you should be able to use the standard filters (performance, engine size, body style, gearbox etc) and then just select 3 series - especially if you are, like me, looking at both N54 and N55 variants of the 335i which spanned multiple year models.

i know i can select all the years that are relevant but i'm not a BMW fanboi that knows all that st off the top of my head.

i consider myself fairly knowledgeable on cars and that lot looks a fking minefield, especially when trying to set up simple alerts.

god knows what it looks like to some non car dude who wants a 3 series and doesn't wanna spend any more than £10k.

You could try typing BMW 335i into the keywords search box

Look, if you're gonna be all logical and stuff how the hell do you expect me to argue with you?

Sorry, but FWIW I find PH’s list of categories very useful – eg, it’s easier and quicker to search compared to Autotrader’s inaccurate mire.
