BMW 3-Series Coupe boot space, practicality and safety

1999 - 2006 (change model)
Practicality rating: 3 out of 53.0

Written by Parkers Published: 6 June 2019

Has a four-star Euro NCAP rating and Boasts six airbags as standard and a full compliment of electronic safety measures. Puts up a very good fight in the face of thieves who might otherwise find it a very tempting target.

3-Series is roomier than the previous generation coupe, but the rear drive does compromise boot capacity a little. Although it’s a good effort overall, with very useable space, there are more accommodating rivals available with larger boots.
