Overview & Reviews

The BMW 3 Series sedan and wagon have been completely redesigned for 2006. Major highlights include new features, more powerful engines, a slightly larger interior and the incorporation of BMW's latest exterior styling elements. The 3 Series coupe and convertible are unchanged this year but will eventually move over to the new platform being used for the sedan and wagon; expect to see a new hardtop convertible for the 2008 model year.

• Still the standard when it comes to perfectly sorted vehicle dynamics, high-quality interior materials, wide range of configurations to suit any style, available all-wheel drive for sedan and wagon.

• Still costs more than most of its competitors, lacking in interior storage space.

  BEST BMW EVER - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By J D - April 3 - 11:03 am

  My 06 330i just arrived after 7 weeks of waiting and it was worth the wait. The Bluetooth phone is incredible, navigation is great and iDrive is so easy to use. The courtesy door lights is an awesome feature and the brakes are the best in any car I have driven. Get the sports and premiums packages.

  6-month review - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By DR - March 19 - 2:16 am

  Ive had this car for about 6 months and I still get excited to get in and drive as I did the first day I got it. Excellent car. Compared to the vehicles I had before (Honda, Toyota, VW Passat, Golf, Mazda), this is a completely different feel. I would definitely recommend it to everyone. Absolutely no issues after 6 months. If youre so concerned about the tires, get the replacement plan.

  Love it! - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Chicago - March 13 - 10:43 pm

  Hands down the best (luxury class) car Ive ever had. Prem & cold weather pkgs; automatic trans. 6-gear transmission is absolutely seamless. The engine feels more powerful than 215hp and simply sings. In Sport-Drive mode (for auto trans), the trans lags by approx 2 seconds, resulting in an incredibly sporty feel. Turning radius is tight making parking garages a breeze. It corners as if on rails. Interior: Seats are extremely comfortable, especially with the adjustable lumbar support. Quieter (less road/wind noise) than expected given some reviews out there. Bottom line: Perfect combination of power/performance & head-turning looks. BMW says it best: the ultimate driving machine.

  Perfect except fuel economy - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By jerry - March 1 - 3:46 am

  This is my second BMW and this one is hands the best I have driven. The complete redesign is incredible, I like this one better than that 5 series and the old 325 Xi I had before this one. The only thing that keeps this car from perfection is the fuel economy but there is no way to have this performance with fuel economy.

  LITTLE ROCKET - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By JJ - February 14 - 1:53 pm

  I have been driving Toyotas & Hondas now for about the last 10 years & I can tell you there is no comparison to this 330i. With the cost of those well equipped Japanese cars rising "by all means spend a tad more to get this little rocket!" This BMW is fun to drive, stylish, quick, & has an awesome sound system. My only complaint is the Nav system - a little too complicated for me to use when in a hurry - but I sure like the video display for the radio & CD.

  I have had this car for about a month. It drives wonderfully. It is a very quiet ride. The handling is awesome.

  Have had my 325i for 2 weeks and I absolutely love it. Used to drive the Maxima SE and they just dont compare. The BMW quality is second to none

  Unbelievably fun to drive - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By MadJoe - January 29 - 7:36 pm

  I have to say that I was expecting a lot when I ordered this car. And I wasnt disappointed. Its everything I could imagine and more. Driving has never been so enjoyable, and Ive always loved to drive. The comfort access is a must have option, as is the sport package and Xenon headlights. Its not a BMW w/o the tell tale headlight "halos". I love the look of the new 3 series, and the fit & finish is all, if not more than I would expect in a $40k car.

  Wow - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By MKM - December 18 - 9:50 pm

  After 30 years owning Japanese designed cars & trucks (240-Z, Corolla, Maxima, Accord, Legend, 4-Runner, IS-300, ES- 330) this is our first German car. It is as much fun to drive as my 240-Z was: smooth, linear, predictable. I hear it will not be as reliable and will cost big bucks to maintain and repair but it sure is a blast to drive!
