The cars use two basic different target groups – the Seat those who want a passable and well-usable combination with a slightly sporty touch for a fair price, the BMW is those who care about money and who are willing to accept a relatively narrow car and a rather moderate value-oriented combination, just because it is a BMW.
A clear recommendation cannot be given which one has both cars as good used in identical good condition with similar running performance. There decide price, subjective preference and impressions during a test drive. The car you buy has to sit like a custom suit – if not, it doesn't. I would therefore both rehearse and then see how it is with the cost.
A friend of mine, by the way, moved from a 3-series BMW touring (E46 from about 2005) to the Seat Leon ST (Sportstourer) years ago and was so satisfied that after four or five years she bought the same again. She's still driving him, and her next one's gonna be a seat.

I would definitely take the BMW 3 tour!
Our son drives a BMW 320i Touring (E91) and is totally satisfied with it.
