What reviewers say
Reviewers agree the 3 Series Touring is one of the best-driving estates, comfortable yet agile, with a practical boot, an upmarket interior and excellent infotainment. The common criticisms are high prices once option packs are added and a firm ride on M Sport versions; What Car? found the boot small for the class, and Auto Express found the plug-in hybrid less sharp to drive.
