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.

  2006 330i - Beautiful Car - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Douger - February 21 - 7:38 am

  Car is the complete package. Sport & Premium Package. Love the wheels, looks and performance. Transmission is smooth. I owned a 1995 325i for 9 years and it was the best car I ever owned. This vehicle is very nice as well. Run flats arent cheap. $510.00 per tire at the dealership. Radio rocks, car handles great, looks outstanding and my wife steels it from me 3-4 days per week. We fight over this car. Lots of fun! Black on Black. Highly recommend this vehicle. After these run flats wear out may just switch to normal tires and a can of fix a flat. Outside run flats car is outstanding!

  Awesome Car - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By =D - February 17 - 12:00 pm

  This car is awesome. It has enough space to accommodate 2 adults in the front and 2 kids and a baby carseat in the back, along with 3 duffel bags, one giant bag, and 2 carry-on bags in the trunk. Going on I-5, we got from San Jose to Los Angeles on 1 tank of gas!! Best sedan ever.

  Very Pleased - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Jim - February 7 - 6:33 am

  So far so good. Just bought car in August. Very happy so far. Many features I never had before, all work great. Always bought GM cars. This car is much better. Fun car to drive. Rides great, solid. Much better paint finish. Nice looking. Feel special in it. Inside, rich expensive look. Enjoy just taking it for a ride with the top down, and radio playing. Looks speak for itself. Eye catching. Pleasant and quiet ride. Plenty of power, and holds the road very well. Brakes work great, you dont lean foward when stopping. Car stays level.

  Awesome - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By J - February 4 - 2:30 am

  The car is just awesome. It drives like a champ. The Auto DS mode always shifts right. You gotta have the sport and premium package. The bluetooth is really useful. Its very simple... it connects with you!

  Confirmed: Ultimate Driving Machine - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By K.H. - January 26 - 4:46 pm

  Prior to purchasing my 330i I owned a 528i, and the difference between the two cars is remarkable. I miss the comfort of the 528, but the performance, styling, features, and feel of this new 330 are, in a word, inspirational. Options I ordered include the premium, sport and cold weather packages. The cabin is nearly perfect, from the sports steering wheel to the aluminum trim. Handling and road feel are superlative; acceleration is wonderful. Like many others who have posted reviews of this car, I look forward to every next opportunity to drive!

  Now BMW for Life - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Zmann - January 25 - 1:55 pm

  Wow. Really glad I made the decision purchase this car. It is FAST. Much sportier than I would have thought of a heavy, 4-door. Nearly nothing can keep up with it on the road and its grip is insane. I waited a long time to find this car, and it was well worth it. It turns heads and kicks tail!

  Great Automobile - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Chris Marti - January 12 - 7:26 pm

  This was my first choice purchase and after looking at many, many competitors I know I was right to buy this great, great automobile. Its the perfect combination of luxury, style and performance. The iDrive is a good option, despite what many reviewers say about it, and make sure to get the Sirius satellite radio option. The traction and handling available from the all wheel x- drive option is perfect for Illinois winters.

  Sweet Ride - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Ray-Man - December 13 - 9:09 am

  Great car! 20K miles now and no problems. I love the run-flats but you wont, if you want a cushy ride. My dealer DID repair one with a nail hole and tires are wearing well. At least 5K left on them. After myriad expensive and seemingly unsolvable problems with my 99 Saab 9-5, this is welcome change and when my lease expires Im torn between buy-out and 335! I think seats are very comfortable and Im tall (64", 200).

  Exceptional! - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By charlieV - December 12 - 5:05 pm

  Wow. First beemer, but not my last. 21K incredible miles w/very few problems (rear lamp bulb & drivers side mirror motor). Smooth engine and auto transmission, shifts "like butter." Responsive... just point and shoot... it goes where you aim. 25K miles on the run flat Continentals and they look like theyll last to 50K+. Not sure why so many RFT complaints. Radio, Bluetooth, Homelink are flawless. Did I mention this car drives like a dream. Havent met an on- or exit-ramp I didnt like. Need to merge ahead of that 18-wheeler doing 80MPH, just floor it and drive, the lane now belongs to you.

  BMW Nut - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By BMWLVR - December 8 - 9:33 am

  I love this car. I traded in my 2001 325i for a similar 2006 with the sports package and manual transmission. I got black interior this time and it does show hand oil and smudges. So that can get a little annoying. But overall this is an amazing car.
