior space, well built, good to drive, neat styling, incredibly refined Not quite as fuel efficient as a BMW 3-Series, expensive options Read full review 4 out of 5 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon (06-11) Wonderfully distinctive styling, wonderful cabin, strong diesel line-up, great handling Not very practical for an estate, tight space for passengers in the back Read full review Find other estate cars Car Valuations Find used car prices with Parkers accurate car valuations.
