BMW 3-serie used-car check
3 Series used cars range from frugal to sporty; service history is decisive.
Indicative price range
Indicative: about €5,000–€40,000+ by generation (E90/F30/G20) and engine.
Price ranges are indicative and not an appraisal or purchase advice. Market prices change.
What to check
- Oil leaks, cooling, auto behaviour
- Lease cars: tyres/brakes/interior
By year / generation
- Generation code (F30 vs G20) sets cost profile — not only ‘3 Series’
Reliability (general)
- Well-maintained BMWs can last; deferred maintenance is expensive
Every car is an individual. Always start with a plate check on open RDW data (APK, NAP, recalls, WOK).
