BMW 3 series is not anywhere near as large (interior space) as a Avalon,
or
even a Camry. No one should be buying an Avalon unless they need space for
5
adults on a regular basis--A Camry XLE V6 would be just as good, and an
ES350 would be better (for just a few thousand more).
Small to medium size drivers who don't have adults in the rear seat very
often, would enjoy a BMW 3 series, but the reliability is relatively poor
compared to a Camry and repairs are very expensive. You would need at
least
a BMW 5 series to approach the interior size of a Camry, and a 7 series to
approach the interior size of an Avalon.
