Saeed B
Reviewed a 2007 BMW 3 Series on 18 May 2025
The 2007 BMW 3 Series offers a great balance of performance, comfort, and reliability. The interior feels premium for its age, and the car still drives very smoothly. I think it’s excellent value for money compared to other models like the Audi A4 or Mercedes C-Class. Everything works as it should, and it feels solid on the road. It might not have modern tech like Apple CarPlay, but for a 2007, it’s more than enough.

Well specified car. Good features. Unusual these days in being a 2 door coupe. Strong engine. Could be quicker. Nothing a remap wouldn’t sort out.

The car had the features that I wanted it was reasonably priced but it wasn't very clean especially outside needed some paintwork here and there and a little more TLC just wasn't for me.

BMW 3 Series F30 (2012-2018) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Really rewarding to drive | More expensive than mainstream rivals |
| Superb interior quality | The Touring doesn't match a VW Passat Estate for boot space |
| Wide choice of punchy but efficient engines | No support for Apple CarPlay or Android Auto |
Quick Summary
The BMW 3 Series F30 (2012-2018) is the discerning driver's choice in the compact executive saloon class. Known for its rear-wheel drive layout and exceptional handling, it delivers a rewarding driving experience that sets the benchmark for dynamic excellence. The car combines lavish desirability with everyday practicality, offering generous space in both front and rear seats, a spacious boot, and the option of a Touring estate or Gran Turismo hatchback for even greater versatility. Its famous circular blue and white badge, sporty styling, and traditional BMW cues make it instantly recognisable and highly desirable.
A wide range of fantastic powertrain options are available, with both petrol and diesel engines in four- and six-cylinder formats, plus hybrid variants. The 320d is the most common on the used market, offering a fabulous balance of performance and economy. The interior quality is exemplary, with sophisticated equipment and the brilliant iDrive infotainment system. Running costs are reasonable, with diesel variants achieving 55-60mpg and petrol models around 40-45mpg. All engines feature a timing chain, reducing long-term maintenance costs. Whether you choose the saloon or Touring estate, the 3 Series offers excellent build quality, smart looks, and a premium feel that justifies its higher purchase price.
Best for: Discerning drivers seeking a premium, rewarding driving experience, those wanting a practical saloon or estate with excellent build quality, and buyers prioritising dynamic excellence and sophisticated design.
Not ideal for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking the lowest purchase price, those requiring maximum boot space (compared to a VW Passat Estate), or drivers needing Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BMW 3 Series | 5/5 | 4.4/5 | 34.1% | 4.5/5 |
| Mercedes-Benz C-Class | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 34.3% | 4.4/5 |
| Jaguar XE | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 32.1% | 4.4/5 |
| Audi A4 | 4/5 | 4.4/5 | 33.2% | 4.4/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the 3 Series if: You're a discerning driver seeking a premium, rewarding driving experience, want a practical saloon or estate with excellent build quality, or prioritise dynamic excellence and sophisticated design.
Consider alternatives if: You're budget-conscious seeking the lowest purchase price, require maximum boot space compared to rivals, or need Apple CarPlay or Android Auto support as standard.
Competitive Position: The BMW 3 Series F30 (2012-2018) stands as the class benchmark for dynamic excellence and driving engagement. Whilst the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Jaguar XE offer comparable user ratings and deal availability, the 3 Series' superior expert rating reflects its exceptional handling and rewarding driving experience. The Audi A4 provides a classy alternative, but the 3 Series' combination of superb interior quality, wide engine choice, and rear-wheel drive dynamics make it the standout choice for drivers prioritising performance and prestige. Its higher purchase price is justified by its exceptional build quality, smart styling, and premium feel.
