CarGurus Analysis: 2019 BMW 3 Series
overall

Summary
With 226 currently listed for sale near Hartford, CT and an average price of $19,848, 33.2% of 2019 BMW 3 Series models for sale on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2019 BMW 3 Series 5 / 5 stars and CarGurus experts gave it an 8.17 / 10.
84.5% of 2019 BMW 3 Series models on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2019 BMW 3 Series stands out as a compact luxury sedan that leans hard into BMW’s traditional sport-sedan formula. It is described as trim and athletic, handsome yet stoic, with a premium character that remains central to its appeal. The car also benefits from BMW’s stronger software focus for 2019, which gives it a more modern feel without losing the core personality that made the 3 Series such an influential nameplate.
What makes this version especially appealing is that the updated software is paired with a car that is still considered pretty good overall. That combination gives buyers a familiar, well-regarded driving and ownership experience with a more advanced digital side. At the same time, the 3 Series faces a crowded field, since many other brands have copied its sport-sedan recipe and sometimes do so for less money, which is a reminder that its strengths are now competing in a much tougher market.

How much does the 2019 BMW 3 Series cost?
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Current Average Price | $20,655 |
| Year-Round Low | $20,182 |
| Year-Round High | $21,957 |
| Average Price a Year Ago | $21,912 |
| Change vs. Last Year | −5.74% |
Prices have softened 5.74% compared to this time last year, making it a favorable time to shop this model year.
There are 1,430 listings available, which gives you a solid pool of used examples to compare.
Is the 2019 BMW 3 Series a good car?
Yes — it earns a 5/5 user rating and an 8.17/10 expert rating. The standout strength is Technology at 10/10.
The 2019 3 Series fits the compact luxury sedan formula well: it is trim, athletic, handsome, and still centered on BMW’s sport-sedan identity. It also benefits from a stronger software focus for 2019, which gives it a more modern feel while preserving the core driving character that made the nameplate influential.
The market shows 33.4% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests you can still find worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.
Is the 2019 BMW 3 Series reliable?
Owners rate it 5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.
The 2019 3 Series is described as still pretty good overall, and its updated software adds a more modern ownership experience without changing the car’s basic formula. The engine is described as smooth, full of torque, and sweet-sounding, with the 8-speed automatic praised for its shifts and programming.
BMW also includes three years or 36,000 miles of maintenance and four years of unlimited-mile roadside assistance. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is that this is still a complex luxury sedan, so upkeep can become expensive if prior maintenance was neglected.
What should I look for when buying a used 2019 BMW 3 Series?
At 64.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report and then prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially on cars with higher mileage or visible cosmetic wear. Focus on condition, maintenance records, and whether the car still feels tight and well sorted on the road.
Key things to evaluate:
- Trim level: The standard Sport trim is the better value than the M Sport setup if you want to avoid paying for a firmer suspension, staggered summer tires, variable-ratio steering, and a widened body kit.
- Powertrain: The 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 makes 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque, and the 8-speed automatic is praised for its smooth, intuitive shifting.
- Safety package: The Driving Assistance Professional Package adds automatic steering around curves, even on two-lane roads, while blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree cameras, adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and Traffic Jam Assist are optional.
- Infotainment: The system includes over-the-air updates, customizable menu tiles, wireless Apple CarPlay, remote camera viewing, and a digital key option using an NFC-equipped smartphone.
- Fuel efficiency: The 330i xDrive is rated at 25 mpg city, 34 highway, and 28 combined; the rear-wheel-drive version is rated at 26/36/30.
Which 2019 BMW 3 Series trim should I buy?
The 2019 BMW 3 Series is offered in 2 trim levels: 330i and M340i.
Here's the short version:
- 330i: This is the trim most used shoppers should target. It delivers the core BMW experience with the strong turbocharged four-cylinder, the excellent 8-speed automatic, and the car’s standout tech without pushing you into the much pricier performance end of the lineup.
- M340i: This is the choice if you want the more powerful, near-M3 flavor and are willing to pay for it. It sits above the 330i and is the better fit if outright performance matters more than value.
The safety package note to keep in mind is that the Driving Assistance Professional Package is optional, so not every used example will have the most advanced driver-assistance features.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2019 BMW 3 Series?
This is a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you have room to shop, but the best cars can still move quickly.
- Deal availability: 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 1,430 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.74% compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 64.6% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $20,182, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2019 BMW 3 Series's resale value?
The current average of $20,655 sits slightly below last year's $21,912.
That decline suggests the market has already adjusted downward, which can help you buy more confidently today. For a future seller, it also means your resale outcome will depend heavily on condition, mileage, and equipment rather than just model-year desirability.
Because the 3 Series still has strong appeal as a compact luxury sport sedan, well-kept examples should remain easier to move than neglected ones. Vehicles with strong owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 5/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Is the 2019 BMW 3 Series safe?
The 2019 3 Series is a Top Safety Pick+ from IIHS.
It earns a 9/10 safety score from our experts.
The standard forward emergency braking and pedestrian detection help its safety case, and the optional Driving Assistance Professional Package adds automatic steering around curves, lane-keeping support, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, 360-degree cameras, and Traffic Jam Assist. The main caveat is that several advanced driver-assistance features are optional, so you will want to verify equipment carefully on any used listing.
Should I buy a 2019 BMW 3 Series or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2019 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2019 if:
- 33.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 64.6% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have softened 5.74% compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
- The 2019 stands out for its stronger software focus and excellent technology score.
Consider the 2020 if:
- At $24,015, the 2020 costs more than the current year's $20,655 average.
- It adds the M340i, which brings a more performance-focused personality.
The bottom line: If you want the better value, the 2019 is the smarter buy because it combines a lower average price with strong tech and solid safety. If you are willing to spend more for a sharper performance step-up, the 2020 is the better path.
