BMW 3-Series reviews

BMW 3-Series Saloon (2019 onwards)

Parkers rating: 4.5 out of 54.5

Still the best compact executive saloon for all purposes

Wide range of engines and trims available
Great fun to drive yet still comfortable
High-quality interior with lots of tech

Options can make it quite pricey
Jerky start/stop system
Firm and fidgety ride on M Sport models
