2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by marcu****

Feature availability

They are very practical, it has several options that you never knew even existed, yet they become second nature. Active steering, tilting passenger mirror, and adaptive headlights simplify the driving experience and let the driver enjoy the road.

Safety & braking

Adaptive braking adjusts depending on the throttle, so in those unexpected close calls the car is more prepared than you might necessarily be. Safety features are incredible, not only is the driver protected, the car itself is designed to minimize damage.

Dealer practices

Service advisors take care of you and then some, they will perform complimentary procedures as necessary even when not requested of them. They provide you with a loaner car almost always.

Price or payments

The price of a new 3-Series is on the rise, in turn increasing the average payment and making it harder for some to justify the $50-60K cost of a midsize sedan.

Rear seat room & comfort

The rear seats are comfortable, but due to the size of/shortness of the car there is not much legroom, a full size adult will have trouble getting their feet into the footwells. Mind you, the trunk space is immense for such a small car.
