New to BMW
Just sold my car and purchased a 2006 330i. Thought id post up some pictures.
Ive had a wide array of cars and i have to say this one is one of my favorites. Alot of plans for it. Went From an Xterra To this bad boy: Then to this: and now to this beauty...06 with sports & premium package. Car is in amazing condition inside and out. I looked high and low for a 6spd did not want automatic |

Congratz I just got mine other day also, It took alot of looking to find 330i with premium/sports/cold weather/ 6spd your right. I flew 500 miles away to get mine lol.
Looks amazing man! Make sure you check oil level through the dash menu just in case. Maint maint maint, Look at belts and cooling system with close eye then do plugs/fuel filter/ cabin filter/ air filter/ Just so you have base line from where to start your maintenance schedule from. |

Make sure the car was sitting for 4-5hrs and its cold and open the black overflow tank on the left and use flashlight to check the color, It should be blueish. Bmw says I believe 3-4yrs between coolant flushes, I would do 2 yrs personally.

Congrats!!! its a very fun car to drive. i too have a 330i and am always looking to learn more about it. how many miles you have on it? price? ive also heard that with 330i's its good to keep an eye out for torn cylinder head bolts, actuator problems (usally blown fuse that is 15A and should be replaced with 20A), water pump/thermostat replacement around 75-100k, steering column issues, and bad ignition coils. i got about 67k mile on it and has lots of the options. the 330i is special cause there arent too many around, especially 6mt's. anyone know of anything else to look out for when it comes to 300i's?

thanks for all teh comments.
I will have more pics later. It has 59k miles on her. Shes in mint condition. the previous owner to good care of her. I looked everywhere for 335i in manual but could not find any in my price range. I was willing to go up to 19k but found this one and paid 18 for it.. which is okay. I am excited to start working on her. Im going to start out with getting the front winshield tinted... The more i drive her the more i love it. |

This is too funny, i also went from a silverstone grey 350Z to a graphite 330i
Let me give you a piece of advice, once you get the maintenance out of the way and you are ready for your fist performance mod (if that's what you're planning) get the AA tune because its the best performance mod you can do for $500 or so, by far.
