BMW 3-Series Touring 320d SE 5d (01) (2002/02) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?
-
Economy
Value
Bought from Belgium and saved £5k. Compared to the Audi A4 this is better value. There is a lot of standard kit (dipping mirror, cruise, rear parking) which costs about £2k on the Audi.
Costs
It averages 53mpg on a run, depreciation is very low, servicing costs are cheap as chips.

On the road
Driving
Handles very well, very stable, loves fast A roads, Better than my old Impreza Turbo.
Performance
It has 150bhp. Because all the power is low down the rev range, it feels a lot faster than it is. Having previously owned an Impreza Turbo, I never feel that it is struggling. There is always plenty of power on tap.

Very comfortable for long journeys, especially with the optional sports seats.
