My experience has been very favorable. I am able to work on the car if I wish which saves money but that is with any car. Although when you are forced to take ANY car into a dealer for repairs they take you for all they can get. Best advice there is to do your home work, consult, and haggle. Parts are better purchased on line now days although there have been sometimes I have been pleasantly surprised buy from BMW part stores. When I first purchased it, it had the 100k warranty (parts and labor) which I took advantage of and made sure it was well taken care of. This was for mainly brakes and oil changes and odds and ends which were covered. I did have an issue with the drive train for a while of which BMW stepped up and took care of it. This car has plenty of power and luxury for the price. It is great to go on long trips and just cruise. Although it is a 2006 it looks just as nice as many of the newer cars today. When Driving In town the only draw back its the heavy steering when going slow (0-5 mph) range. With that said this car is made for driving and performing on the road and the heavy steering maybe due to the sport package that it is. Great and fun for mountain roads with great stability and responsiveness and a real cruiser on the freeway. The interior is all leather with a giant sunroof. Seats and steering wheel are all electric adjustable with memory, and has great appointments to the interior.Mine has privacy screens in the rear along with rear passenger temperature controls. The rear seats recline electrically for the passengers (not to many cars were this nice in 2006). The car is very well engineered and easy to work on. It was well thought out when need for repair and maintenance comes about.

I have had the following items serviced since I have owned the vehicle - valley pan, panoramic moonroof, and AC headunit. All items were covered under warranty. The interior personal space is extremely generous. The door openings are large and make getting small children in and out of car seats very easy. Rear cargo area is somewhat limited as a result however. I do like the clamshell hatch. Driving this vehicle is so much fun. It handles like a sedan and has plenty of power. It puts a smile on my face every time I get in. The styling is timeless, subtle but distinctive, I love it. The CPO warty, extd service, BMW 2 payments, and 0.9% financing made this a very attractive purchase.

Had a 03, 3.0 and loved it. Just bought a 4.4.Sport. Wow what a difference. BMW took out all the kinks from the old model. Real quiet inside, solid ride, agile, great acceleration. Get the sport package. Seats are more comfy. I drive this truck in n.y.c. Handles the roads unbeliveable. Fixed the annoying hatch rattle and now easy to remove rear cover. Expensive, but you get what you pay for. Gas mileage sucks. But what is perfect in life? If money is an issue you don't deserve to drive this truck, sorry...

This car is amazing, when it works. It's beautiful, sounds great, fast, has a ton of features, but if its over 100k miles prepare to repair, paying all along the way. Since I've bought this mean machine, I've had to fix it, not once, not twice, not thrice, but EVERY week since I bought it (I've had it six months.) Every week, like German clockwork (if the clocks were designed to break) I've had to build and rebuild this car. Head gasket, exterior door handle, side lights, interior door handle, head lights, cv joints, alternator bracket gasket (didn't even know there was such a thing) window regulator, just so many things one thing right after another. Don't buy one without a warranty
