2006 BMW 3 Series Convertible 330Cic

Pros

Great handling and power...Classic looks...not just another pretty ride!!!

Cons

Not much room in the back, but who cares!

I've owned and driven close to 30 different cars in my life, most I bought new, but this car is the cream of the crop. I know it's not the perfect car for everyone...we all have different transportation needs.

If you don't need to carry a lot of people and stuff around, and want a car that has a wonderful balance of handling and power then this is as good as it gets! I haven't had a car that I actually look forward to driving like I do with this one. I'm 6'4" about 235# and it fits me like a glove...I actually take the long way to destinations and I think up places for it to transport me to!

Before my experience with this car I really had a hard time understanding all the raving about BMW's...but now I can
understand why!
I can't say for sure but, from things I've heard and read
about BMW's I have gotten my initiation in one of the best handling
of the current lot....read morehide

Pros

Great looking and will make you the envey of all your friends. Lots of fun.

Cons

The front skirt always drags and easily comes lose. Poor visability with the top up. Doors don't clo

This is my third BMW and my second 3 series convertible. I am seriously considering changing brands. These are beautiful cars but just to many nagging problems. The front skirt drags on every dip and if you accidentally pull up on a parking block and the skirt catches, it can rip it clear off. $400 every time. Three times I had to replace the front skirt on my last two cars. The rain sensor wipers don't work very well either....read morehide

Pros

Great handling. Fun to drive. Very classy look, especially top-down.

Cons

Visibility could be improved with top up.

Bought this after my wife's 325i spoiled me. But, I had to have the convertible. Will be hard-pressed not to buy another in the future.

Pros

Poerful, looks good, lots of options

Cons

None found so far.

Best value for money. Sporty and fun to drive. Powerful strong engine.
Great look with roof down.

Pros

Best looking car on the road

Cons

nothing

I love this car. I had a '96 318 and now a '06 330Ci, nothing drives like a bimmer.

Pros

great performer in all aspects

Cons

leaking trunk

have 02 330ci with most options. only problem is a leaking trunk when car left nose up on an incline in hard rain. dealer hopefully has solved problem with much effort and no help from bmw who should have taken hard look at this problem because it probably is common to this body design.

Pros

Styling, fit and finish, handling, braking, acceleration, beefy chassis

Cons

Too many things controlled by the computer

I had a 05 BMW 330cic with the ZSP package and after five times in the shop, BMW of North America bought it back and I replaced it with an 06 BMW with all the same equipment. Out the door at $54,000 with every conceivable option. No problems with this one but older technology. Air conditining and heating system not up to snuff, ride is a little too stiff for long trips (I have the 18" wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires) and a few minor trim re-fits. Great dealer service with never a question asked.

After 30 years of driving Mercedes I decided on a car that I could DRIVE and not one that would drive me! Next stop will probably be an M3....read morehide

Pros

gps comes standard,

Cons

ride is too rough

it seems very nice cool as sport car
this car get satisfact the owner, sure

Pros

great handling, power, braking, looks etc.

Cons

not available in new body style yet

I just purchased my second BMW, a new 2006 330i conv. with the high performance package. This car is outstanding in every way! I ordered it with the alcantara interior and it is much more plush than the boring old leather everyone else has and it stays cool in summer and warm in winter (I can't understand why dealers order so few with this interior on the high performance pkg.). I ordered it in Monaco blue with a blue top and 18" chrome rims to set it off, it literally sparkles! I love this car!!!...read morehide

Pros

Easy retractable roof, impeccable handling, sporty and still classy

Cons

Backseat room

This is my 8th BMW. I love the looks of this car. I think it actually looks sleeker with the top down. It handles great, turns heads, great acceleration, incredible handling. The only thing a buyer should consider is that it is the pre-2006 3 Series body style...nothing wrong with it, but BMW hasn't put the convertible feature into the new body style yet. I get about 25 MPG highway....pretty good considering the engine (I have the 330i engine). Combined city/highway is 21.5. Mine has Harmon Kardon, BMW Assist feature, Sport Package, Winter Package, etc. You can't go wrong with this car....it is awesome to take the family out for a spin on a warm day with the top down and taking in sunshine with some tunes playing. Resale is always great with BMWs....read morehide
