BMW 3-Series Touring boot space, practicality and safety
1999 - 2005
(change model)
Won a four-star Euro NCAP rating when it was crash-tested, which was top of its class at the time. Has 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.
More practical than the other body shapes, but shaped to look good as much as increase practicality. Copes easily with your weekend activities and family needs. However, antique dealers (or grandfather clock repairmen) may want to opt for the more cavernous 5-Series Touring.
