2006 BMW 3-Series Pros and Cons at TrueDelta: Owner Pros and Cons by spri
A member in Massachusetts, United States
Exterior styling
Maybe one of 2 or 3 best designed 4-door sedans.
Handling
Really fun almost all the time; has some sportscar feel under most conditions.
Powertrain performance
Very strong engine; with the rare-in-US 6-speed manual (common in Europe) lots of fun and a sense of safety from ability to do with auto whatever traffic requires.
Front seat support & comfort
Heated, 8-way, with lumbar control: seems to have comfort covered for most drivers (wheel does not telescope).
Ride smoothness
Handles most road irregularities well: almost never jars occupants, regardless of road conditions. Handles speed on interstates very well.
Price or payments
Especially when "packages" are included, can be very expensive, even in 325, 328 versions. Some packages force odd accessories to get useful ones.
