Why buy a used BMW 3 Series?

If you’re after a car that’s fun to drive yet comfortable and luxurious, the BMW 3 Series takes some beating. Whether you pick petrol, diesel or the 330e plug-in hybrid with its 35-mile EV range, you’ll get a car that devours motorway miles and twisting B-roads equally well. The 3 Series also boasts a posh interior and space for four adults to sit comfortably. There’s a saloon model and an estate available, with the latter offering a bigger, more versatile boot with an opening rear windscreen.

Popular BMW 3 Series trims for sale at Motorpoint

A high proportion of BMW 3 Series cars sold in the UK come in M Sport trim – it takes a conscious choice to opt for another trim level. You’ll also find Sport and SE trims, with broadly the same amount of equipment but without M Sport’s racy styling, plus M Sport Pro, which dials the sportiness up even more with black accents and extra goodies. The performance models are the petrol-powered M340i and diesel-burning M340d; both are viciously fast yet very settled on undulating roads.

Owning a used BMW 3 Series

Whether you value comfort or sportiness, the BMW 3 Series is likely to put a smile on your face. Because it’s so impressive and so well rounded, it’s a delight to own, and you can look forward to many happy miles. Opting for an extended warranty means you can have total peace of mind for those miles, too.

You can expect around 40mpg from the 320i petrol, 55mpg from the 320d diesel on a long journey, and a usable all-electric range in the 330e – perfect for driving around town or sneaking into the office car park without disturbing anyone.

Read our BMW 3 Series review to find out more about owning and driving this model.

Other models you may be interested in

The 3 Series goes head-to-head with the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4 (now Audi A5), as it has done for decades. Other top contenders include the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Peugeot 508, while electric options include the Tesla Model 3 and Polestar 2.

Your BMW 3 Series Questions Answered

The BMW 3 Series comes in two body styles – the saloon and the estate, or ‘3 Series Touring’ as BMW calls it. There’s also a sportier-looking 2-door coupe version called the BMW 4 Series.


The 3 Series Touring is the one to pick if you need maximum boot space – on paper its 500-litre boot is only 20 litres bigger than the 480-litre boot in the 3 Series Saloon. That said, it’s actually a much larger space than the numbers suggest because you can load it to the roof. It’s definitely the version to pick if you’re frequently carrying large items.

The 3 Series comes with a range of diesel, petrol and hybrid engines that range from the frugal to the furiously fast. For most people, the 320d offers the perfect blend of performance and fuel economy – that’d be our pick.


There’s not a single manual gearbox version anymore – the BMW 3 Series is automatic only. Keep an eye out for ‘xDrive’ models, which are four-wheel drive – this is available on most 3 Series engine choices.

In the 2022 Driver Power owner survey, BMW came slightly ahead of Mercedes and Audi for reliability. Most 3 Series cars presented no problems, but the sheer complexity of some of its electrical systems means that a small number of owners reported issues. As a car gets older, its routine and preventative maintenance becomes more important, and a used 3 Series should be reliable if it’s had the necessary work done. If reliability is of utmost importance to you, consider purchasing an extended warranty when you buy from Motorpoint.

The BMW 3 Series is a great used purchase – you can save thousands versus a new one but still enjoy the comfortable, high-tech interior and fantastic driving experience. BMW does sell service plans for used cars, which puts main dealer servicing into monthly chunks.

The BMW 3 Series is a bit more expensive to insure than something like a Volkswagen Golf but it shouldn’t be too costly to insure. A 320i sits in group 28 out of 50, while diesel versions start in group 31. The fast M Performance versions are, unsurprisingly, a little more expensive to insure, and their fuel bills will be higher than lesser versions too.

BMW charges around £25 per month for a service plan, which isn’t unreasonable and makes sure you’re covered for unexpected costs. All in all a BMW 3 Series shouldn’t be ruinously expensive to maintain, but big jobs can throw up big bills as the car gets older.

Yes, the BMW 3 Series is one of our favourite saloons. It’s great to drive, feels luxurious, is reasonably practical and is very well built. Petrol, diesel and hybrid engines are available, as is an estate model that gives more luggage space.
