Is the 2005 BMW 3 Series a good car in terms of fuel consumption? I'm looking at a second hand one.

Hi Frances,

If you mean a 320d diesel then yes, it's excellent. You should expect to get at least 45mpg in daily driving, a little more if you're careful.

If it's a petrol 318i or 320i then it'll be a little more thirsty but 35mpg on average should still be do-able.
