"The BMW 3 Series Touring has the same outstanding performance, economy and driving experience of the sedan, but it is more practical"
the BMW 3 Series Touring (that's how BMW name of his goods) below 30 years to has right now and during the current auto is slightly different from the original 1980s design, the principle remains the same: the excellent BMW 3 Series sedan take, add a larger and more versatile boat, but the inclusion of driving experience and hold
There. seems obvious now with the Audi A4, Volkswagen Passat and Mercedes C-class all sacrificing little in the way of driver enjoyment, while improving practicality, but BMW was the first manufacturer to show that you are not putting on with an uninspired driving experience, if choose a Kombi.
the 3 Series Touring with five diesel and four petrol engines, which will allow offered efficiency, performance, or a combination of both to set priorities. The 2.0-liter diesel in the 320d ED (Efficient) is the most economical, returning 65.7mpg (67.3mpg when combined with an automatic gearbox) and costs just £ 20 per year in road tax. The latter, thanks to its low CO2 emissions of 104g / km, which is placed in the 20% benefit-in-kind tax bracket for company car drivers. Despite these impressive figures, the 161bhp 320d ED is still pretty fast, with only 8.2 seconds to go from 0-62mph.

At the other end of the scale, while there is no benefit version of the 3 Series Touring (as in the M3 sedan), the gasoline engine 322bhp 340i sprints from 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds. It is offered the least efficient engine with the Touring, (to make road tax £ 185 per year) with the fuel consumption of 40.4mpg and CO2 emissions of 158g / km, but the performance on offer, taking into account, are reasonable, these figures ,
We encourage you to explore the center of the engine range as during the 340i is exciting, it is £ 15,000 more expensive than an entry-level 3 Series Touring also. The 320d ED is also because some compromised in the name of efficiency, light alloy wheels and trim levels are limited with this model.
The standard 320d our choice. It uses the same 2.0-liter engine as the Efficient Car, but creates an additional 26bhp, so the 0-62mph time reduced to 7.6 seconds. With fuel consumption of 62.8mpg and CO2 emissions of 109g / km, the standard 320d is to run slightly more expensive, even if the company car driver will pay an additional 1% Benefit-in-kind tax on the ED model.
on the road is the 3 Series Touring to go only as good as the sedan - and that's something compliment. The steering is precise and gives a lot of feedback (so you know how much grip have the front wheels), while minimal body lean in corners. Potholes, cat eyes and other imperfections traffic are nicely smoothed -. Although this is less true if you select bigger alloy wheels

, the six-speed manual transmission is smooth and supple to use, but the eight ~~ POS = TRUNC automatic is an excellent choice, as many choose buyers. The 3 Series Touring can also be specified with xDrive all-wheel drive system, if you need additional support, although this is about £ 1,500 added to the list price, while economy and emissions are reduced by about 10%, also.
Inside the image a little less rosy, but still impressive. The 3 Series Touring has a luxurious and well-built interior, with high quality materials - even if it has missed out in this area by the Audi A4 Avant, the more modern feel and has a particularly pleasing dashboard design. Space in the front is excellent, but the rear seats are a bit tight for adults, with the middle one is affected by a pronounced hump in the floor.
When the 3 Series Touring has an Achilles' heel, it's the boat. At 495 liters, it is only 15 liters larger than the sedan, and while the rear seats can be folded and the cargo area is much more practical than the four-door BMW, the Audi A4 and Volkswagen Passat Variant both have bigger boots (at 505 and 650 liters, respectively). None of these cars, the 3 Series Touring fit when it comes to driver involvement, though -. And yet, the Mercedes C-Class, the
Apart from the Efficient model offers a slightly smaller boat than the 3 Series Touring

While BMWs desirable cars, the certain cachet to keep the 3 series continue, it has a reputation for reliability. The 3 Series Sedan (which the Touring mechanically identical) was the 68th of 150 cars in our 2016 Driver Power customer satisfaction survey, with a disappointing 91st place finish for reliability. Although this result may be down in part to the high expectations that people have for BMWs, then keep in mind that if something goes outside BMW's three-year / unlimited mileage warranty, repairs expensive to tilt. There is no such qualms about the safety: the 3-series scored five out of five in its Euro NCAP crash tests, with excellent ratings in all four individual categories.
