BMW 3 SERIES TOURING (1998-2001)

We Say...
Fun, perky and practical, the 3 Series touring maybe, but it still doesn't have the same "on-the-limit" excitement as its sedan brother. In addition, the price is already reaching the almost too hard to ignore Volvo V70 (even when new). Nonetheless, this was the only Bimmer offered with a wagon body, so if it's your thing...
Driving dynamics don't take a back seat to practicality.
Pricey.  Too pricey.
