Used 2006 BMW 3 Series 325i 4dr Sedan (3.0L 6cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
75k miles later - I still love my car!
This is my third BMW 3 Series, and after five years of ownership and 75,000 miles I still love to drive my car. It still handles beautifully, jumps up to 85 mph in a flash, and takes the curves as if its hugging the rail. Gorgeous car in and out. Love it, love it, love it! Every time I think about getting that new convertible, I remember I still love my car and I'm not quite ready to part with it. Maybe next year...

Maintenance costs, even for routine things, are high. Also requires premium gasoline. But I love the handling and the power. The overall design is very nice. The bad is the low front end which tends to catch on parking barriers and get scratched on curbs.

Best car I've ever had!
Hand's down this has been the most reliable car I've had. I've been driving it nine years, put over 100k miles on it, and only routine maintenance and repairs in those years. It's stylish, has good visibility, and great trunk space storage. Gas mileage is pretty good for a 6 cyl automatic, highway mileage is really good. I've really enjoyed this car.

Great driving car
We thoroughly enjoy our 2006 BMW 325i sedan. Ours has a sport package, which includes larger wheels (looks nice), sport steering wheel, but most important is the sport seats. Dual power seats with power side bolsters and manual seat bottom extenders. Compared to our 2009 328i (Premium - no sport), the seats on the '06 are so much better. The ride comfort isn't as good as the '09, but it's still good for a performance sedan. The fit and finish is still good, materials are very well made and have held up well. Paint still looks good, except for the repainted bumpers from a parking lot ding (factory paint is so much better than a body shop repair). Overall, we're very happy!
Use but still great
I purchase my BMW used with 79,000 miles. I have a new Mercedes c class, a Lexus is 250. The Mercedes was a very good car. The Lexus had nice features but when you add in the frequent maintenance unrotatable tires and lack drive quality when if comes to the feel of the car. At 80,000 miles the BMW has a better quality feel than the Lexus. I can't knock the Mercedes, when you compare Mercedes and BMW its more a matter of taste, they are just different. In comfort and road handling Mercedes has a softer feel which some people like more. To me BMW is just more suited to a person who love to drive and the feel of the car and the road as one.
