2006 BMW 325i Review // Manual E90 

Surprising my son with a 2006 325i for Christmas. 109k, one owner. Full service history. All new front and rear suspension, bushings, control arms, etc. new brakes all around and new tires. Perfect paint, perfect interior. Bluetooth, automatic. Getting it for $5500.

my uncle passed down his 06 325i down to me and ive been fixing it and cleaning it, im inlove with this car

I got mine last month and man I love this car. For a high school senior it’s fucking awesome

Have the 325 for a year now. It's a coupe facelifted model. It definitely moves quick. Purchased at 40,000 miles. I'm having fun with this car.

I got mine a montg ago with 104k miles for 2k i love it! Owner told me he just had to get ride of it ! I got super lucky!

Thanks for the review man

Test driving a 325i 2006 today... I already bought it in my mind though... 😍

Nice job on the review bud!!! Always a joy to watch!

I bought mine 10/2009 with 28k miles for $23k, manual trans with sports package, black on black (identical to one in the video). I now have 192k and it still drives like new. Maintenance and upkeep of ~$7k over the last 6 years, all normal wear/tear. Struts and control arm bearings, oil gaskets, ignition coil, water pump, front headlight assemblies. It's a beautiful car, just budget around $1,500 per year to maintain if you buy one, which is still cheaper than car payments on a newer car. I expect mine to last 300k+ miles.

Oh goooood video! Awesome Introduction music 👍👍👍

I got an 06 325i sports package with 133k for 4,500. It has navigation, interior looks brand new and it only had one owner.

I’m getting mine tomorrow and I have recently got my license. Excited

I am the second owner of a 2006 BMW 325i Sport Package with manual 6 speed 72k miles. I bought the car in 2008 when it had 18k miles. I never used it for commuting. My son learned how to drive on it and I'm eventually going to sell it to him. It still rides like a new car. The driving experience is amazing.

Got my 06 325i a couple months ago with 128k miles for $5200. I bought it with a leaking oil filter housing gasket which let me talk the guy down in price but replaced it myself. Never worked on a car by myself before and it took me several hours and a couple RU-vid videos and I had it replaced and road ready. Shops wanted around $500 for the job. One thing about BMW's is that yeah maintenance may be higher than others but if you can do the work yourself and take the time to get to know the car then you can save yourself a lot of money and learn some things in the process. Also invested in a good OBDII reader to catch potential problems and fix them before they cause serious damage. That's another thing, BMW's are preventative maintenance cars. Take care of them and regularly service them and they will last just as long as any other car. That's why a lot of people don't recommend them to young people, they tend to just want something flashy to drive and not worry about anything else. I knew a girl once who never changed or added oil to her car and she blew the engine. Also a good friend of mine who has a 328i never really took care of it that much and it has suffered all sorts of problems and doesn't drive like it should. I think it's going to just give up one day soon. tl;dr take care of the car and invest money along the way and you can save yourself from paying thousands of dollars all at once on a problem that could have easily been avoided.

Planning on getting a 2006 325i with 230k km, which is around 140k miles for 5k myself, been looking through all the reviews possible, and the more I look at them, the more I want to get it xD

One of the most beautiful cars ever built, very fast! I so want it back, sorry I had to let it go last year.

I have the exact model and I love my car! Coming from a daily driver from school to work to home

I got a 325xi for free. Ran when parked. I just needed to rip out the interior and remove some of the stuff that was shorting out. At the 0$ price point this is a great car!

I love the bmw 325i it’s a beauty I’m young saving money working hard would put in the work I want a car to call my own have my clothes shoes thrown in my car gym bag backpack excited, this review was awesome!

i’m about to get one, 168k miles, great condition, interior looks new for 3500

Got me a 06 325i from a 83 year old lady for $2000 with 92k miles for my 18th bday. The only thing wrong with the car was a wore out emblem and a bit of hail damage.

I just got one from my aunt for $500. It's AMAZING. Nice addition to my E46 330i.

In Australia there’s an 2006 e90 325i 220k miles, doesn’t come with rego or Rwc for 13k near where I live. It looks nice but I’m worried about the high mileage, and potential problems since it doesn’t come with rwc

looking at one right now these are some of the best bmws ever. cooling system is a total fuck up but the rest of the car is as reliable as anything else on the market

This really is my dream car. I don't own a car yet because I don't have the income to buy a car and pay the monthly taxes but if everything goes well I really hope this will be my first car

You know what? I saw your Video and in the following, i replaced my great e46 320d automatic by an even greater e90 325i/manualT. The nice thing is, it takes me 2 Minutes to an autobahn without speedlimit. This car just needs more than 5kRPM in 3th and 4th gear 😁 Even in 5th gear, it feels good. It feels simply sporty and looks realy good, especially with the 18inch rims, xenon lights and sport seats. Thanks for your review

i SHOULD watched this vids before i purchase my bmw. Too bad i have one already.let me know if anyone is interested in buying a 06 5 SERIES

I gotta hunt one of these down before they start getting expnsive....

