2006 BMW 3 Series 325i review from North America
"High performer and very comfortable, very solid and secure to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Driver door handle sticks up.
Car is very low to ground, hitting every small bumps or when parking, the curves.
General comments?
Well, its not the same as my 2002 325i, don't like the braking system, the car sits very low, handle to open doors sticks in the up position so you can't close the door, I did address the low car issue with no return. A car this well made should not have little problems like doors sticking, I think BMW should be able to disconnect this braking system and also give us the choice of having regular tires rather than flat free, no spare is present. If I could, I would sell the car and buy a new 2005 instead, they were a better car, not talking about the looks or shape, the 2006 drives super well and very confortable.
The car performs very well and its fast.
