Considering '06 330i Sedan
I have not driven it yet. I may go do that tomorrow. Any opinions? Thanks. |

Can't help you out too much, but I like this year and model too. It was before BMW decided to detune the N/A straight six. Prices have been decent as well. IMO, this car looks really good with the sport package.
Good luck. |

I didn't know about the de-tune but I figured I would try to do some aftermarket power adder regardless.
These cars a pretty good deal CPO right now. I have to return my CTS-V to my ex-company this weekend (company car), and I am looking for something relatively inexpensive to tool aroudn in for a year until I recover financially from the mess created by my legal battles my ex-company. These cars seem like a good value. |

The 06 330i has about 255 horse power. The 07+ 328i shares pretty much the same 3.0 litre engine as the 330i, but only gives out 230 horse power.
I read this on Turner Motorsport's website regarding the 2006 e90 sedan; ...your 325i engine is almost virtually identical to the 330 engine. Both 325 and 330 share the SAME 3.0 liter engine and internals. BUT the 325i came saddled with a more restrictive exhaust & catalytic converters, a single stage intake manifold (vs the 3-stage manifold of the 330i), and BMW's "detuned" engine computer. Besides the e46 M3 and M coupe/roadster, the engine in the 2006 330i was a pretty beastly 6 cylinder for BMW. Last edited by FSETH; 12-06-2008 at 04:15 PM. |

Bought an '05 X5 3.0 tonight. Decided to go for the family truckster instead of the dad runaround.

Congrats! I didn't see this thread until now and could have weighed in as an '06 330i sedan owner. I still have my 30 X5 too so I have you covered either way.

Now my wife has the itch. We have an Escalade as the family truckster, and she has a 2001 Jaguar XKR as her beater. She wants me to sell the Escalade, like right now, to Carmax or somebody, and trade the XKR in for a 650 vert we saw at the dealer. I am trying to push her into a 530 to keep from breaking the bank. Also, the 6 only seats 4, and we have 3 kids, so the 5 makes more sense. So, I have that sick feeling, which means we'll probably have 2 BMW's again by the weekend (and I'm sure the 2nd one will be a 4-seater). |
