Is base spec best? 2023 BMW 3 Series review: 320i sedan | Family of 3 tests Mercedes-Benz C200 rival

The 2023 BMW 3 Series is the perennial mid-size car in the premium segment - if you're a big fan of driving enjoyment. Rear-wheel-drive dynamics and a sporty chassis are a promising combination, after all.

Naturally, the Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4 rival put up a big fight, but the recently facelifted 3 Series is arguably the cream of the crop. But does that make it fit for families, who are generally flocking to SUVs, like the related X3?

In this expert review, CarsGuide Contributing Journalist Emily Agar and her family of three put the 3 Series' entry-level variant, the 320i sedan, through its paces to see if it's up for the task. And she also finds out whether the base model is all you need.
