The BMW 320i is one of the most popular models in the 3 Series, thanks to its satisfying combination of efficiency and performance. With a 184 bhp turbo-charged petrol engine, the 320i Saloon can reach a maximum speed of 146mph on a test track, and can accelerate from 0 to 60mph in just 7.2 seconds. The model’s fuel efficiency is uncompromised by the high performance, at around 47 mpg, and its CO2 emissions remain at 138g/km. Available fitted with a choice of four specs: SE, Sport and M Sport, the BMW 320i petrol model provides a variety of features and specifications, which can be configured to suit any budget or design preference.

Even with the basic SE trim, the 320i contains a considerable number of ergonomic features, such as rear parking sensors, dual-zone air conditioning and Bluetooth connectivity as standard. By upgrading to the Sport or M Sport trim, buyers will get larger alloy wheels, Sport seats and an abundance of refined exterior details. At the top of the range, the Luxury spec provides another level of elegance, with Dakota leather upholstery and Fineline Anthracite dashboard trim, making the 320i feel incredibly sophisticated and a delight to drive.

There is also a four-wheel drive xDrive version of the BMW 320i, which has slightly higher emissions and petrol consumption, but provides incredible traction and even better handling than the rear-wheel drive version. The price is also slightly higher for the xDrive 320i, and many buyers will be happy to pay the £1,500 premium for the added wet weeather grip and performance. The xDrive 320i version is also likely to attract a greater resale value, with higher specifications receiving more interest on the used market.
