2006 BMW 325i

The quintessential sports sedan is back - and better than ever. With a powerful 215 hp engine featuring Valvetronic technology, a 5-link/5-beam rear suspension, and increased passenger room, performance and luxury are perfectly blended in a more powerful, more agile sedan offering more safety and comfort features than ever before. Advanced Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) and optional Active Steering help keep the driver in total control, while premium interior materials like leather, Poplar Natural wood trim or brushed Aluminum, create an alluring atmosphere to satisfy their senses.

Integrated wireless communication system and GPS receiver, providing Automatic Collision Notification, Emergency Request, enhanced Roadside Assistance, and Concierge Services. For more information on BMW Assist.

Full Maintenance Program covers all factory-recommended maintenance for 4 years or 50,000 miles, whichever comes first. Even includes items that need replacement due to normal wear and tear.

No more roadside tire emergencies. These self-supporting tires with integrated reinforcements allow tires that have experienced a loss of air pressure to maintain their shape and full use. They can be driven for up to 150 miles at reduced speeds.

While both the 325i and 330i employ the newly developed 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, the 325i is rated at 215 hp, while a three-stage induction system, different exhaust, and powertrain software results in a 255 hp output from the same engine in the 330i.

The BMW inline six-cylinder engine has long been recognized as one of the very few truly superb powerplants of the automotive industry. And the new 3.0-liter, 24-valve version of the celebrated BMW inline six-cylinder engine continues this tradition, offering even greater power, refinement, response, and efficiency.

This new engine features a number of pioneering technologies, including Valvetronic and an electronically controlled water pump that uses less power than conventional pumps, which contributes to the engine's increased power output. And the new engine block, made of an advanced, lightweight composite magnesium/aluminum, increases the engine's overall power-to-weight ratio.

In the 325i, the new inline six-cylinder engine produces 215 hp, and propels the new 3 from 0-60 in a swift 6.7 seconds. A three-stage induction system, different exhaust, and powertrain software results in a 255 hp output from this same engine in the 330i, which launches the car from 0-60 in a mere 6.1 seconds.
