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.

  BMW ROCKS WITH AWD - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By TC - November 2 - 10:36 am

  Love it, tested the 5 series and liked it but the cost was not worth the difference in auto. 325 xi handles great in the snow of Wisconsin. Get the power seats!

  Ditch run flats, then a great car - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By BMW love, hate - September 10 - 4:26 am

  I dreamed of owning a BMW for years. I finally bought a used one with 11,000 miles on it last year. What a disappointment. The road noise was horrible and the ride rough. I actually tried to take it back but couldnt. About 3 months ago, my wife got a flat tire and I decided to replace all four tire with regular tires. What a difference. We both love the car now. Ride is quiet and smooth. Totally different car. I bought a new rim and had one of the old run flats put on it and keep it in the trunk as a spare. I also bought a compact jack. Sure it takes up a lot of room and adds weight, but thats a small price to pay for totally changing this car from one I hate to one I love!

  First 1000 Miles Update - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By DR - September 2 - 3:16 am

  Still very impressed by the vehicle. Drives like a dream, very quiet, smooth, a lot of fun to drive. Absolutely no problems so far. Would recommend it to everybody! Just a note about the price (for those G35 people), when you add the options to your G35 that base Bimmer already has, they almost cost the same, maybe $1k difference. I would pay extra $1k for a Bimmer any time over any Japanese (American, Korean...) car.

  Six months with the 330xi - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By T Wills - August 22 - 10:43 pm

  A lot of fun for the money. All wheel drive that is rear wheel biased makes it corner like a champ in all weather, and more fun to drive. I live in the mountains of PA and it is as quick as I ever need it to be (ask the nice state policeman who gave me a huge break, thanks man!). The 330 will eat alive the Audi and MB in its class. Very nice fit and finish and the new body style is great! I love the car (named Gunther by my kids) more and more each day. BMW sold me.

  A Perfect 10 !!! - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Buster - August 12 - 10:46 pm

  I have owned a 325i and a 528 before, but this is clearly the best BMW I have driven. BMW still has the best quality of any car I have seen, and the new design provides a bolder and sportier look. The structural and safety improvements are a step ahead of any comparable competitor. If you live in a colder area, the winter package is a great investment as well. You will not be diappointed with this car, worth every penny!

  BMW 330i Sedan - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Mike Gentry - August 5 - 9:30 pm

  This is the best BMW I have ever owned. The last trip I went on (most inter-state driving), I averaged 33.6 mpg. The car is very quiet and handles great. I totally enjoy it.

  Impressive 330i Sport - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Richard - August 5 - 12:50 pm

  I have owned this car for seven months and it still never fails to impress me with its performance and economy. My car has the Sport package and adaptive steering and hugs the road better than my Porsche 911. On a recent trip to DC I averaged 32+ MPG. It is my first BMW, but will be a family member for many years to come !!

  06 BMW 330i one of the best - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Lifehope - July 22 - 5:13 pm

  The bottom line is that special feeling of being in touch with the road. That seat of the pants feel of just fun to drive. There is just no other way to explain it. Everything about the car seems to be designed to give you that feel of the road. Acceleration, brake performance, road control are all there. BMW has began to recognize the need for that feel of added luxury. The interior catches the eye and the seats are comfortable to sit in. The exterior holds its own when compared to similar models. It is a nice looking car. No one will regret owning this automobile.
