1000 dollar a month club

We’ve had this car for many years but lately things have been going south Radiator exploded all gaskets had to be replaced. Starter went out and it happens to be at the top of the motor so the entire top of the motor had to be removed to replace it.

Don't buy unless you are handy with a wrench or have deep pockets!!

Wonderful vehicle to drive when it is running correctly. Be warned, they aren't the most reliable cars and they are not cheap to fix. Be ready for warning lights on the dash and repair bills. I am fortunate enough to have the knowledge to do my own repairs, but those that do not should know!

BMW's run and drive great, but

My 2006 325i has 82k miles on it and I've had to fix the memory mirrors, the trunk seal, the windshield seal, all the oil seals on the engine, the trim around the doors is falling off and needs to be replaced, the window regulators have had to be changed on both rear windows. If you're looking to buy one of these cars, have it checked out thoroughly, because all of these things are expensive to fix. Like I said drives and runs great, but all of the other things need to be engineered a lot better to stay up with the Asian imports. I have to say my 2004 Jaguar XJR had barely any things that needed to be repaired compared to my 325i.

Electric Water pump went out twice in 5 years.

I've had my car for 7 years and I haven't had too many problems. However, my electric water pump went out twice in 5 years. That was expensive.

Great fun to drive, but awful to maintain

Exactly as the title reads. Acceleration and handling are great fun. Maintaining a vehicle designed to be cared for only by those who paid their dues in deutschmarks is a tremendous pain in both the butt and the wallet.

Oil leaks and small problems

As has been noted many times, these cars are prone to oil leaks. My daughter's 325i only has 78k miles on it and has had major oil leaks on the oil pan, oil filter stand and cam covers when I first got it and things like the washer pump went bad and a recall for faulty wiring. The oil leaks were a major expense as the engine had to be lifted off the subframe to get the pan off to replace the seals and that was very labor intensive and expensive for a car with only 74K miles on it at the time. It runs and drives great, but BMW needs to engineer better seals for their engines and not require special oil to keep them from leaking. Overall, a good car with expensive small problems.

2006 3 series

This is my 2nd BMW that I've owned. I love the comfort and handling of the car. I bought it used with 100,000 miles and I've put on 30,000 in 2 years. Only added cost were brakes, oil changes and differential fluid change because its all wheel drive. Highly recommend to do.

Great car.

My 2006 325xi six speed manual is an amazing car. And, at 16 years young, it has nearly All the features of today's vehicles. Including a dual sunroof, and AWD! She runs great!! She has an In-line six cylinder motor (BMW's best) with 198k plus miles; and I haven't had any major issues with the overall performance. I don't drive her everyday, but if I had to, I would. I love this car!

Excellent car for the money. Solid build, very responsive, yet comfortable for the long drives. Powerful V6 engine, yet very good in gas for a V6. Very reliable car.

I'm certain I will always own a BMW

My BMW 330i is the second BMW I've owned. My other one had over 300,000 miles and a mechanic were i have it service bought it off me. Best car I ever had so decided to to get another. Why change when these cars preform so well. Some may complain about repairs / parts being high dollar but I have had far less repairs on my BMW than on several other vehicle I have had in the past.
