Used 2006 BMW 3 Series Consumer Reviews
Would not purchase another BMW
In 2006 I purchase a new 325I. Have own many different type of cars and none have disappointed like this 2006 325I. Here is the history of the money pit; In 2006 I purchase a new 325I. The bad; head replaced, valve cover-broken bolts, door handle sticking, water pump, rear window replaced because of faulty defogger grid , rear windows sometime work, starter motor, ignition coils, less than 90k on my car. No more than a money pit. The Good; fun to drive. the car now has 125k on the clock, oil pan gasket replace, another starter, more broken valve cover bolts, oil filter housing gasket replaced. 2017 on the flat bed again with a bad hose fitting, not the hose the plastic fitting bolted to the head has disintegrated. You can not just get the fitting, part of the hose assembly. Cross over coolant vent pipe also disintegrated, i replaced with it with a copper line. Head bolts on cam chain end of head shear off like many bolts in the car. Motor mount bolts also sheared off. Upper radiator fitting started leaking. I also own a 07 Jeep liberty, 240k on the clock and just replace the standard stuff, alternator, water pump, fuel pump, two wheel speed sensors. Runs like the day it was new.

Almost Perfect
True to the hype, this car delivers. I've had it for 10 months and put over 15,000 miles on it already. Overall, it exceeds my expectations for a sport sedan in terms of handling and driver excitability. The brakes are fantastic and a valuable asset in city traffic. New styling is not over the top like some in its class, and definitely not too conservative. It has exterior styling that is not turning vanilla like some of its competitors.
You will not regret buying this car
Awesome car, I got the premium with the sport package or what not. I spent $45,000 cash - no finance. The car is great in all respects. Handling is unmatched in any car I've driven for the mid- century price point. I wish it was 300 HP but then I might have killed myself. The music system is the bomb. Car came with bluetooth and Ipod jack. Two power points. I got the all leather in gray. Still smells new after 42,000 miles.
You wish they still would build it....
car has always been garaged, no accidents, no smoker, handling is really great, sunroof, leather upholstery, HID headlights, CD player, very powerful in -line 6 cyl., automatic sport transmission,
