Used BMW 3 Series Cars for Sale
Why should I go for a used BMW 3 Series?
Get a great deal on a used BMW 3 Series from the Big Motoring World range. With BIG value buy-now and finance deals available on hundreds of BMW 3 Series used cars, you're in the right place to get one of the world's best executive saloons at a price that you'll love.
If driving experience matters to you when buying a new car, there aren't many options in the mainstream market that offer a better balance of performance, driving dynamics and refinement than a BMW 3 Series.
The German manufacturer's flagship best seller, the 3 Series embodies everything that makes the BMW roundel one of the most desirable badges on the planet. A master of all trades, the 3 Series' superb all-round package is headlined by the most engaging drive in the segment - something that has made it a true car lover's car for the near-half-century for which it's been in production.
Available as a saloon or Touring (estate) option, you'll find hundreds of used BMW 3 Series models available in our range. Visit your nearest Big Motoring World location today or browse our full BMW 3 Series used car range online right away.
The BMW 3 Series finds itself near the top of the UK's used car sales charts pretty much every year - and with good reason. Here's why a used BMW 3 Series could be the right next car for you.
Excellence inside and out
The 3 Series saloon is arguably BMW's most iconic design ever. Instantly recognisable and brim full of kerb appeal, there's plenty of substance to match the style on a used BMW 3 Series, both inside and out.
The four-door 3 Series serves up all sorts of fantastic exterior design features like black window surrounds, two-tone rear lights and a flowing, aerodynamic body shape. The deep front bumper and famous kidney-shaped grille emphasise the sporty pedigree of this legendary vehicle.
Inside, you'll find a host of classy touches among the spacious interior, like solid metal door handles, response driver controls, and a soft, plush cabin trim for an upmarket feel. The smart driver-oriented design delivers the ultimate driving experience, to which you can add more practicality by going for the five-door Touring option.
Pocket-friendly power
A range of powerful diesel and petrol engines are available with the 3 Series, including the all-wheel-drive xDrive drivetrain. Even before you get the performance-focused 'M' models, top-speed figures for the 3 Series sit at around the 155mph mark - yet you might be surprised by how frugal the 3 Series can be.
The 318i M Sport Saloon boasts up to 45mpg depending on conditions and driving style, while the 2019 plug-in hybrid 330e harbours an electric-only range of 41 miles - outstanding numbers for an executive saloon built around its driving qualities. This pocket-friendly economy doesn't eat into performance or driver engagement, either, with the 3 Series' handling and driving dynamics undeniably the best in its class.
Tailored trims, generously equipped
The entry-level SE trim offers plenty of standard kit like adaptive LED headlights, all-round parking sensors and a reversing camera. Switch up to the M Sport trim for sharper exterior styling and glossy exterior trim. Leather upholstery and the M Sport leather steering wheel ramp up the sophisticated vibe.
