Overview

The BMW 3 Series performs well in terms of gas mileage among luxury small cars, ranking 4th out of 35. This suggests it is one of the more fuel-efficient options in its category. However, when considering its suitability for moms, specifically in the luxury compact and small car categories, it doesn't fare as well, ranking 6th out of 7. This indicates that while the BMW 3 Series excels in fuel efficiency, there may be other luxury compact and small cars that offer more appealing features for mothers.
