Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Very good looking and sexy!
Well made and safe to drive.
Xenon lights are very fancy!
I love the sonora metallic exterior color. Almost like gold color, only better!
Great handling and very smooth ride!
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Same with the other owners comment. Run flat tires must go and better cup holders but I can live with them. I didn't buy the car for cup holders!
2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
People seems very jealous and hostile about the car. Some loser purposely scratch the car with a key while it's parked outside the supermarket although it was parked away from the crowd.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Balanced performance: superb handling, silky inline 6-cylinder engine (seems more powerful than its 215hp rating), great driving feel with rear-wheel drive plus 50/50 weight distribution.
Solid construction, classy exterior & interior design and materials. Even the Steptronic automatic is smooth and does not detract from the driving experience (spoken from a manual-shifter fanatic too).
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Best in Class, but not perfect: make some "options" standard for the price (intelligent key fob, real leather, etc).
Needs better cupholders and more storage areas.
Turn signals are tricky to get used to.
Biggest mistake: heavy/loud/expensive run-flat tires with NO spare. I read that many owners are switching to cheaper & quieter normal tires plus two cans of Fix-A-Flat.
Fortunately I don't have I-drive, but from what I've read it's still a pain to use.
2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
Core BMW virtues shine through, even in my base 325i sedan with automatic. Still the benchmark for all other sport sedans to aim for.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Superb handling, improved power in the 2007 335I.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Work the bugs out of the new engine. Improve visibility for the controls (impossible to read if wearing sunglasses).
2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
I have owned this car for 5 months and it has been in the shop for a month and a half with engine problems. Cold start hesitation/misfire, rough idle and possibly the worst customer service I have ever received from any auto manufacturer.
