2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
My wife and I love driving our 330-I. We have had the car about 18 months,and have approximately 17,500 miles on it. We took delivery at BMW's South Carolina delivery center, and would highly reccomend the experience to anyone purchasing a BMW. We are, I'm sure, far out of BMW's target demographic, being in our late 60's, but we both agree this is the best all around car we've had(and we've owned,among others,three Mercedes and one Porsche).

THE HANDLING IS SUPERB. THE OLDER 330I I HAVE IS A LITTLE LESS POWERFUL AND IT LACKS THE 6 SPEEP TRANSMISSION, THIS IS A GREAT DRIVING CAR.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
I WOULDNT PUT RUN FLAT TIRES ON IT.

figure out a way to keep the parking lot rash off the sides and upgrade the paint. I have more nicks on the 06 in 10 M than I have on our 04 in 25M also dump the stupid i drive. I fly jets for a living and find I have more trouble trying to figure out how to use the over priced gps in the 06 than in an airplane..for 600 bucks you can purchase a great garmin nuvi350 that any dummy can turn on and use.. try that with the mickey mouse gps in a bmw with idrive..for only $2060.00

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW 3-Series?
Generally speaking, it's a beautiful and well built automobile. The fit and finish is excellent. Unfortunately, the handling is severely compromised by the run flat tires and t he inability to substitute regualr tires in their place. What was once an almost perfect car is now simply OK.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
In addition to the run flat tire problem, the sattelite radio is only mediocre and acknowledged as so by BMW. "Sorry but Sirrius only has a limited number of sattelites". I was trying yto figure out why BMW would contract with Sirrius if that is the case.
2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
Dry handling on flat roads is excellent. Handling on bumpy or pitted roads borders on flat out dangerous. Hail to the BMW chairman for choosing to save money by using run flats and compromising the safety and performance of the 3 series in the process. DOES THE AUDI "UNINTENDED BRAKING" PROBLEM RING A BELL TO ANYONE???

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW 3-Series?
My 330xi sedan is well-designed and engineered. The all wheel drive is superb and the handling, with the sport package and 18 inch tires is certainly a match for my M3.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW 3-Series?
The only reservation I have is the size of the M90 series. It is significantly larger than my 1999 M3. As I considered a 550 Sport I don't feel much difference in size when behind the wheel. BMW shouldn't over-Americanize its products.

cheap plastic around the cupholders; add mechanical oil dip stick
2006 BMW 3-Series Review:
Phenomenal handler. Interior is tight but sufficient. Controls are nice but overly complex, especially the turn signal quirk-stalk. Interior quality is excellent except for a cheap piece of plastic in the center of the central console.
