Editorial view:

The BMW 320d diesel model has a four-cylinder 2.0 Litre diesel engine with 190 horsepower, a 0-60 time of just 7.1 seconds and a top speed pegged at 149 mph. It's available in either Saloon or Touring (Estate) body types. Each version can be finished in a choice of three trims: SE, Sport, and M Sport. In Saloon form with SE trim, the 320d diesel has a RRP price of around £34,000, while the Touring estate version costs £1,500 more. Also available is a mild hybrid engine option which uses a small additional electric motor and battery to boost the car at lower speeds such as when pulling away from a standstill, and recoups some of this energy while driving. It saves you around 5 mpg on your fuel bills, so if you're a high mileage user it might be worth it.

The 2020 320d might have a price tag that is around £2,000 higher than that of the equivalent petrol model, the 320i, but it is worth taking into account the likelihood of the diesel having a higher resale value after three years, as well as the fact that the diesel offers slightly quicker acceleration. Ultimately, the decision to choose either the 320i or 320d models will come down to personal preference and the mileage covered, since both models deliver the excellent performance, flexibility and premium quality you would expect from the BMW 3 Series.

The 320d is perhaps one of the biggest selling cars in the entire UK new car market when fleet sales are taken into account.
