Hi everyone,

I just brought a 2006 BMW 325i M-Sport iDrive Model, it has done 102,000km.

Any suggestions or recommendations on what I should do to maintain this vehicle well?

Are there any knowing issues with these model that I should be aware of or to look out for?

Your help would be much appreciated.

I know it's a bit late to ask these questions now but I am hoping that I made the right choice on buying this model.

Many thanks,

Jason

So True!

Ditch those crapanese number plate surrounds! Looks good in white. Interior shots?

Just have it scanned and ensure it is all functioning as it should. Give it a good service with the right fluids and filters and then enjoy it. You can always look at subtle exterior modifications too, like black kidney grilles and some larger rims.

Thanks guys,

Someone told me this is a 2500cc V6 chain driven engine? not sure if it's a V6?

Very nice looking car but I endorse a previous posters thoughts on bird sh*t...just had mine done over today after a good clean.

Good pick. Pretty sure the 325i is one of the more reliable in the e90 lineup.

As above, you can remove the Jap plate mount and put your plate directly on the bumper - Europlate looks especially good.

Correct fluids as above is essential - use a BMW specialist mechanic.

Do your research about an NZ Navigation upgrade, people have been unhappy with 'cheap' fixes.

Very nice, just purchased the same car in blue 2006, 40,000 k's, wanted white but the blue had lower k's

i dont normally like the 3 series sedans, prefer the coupes... but both of those are great looking cars. BMW did well on that shape.

Prices on these are dropping like crazy. Its pretty good value i reckon.

Excellent value, absolute dream to drive after owning a Nissan 350z nice car but not really a DD, hope Rellik is enjoying his as much as i'm enjoying mine.
