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.

  Love my new 330 - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Tim A. - April 19 - 1:13 am

  Ive got 1,200 miles on mine and I absolutely love this car. Traded a 2002 CTS. The 330 blows it away off the line. I love the sporty ride and all the tech gizmos. Only complaint so far is not enough storage space. I think BMW has hit a home run with this car

  What a Car!!! - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Ryan - April 2 - 8:50 pm

  I have owned 3 BMWs prior to my new 2006 330i including an 03 M3. This is by far the best BMW I have ever owned. The styling is modern, sophisticated and minimalist however no detail is overlooked. The I6 has tons of torque, provides smooth acceleration but yet is barely audible. The price is slightly higher than the cometitors.(If you consider them competition) You get what you pay for and if you are looking for a top notch sports sedan with incredible performance, ride quality and styling, look no further. This car is truly a masterpiece.

  By DSlyce - March 31 - 12:10 am

  I have owned a 330i sport premium with the manual transmission and I love it.. every option except iDrive/nav and no complaints except for the narrowness of the sport seats, Im 6 200 lbs and never feel totally comfortable in the seats.

  I love my 2006 330i - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Chris - March 5 - 4:40 pm

  This is a great car! I have always loved how fun it is. I love it even more now because I was stopped in traffic on the freeway and someone slammed in to me. You would not believe how well my car held up, I was able to drive it away while the other car was totalled and towed. My 5 year old was in the backseat and I was driving pregnant, and we came out great. I feel so safe in this car!

  Superb driving dynamics - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Tom - February 25 - 12:43 pm

  Excellent handling dynamics. Very planted and balanced at all speeds and very stable 75-85 Mph. Highway fuel economy 31-33 mpg. I have owned this vehicle for over a year with 30K miles on it. Buying a 2007 model with sport package. Keep options limited to premium package and automatic transmission. Xenon not a required option. Struggles with full load, fine with up to 2 occupants.

  Great Car - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Bigshot_90210 - February 1 - 9:53 pm

  Very happy with this purchase. Ride is great. Lots of nice features. Just took it on a 1000mi trip and it was by far the most comfortable road trip Ive ever taken. Handles corners comfortably at least 15 mph faster than my previous car.

  Great car minus run-flat tires - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Steve - January 11 - 4:33 am

  Bought a pre-owned 06 325i with Sport, Premium, etc. Car had 9500 miles at purchase. Had a 4 tire replacement worked into my deal as the tires were extremely loud. So, the noise is gone for now. Other than the tires, the car is outstanding. Build quality really jumps out at me. Handles very well and is extremely efficient, 31.7 mpg on the highway.

  Looks great, performes well, but ??? - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Rich C - January 9 - 4:27 am

  When it come to repairs, tires, and maintenance, it will cost you a bundle. However, if you want a ride that looks great at 10 years old, gets unexpectedly good mileage on the highway, drive well in the curves, and is nicely appointed, youll like it. You need to have confidence in your dealer and repair shop because you will see them way too often. Also, the run-flat tires are noisy, wear out quickly, and are rough riding. Its too much of a price to pay for not having a spare tire. If you fancy yourself a BMW driver, youll love this car. If its for tooling around town, get something else. It is a highway (autobahn) car!

  Happy 2006 325i owner - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By newbmw - December 22 - 12:13 pm

  I absolutely love this car. The new exterior design is sharp and in my opinion looks better than the older model... and I liked the look of the older models. The new design is hot and sporty. The added power is a nice bonus. Its loaded with standard features. Things I didnt have the last time I bought a car... mp3 player and power moonroof/sunroof just to name 2. Its only been a week and I cant stop driving... nearing 800 miles. =( But I love it.

  My First BMW! - 2006 BMW 3-Series
  By Suzanne - December 15 - 10:53 am

  I thoroughly enjoy my first BMW! I have a 2006 330i. Not only is it absolutely beautiful, but it drives like a dream and its very fast! I really have to keep watch on the speedometer! I was impressed with all the safety features. BMW went beyond what is necessary to make this a very safe car. Im short, so I fit in it fine. However, I can see how a larger person might find it a "small" car. Also, the rim around the bottom of the car is only a few inches from the road, so this part of the car stays dirty. I wish it was a bit higher. The tires are incredibly expensive, so I purchased wheel and tire insurance.
