328i is a 2007 and up model. The e90 in 2006 came only as a 325 and 330i. Check edmunds TMV for your area as resale pricing varies greatly by region and content.

More Problems and Bad Luck by davidd3

2006 330i, 34k miles.
 
Another 2 days in the service center, with no good results.
 
They tried to fix my steering wheel lockup starting problem by reprogramming. Didn't work. Happened again today. This means another service appointment where they'll take apart the steering wheel.
 
They ordered a part for my driver's door panel where a layer of plastic film is peeling. That'll be a separate appointment after the part comes in. They never seem to have the parts I need in stock, which is another source of aggravation.
 
Road noise issue was diagnosed as cupping of the OEM Bridgestone tires. They only have 22k miles on them and lots of tread left. They recommended new tires for $900. We declined. Now we're thinking about running our winter wheels/tires until near the end of our lease in August.
 
Mrs. D, who handles our service appointments, is highly annoyed but torn. When everything is right with the car, it is the best car we have ever had. However, we have had more problems with this car than all our previous and current cars (all Japanese cars) combined. It will be a difficult decision whether to get another BMW. That we would even consider getting another one give all the problems we have had with this one speaks volumes about how good a car this is when all is well.

Did you lease or buy, David? I leases my '06 330xi and outside of a wiring harness change due to failure of the Air Bag warning system, the car has been perfect (ahem, except for the RFT issue).
 
My strategy was lease in case of the situation you are in. I plan to lease from now on.
 
Regards,
OW

OW,
 
I'm leasing the car and boy am I glad that I did. It will be someone else's problem and not my problem after the warranty and free maintenance period expire.
 
It's good to know that your car has been so comparatively trouble free. Perhaps I was just unlucky. If I can come around to that view, I will be more tempted to lease another one (well, not exactly another one since the 330i no longer exists).
 
Regards,
 
David

Should I be feeling the heat from the transmission? by manualguy

I have a 2006 325i with manual transmission. This morning I had the a/c off and the sunroof open while driving to the train station. It is only a 5 mile ride with about 12 traffic lights. At one of the red lights, my hand strayed to the leather pouch surrounding the stick shift and I could feel that it was much warmer than the 65F air. No other part of the car inside felt warm.
 
Is this normal?

iPod Integration - 2008 328xi by mmenta
Mar 25, 2008 (10:46 am)

After searching these forums and the net I am still unsure of whether to buy the iPod integration option. I went for a test drive but the dealer did not appear to be know too much either and suggested that I could just use the auxilary input. I do not plan to get the idrive and I have a 3rd generation iPod. Do the existing radio/steering wheel controls merit the the integration cost ($400)? I presume the "ram din" connector http://www.sik.com/ram_din.php may suffice?

I have a 2006 330i, and I have been using the auxiliary input for my mini-ipod. It works OK. I think the primary advantage of integration is that you can control your ipod through the car's audio system controls rather than through the ipod itself. I'd go for integration if you plan on listening to your ipod a lot in the car. I rarely use my ipod in the car. I mostly listen to sat radio instead.