Should i purchase one of these or a rsx type s. Looking for somewhat reliable

I’m looking at one for $6,900 with 82,695 mileage do y’all think that’s a good deal? I asked the guy for the VIN so I can look at the history. I’ll update once I have that.

What is the name of the 2006 325i 6spd manual? Is it ZF or Getrag? Having the hardest time getting this answered.

I am thinking of buying bmw e90 325i 2006 215hp mt . Is it a good car?

good low end pull under 2500 rpm?

Aye I have a 325i m sport package to let’s go

Holy fucking shit great intro

Drift Event.... Don't forget this is an executive saloon (sedan).

Wish it could still be the e30

I just got one yesterday haven’t really drove it anywhere. It has 211k miles. People told me it’s a lot of miles but I looked all the reviews and they saying they’ll last for longer if you take good care of em. I’m proud of my car idc what they say

How do fix the side mirror to fold in

Great review, just one questions, does it feel fast when driving it?

4 door is actually lighter than the coupe

I'm looking to buy a 2005 E90 325i as my first car. I pay about 100€ a month in insurance and have a budget of 200€ for gas. Adding 20€ taxes a year do you think I can afford it having 400-460€ monthly budget for the car? So asking for typical mechanical issues and the prices to fix em

🔥 🔥 🔥

A worthpricing car if you take care of it and be sure to buy a facelift becasue they look much better

WHAT IS THE INTRO SONG THAT WAS FING TASTY

Ok so my dad wants to buy this for me for my first car 3200k is it worth it and in your opinion is it better then a 2012 Chevy

What do you guys think about 202K Miles for a daily driver? For this 2006 BMW? It lands me about 2K

Actually it has 218 HP, at least mine does.

Is that exhaust stock? Mine doesn't sound like that :o but then it is an automatic

Are these a good high school car. Thinking of getting one soon for my senior year

Would you recommend this for a beginner learning how to drive manual?

What about service costs? That's the big reason (or so I always thought) that BMWs depreciate along with the market just being flooded with 2 to 3 year old cars

i've had mine for 3 years. it's good except the 6 speed manual is a fucking nightmare. the dual mass flywheel on this car ruins it.

Aloha

Amarican film in Europa there is 60% manual

Compre pero le sale humo blanco 🙄me defraudaron

does this come in a 2007 model?

city fuel consumption ?

Does it use up alot of gas?

it's a turbo or non turbo ?

06 with 90k miles for $8k should i get it or no?

how much hp does it have stock

Still don't get why people prefer manual transmission.

you think a bmw feels like it wants to be driven? You should try an Alfa.

Are BMW's , Audi's and Mercedes' rare in USA ? l

For a first car?

Although the F30 is illustrated as the Ultimate driving machine, the steering is horrendous.

Sorry to shatter your dreams dudes. This car has major issues, including potential electrical issues. Eg. Car batt in the boot, so wire looms feeding through the side of the car are prone to rub raw and short circuit lots of things. Need to replace a simple headlight globe? Well... just gotta remove the tyre and fender splash guards from underneath first. After 5 years brand new this car will quickly die and all rubber/ plastic components will deteriorate. I know no car is perfect, but being German, these cars are for the rich to use till 100,000kms which they then handball off to lower class who dream to live like the people who bought it brand new. But unfortunately it'll end up costing the next person $$$, and will surely have little funds to fix. And please remember as soon as repairers hear BMW, expect to add 50-100% mark up on your costs for servicing and parts. Enjoy!

maybe show the car more rather than your face. Just a suggestion

Cheap car too

You buy a car for cup-holders :)) ? Come on. If it was me the car shouldn't have any of theses gimmicks.

BMW is the worst investment ever.

My 325i is always breaking, and it's a piece of shit. Save your money and get an M series. These are junk, please take my word for it. They have these cheaper models for you to say ohhh look i drive a beamer! When in reality, when this shit breaks, which it will, unless you're a mechanic you're really going to have a bad time and pay the price to get it fixed and have to use dealer parts on a lot of stuff... They make everything complicated on the car because they want you to take it to the dealer. Lots of plastic junk. Can't even get to cylinders 5&6 easily. I have 116k and i have an 06 and didn't even drive much. Bought it 4 years ago with 80k. Changed more parts than the car is worth. It's a bad bad deal.

pointless video, we all can read brochure.. an enthusiast would go with m3 or at least 335i
