Summary |
WHAT PARKERS SAY ABOUT THE BMW 3 SERIESSUMMARYIn the closely fought compact executive market, one model stands out from the rest: the BMW 3-Series. It has history stretching back to the 1980s and has built a solid reputation, and is the car of choice for every young middle manager. It's not that 3-Series lacks any serious rivals: the Mercedes-Benz C-Class is as prestigious; the Lexus IS will push it on reliability, while a fully loaded Ford Mondeo is better value. But it’s only the 3-Series, with its purposeful yet conservative styling, which has struck a chord with the British. Its popularity has not weakened residuals; even with plenty of used ones about, prices are remarkably stable. HANDLING Larger than the model it replaced, this 3-Series is not the out-and-out driving machine like its forerunners. There are still kicks to be had, but it feels safer and more refined. Competitors like IS200 offer give it a good run for its money, but don't quite match the overall experience. You'd be hard pushed to tell which end is driven (the 3-Series isn't as tale happy as models of old) but it's safe and well-balanced yet still sporting, particularly the more potent or Sport spec models. COMFORT Lack of rear space, a problem which dogged past 3-Series, is improved, but still not great - that rear drive layout eats into rear space. It's a car that's comfortable for passengers, with well-supported, sculpted seats, but don’t even think of regularly carrying more than three passengers in one. The cabin is quiet when cruising. Good sound insulation keeps out road and engine noise, but the sporty suspension set-up makes the ride firm. PRACTICALITY The saloon is perfectly suited to cruising on A-roads, comfortably covering hundreds of motorway miles at a time. It’s not quite as nimble around town but it carries the weekly shopping with ease. 3-Series is roomier than the previous generation model, but the rear drive does compromise boot capacity a little. Although it's a good effort overall, with very useable space, there are bigger-bottomed and more accommodating rivals available. EQUIPMENT As standard, all models get an adjustable steering column, front, side and head airbags, an air filter, ABS, traction control, automatic front seat belt tensioners, body coloured bumpers and side sills, a catalytic converter, digital clock, electric front windows, electric door mirrors, a lockable and illuminated glovebox, an immobiliser, head restraints, front sun visors with vanity mirrors, ISOFIX child seats, cloth upholstery, leather rim sports steering wheel, velour carpets, air conditioning, power steering, remote alarm system, height adjustable front seats, service interval indicator and 16-inch steel wheels. ES adds sports suspension, body coloured door handles and mirrors, brake force display, and a leather gear knob and steering wheel. BEHIND THE WHEEL It pampers the driver, with a fully adjustable seat and a position that puts buttons and switches within easy reach. Dials are perfectly sited and all major controls have been positioned to deliver a sporty ambience - ready for action. The driving position can be tailored to suit most needs but base models feel a bit spartan. SAFETY Alarm and immobiliser are standard, as is remote central locking; satellite tracking is an option. All models have six airbags, including side airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and ABS. Safety is assured with a four star Euro-NCAP rating - excellent for its age, but beginning to be left behind by the latest models. RELIABILITY Overall, 3-Series is well built, dependable and has excellent reliability – continuing the notion of great German build-quality. Serious problems are rare and although we have heard reports of the occasional niggle, these are unlikely to be anything that won't be quickly sorted by the dealer. As ever, regular self maintenance and keeping to the service intervals will be of long-term benefit. ABOUT PG04 HDYThis particular BMW is a 320D ES Saloon with the excellent 150BHP 2.0 Diesel Engine. PG04 HDY is a One Owner, 04 Plate car first registered on 8th July 2004 making it just over four years old. It has covered 90,350 miles from new and importantly comes with a full BMW service history totalling 5 services, the most recent having been carried out at 87,991 miles. The onboard service indicator is indicating a further 16,650 miles to the next service which will be an INSPECTION I SERVICE.PG04 HDY drives superbly as you would expect with this kind of BMW history. It also comes with MOT to 8th July 2009 meaning the new owner can relax and enjoy driving the car without the worry of imminent service or MOT costs. 
The ES model is an excellently specified model with standard features including height adjustable steering and drivers seat, multiple air bags, stability control and ABS, M Sport leather steering wheel and gear knob, BMW Business Radio/CD, air conditioning, remote central locking, alarm/immobiliser and more. In addition to the standard ES specification PG04 HDY is fitted with 17" BMW MV2 SPORT ALLOYS normally found only the 3 Series Sport Models. These alloys are among the best looking manufacturer alloys on the market and certain set this car apart from other ES models. A further benefit is a professionally installed Nokia Bluetooth phone kit. The diesel engine in the 320D ES is one of the best in its class developing 150BHP and 330NM or torque. This coupled to a 6 Speed Manual gearbox means this family sized saloon will accelerate from 0-60mph in 8.4 seconds and onto 134mph where possible, however being diesel means it will also return an average of 49mpg and few 2.0 litre diesels can match this kind of performance. A further benefit of the Diesel engine is that with emissions of 153g/km this 3 Series costs just £145 a year to tax and insurance group 13 means premiums shouldn't be too high. Condition wise PG04 HDY is fantastic. For your Peace of Mind this car has been RAC Inspected |
