Buying a 2006 325i -- Any advice?

[zinbiel]

Hello everyone. I'm looking at a 325i with the Sport Package. I drove this car and it was awesome. I also love the look of the paint (black sapphire) and the handling, as well as the interior finish.

I'm wondering if any of you owners of this car can offer information on its reliability during the time you've had it. Have there been any major or minor issues that have plagued you at all?

This will be my first new car. So, any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I picked up my 325 in September and have about 16K miles so far. Not a single problem to date.

You might consider waiting for the 2007 328i. Just a thought.

Not true.
All the 3 series vehicles are going to share the new engines, bothe coupe and sedan. There will no longer be 325 or 330, only 328i and 335i. It has been posted all over this forum as well as others like e90post.com. Check it out.

So then my statement regarding the 325 is TRUE. ;-)
