 I am an Automotive / Commercial Vehicle Engineer.I am also the original owner of a 2006 BMW 325i with 75K miles, and while I like the cars handling and styling, the quality and reliability of this vehicle has been extremely poor.I have owned many different brands of vehicles, and this vehicle by far has had the most problems under warranty.Luckily I purchased an extended warranty (which I had never done before) but it is due to expire in 5K miles.See below for a list of issues with this vehicle over a 4 year period.While the vehicle is fun to drive and has good styling, I would caution anyone considering this vehicle due to the risk of significant out of pocket repair costs.
