The BMW 3 Series is a compact executive saloon car that's both fantastic to drive and surprisingly cheap to run. It has a wide range of rivals, with the most obvious ones being the Mercedes C-Class and Audi A4. However, the 3 Series also competes with the Lexus IS, Infiniti Q50 and impressive Jaguar XE - and it's a close-run thing deciding whether the Jaguar or the BMW is better.

Just personal, but I still think this is the most beautiful Sport Sedan (or Sport Saloon if you prefere) on the market. Btw, 3-cylinders petrol is not good, better going for the 4-cylinder or still better the Diesel one. I also hope they won't convert the 3-series in a front-wheel drive car like they will do with the 1-series in 2016

I actually cannot get enough of that ''old'' dash (2012 = old now??!). Imo it just has a timeless yet modern simplicity to it; none of those crazy uber-curvations and bow lines in the new C Class. So easy on the eye the post 2012 3s.

Great review, as always! In future reviews, would it be possible to demonstrate boot space by fitting a set of golf clubs? For example, do they fit in longitudinally, sideways, or do you have to fold one of the rear seats? I have not grasp of how big/small 10 cu ft is. Cheers!

@Carbuyer , Should I get the petrol version instead? And 1.6 litre will do? Secondly, Like U said, Auto version is better, problem occurs when the battery dies which on the manual u can push start it whereas, Auto U need the plugs... Your thinking?

Think I'll stick with my 2015 335GT for another year or 2 and then upsize significantly. Came from an X5M and 750Li, and to be honest, the 3 series just feels cheap. All the hard plastics on the dash feels like an American econobox, and the Dakota leather feels worse than the standard vinyl. Plus, the damn thing rattles with barely 7k miles on it. I do like the 3.0l turbo motor and the ZF 8 speed. The Adaptive suspension is pretty good, and the MSport brakes are better than the brakes my 7 had. It was rather pricey though. Sticker on my car was over $63k US. Can't help wondering if I could have gotten a better car for the money. I most likely will not get another 3 series in the future. An AWD M3 could change that, but unlikely. I'm waiting for the upcoming AWD M5.
