Pros: Styling, safety, handling, bluetooth, & power. Overall good value for price.
Cons: Engine failure, questionable engine longevity.
The Bottom Line: Don't know if I would buy another BMW. Definitely not a 2006 3 series.
Bought my wife a 2006 325i a year and a half ago. She wanted something more luxurious than her Subaru 'golf cart' with 125K miles. Within a few days of purchase a sensor in the fuel system failed causing a check engine warning light. This problem was ...

Pros: performance and handling is superb.
Cons: see items 1 to 9 above.
The Bottom Line: For performance and handling, it's hard to beat a bmw. For other features (styling, ergonomics, etc.), there are many to choose from.
i have a 2005 330ci and a 2007 325i (chris bangle model). i don't like the 2007 model. here are my comments on the 2007 model: 1. the 2007 model looks the same inside as it does outside. if you don't like it outside, you won't like the inside. ...

Pros: Ride quality, handling, overall quality, looks, re-sale value
Cons: Price, you really need to research all the available options before you order.
The Bottom Line: If money is of consideration, opt for 325i. It is a great car.
I've had the car for 2.5 month now. Tried a number of competitors, but settled on 325i. In my opinion is the best deal for your $. If you need more power, you can transform 325 to 330 for a few thousand dollars. The car handles like a dream. It ...

Pros: Car is amazing!! Run and buy it
Cons: RUN FLATS AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
The Bottom Line: I think the car is great and gets good mileage, but avoid the run flat tires.
Hola All, I have had my car for about 9 months now and I love it. I bought a 330i loaded with sport/nav/lux everything but winter package. All in all the I-drive was a bit tought to deal with but the navigation has gotten me in and out of cities with ...

Pros: Engine, gas mileage, looks, wheels, ride, handling, ipod
Cons: cup holders, run flats, no spare
The Bottom Line: The 3 series is the best blend of sport and luxury on the market today.
Having owned a 2003 BMW 325i for 3 years and now being the owner of a 2006 330i, I think I can give an interesting perspective on this car. I would like to start off by saying that my epinions reviews are not about reciting dimensions and ...

Pros: Image.
Cons: Boring interior, average drive, sub-standard interior features.
The Bottom Line: For the money, you can get more car from Acura, Lexus, or even mid-level contender Honda. This isn't really a "luxury" sedan anymore.
I've been in love with BMW since I was handed my first license. At 35, this was the moment I'd waited for since I was 15. I test drove the BMW 325 and 330. 1. Ergonomics were below average. The "modern" design on the armrest for the driver door ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: handling around curves/corners, design, more spacious, smoothness of I6 engine
Cons: cupholders, storage space, expensive options
The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, after you try everything else, you will ultimately be driving this machine. It's that good.
Introduction So after 5 years, I'm back again to once again sing the praises of a BMW 3 series. This time it’s been redesigned and re-engineered and not surprisingly, it's even better. I'm going to make this review a potpourri. There will ...

Pros: Great ride and control. Comfortable all around! Terrible customer service.
Cons: A little low in head room on entering the door. Controls very criptic.
The Bottom Line: Great ride and control. Quiet and comfortable. Looks great too!
My wife and I were unfortunately involved in a serious accident when my wife lost control of our Acura Legend on the Highway near Truckee California. We ended up in a deep ditch. My wife was badly contused and I sprained my neck severely, was concussed ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: If you love to drive, there is still nothing like the ultimate driving machine.
Cons: Pricey, lacks power of competitors, the Germans still can't get the cupholders right.
The Bottom Line: If you absolutely, positively demand the best driving experience in a sports sedan which does not have an "M" on the back, accept no substitutes.
Introduction I have owned Japanese cars, Acura Integras, to be specific, for about fifteen years, and had a Nissan prior to that. All the cars were fun to drive and extremely reliable. I had also driven a few BMW's in my time, and clearly these ...

Pros: Eh?
Cons: These tires just don't work with the car. Do Not Buy This Car!
The Bottom Line: Do not buy a 2006 BMW 3-Series until they have solved this problem.
I've got more bad news about the run-flats on the 3-Series. In addition to the ride problems (which I can get over), they just don’t last very long. We have a 2006 BMW 330 with the stock Bridgestone run-flats and in addition to all of the other ...

Pros: Acceleration, handling, fit and finish are all exceptional.
Cons: Run-flat snow tires for the winter are necessary with the sport suspension.
The Bottom Line: Buy the 330i if you enjoy luxury driving without sacrificing performance.
2006 3-series is unbeatable. The low-end torque is often not found on comparable japanese cars like the Infiniti G-series or Lexus IS (even the new 350). Also, a true sports sedan deserves a manual transmission, and the comparable 3.2 Audi A4 is only ...

Pros: handling, performance, interior, iDrive technology
Cons: price, options very expensive, cramped interior, confusing controls, reliability issues
The Bottom Line: Still the best sports sedan on the market today- BMW keeps improving the ultimate driving machine.
I own a 1996 BMW 328is and have driven the 2004 BMW 330i before. Both great cars. Well had to try out the newest 2006 BMW 325i for a test drive. Overall much improved for the most part over last 3 series. Loved it. Major improvements nicer creature ...

Pros: Comfort, power, drive, smooth transmission -EVERYTHING
Cons: Dealers can't keep them on the lot and you have to wait to get one.
The Bottom Line: Buy this car, you will thank yourself every day. It makes the daily drive feel relaxing & refreshing.
The body is beautifully designed, beefier and slightly larger than previous 3 series. The lines are the car make it look like a piece of fine art. I have to admit that I got suckered into this car because of some creative marketing by BMW. I ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: -Stiffer chassis major improvement over E46
-Larger gauges
-Logic 7 rocks
-Torque curve phenomenal
Cons: -BMW pricing for options
-Standard sound system stinks
-Traditional BMW reliability pitfalls
-Tight interior
The Bottom Line: I would recommend the car. Overall it's a big improvement over the previous generation, though not quite perfect.
UPDATED April 2007 Introduction I have owned a 2004 “E-46” 325i with Sport and Premium package for three years now and I love it, for the most part. However, this review will focus on the new body style “E-90” 3 series, ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: nice styling, athletic handling, affordable luxury
Cons: iDrive, options are pricey, you'll pay sticker the first model year
The Bottom Line: Wow, this is an amazing deal for this level of performance--assuming you can keep your options list in check. This $30k performer can become a $40k shocker pretty quickly.
Introduction I went to the dealership and test drove the new 2006 BMW 3 series. I am not in the market for a new car and test driving cars is not something I do often. One word: Amazing. Review I test drove the 325. I don't see the ...
