    CPO'd with maintenance and decent miles (40-60k) will run you mid 20s....thats E92s. E90s will be cheaper.

          Oh he's selling it? Is it a 6 speed? Looks like a 06 325

              park it next to an E34. the E34 is probably lighter too.

                      My brother has owned a 2006 330i w/ 6-speed manual for a few years now and its been a trouble-free car for him. I've driven it several times, major gripes I can report:

                      run-flat tires (easily resolved)
                      no spare (just repair kit - although a compact spare kit was offered)
                      no oil dip stick
                      cupholder is shallow (bottled water will fall right out when you floor it)
                      first gen iDrive stinks

                      The N52B30 engine is pretty damn durable. Not a lot of tuning options available but its baseline 255HP is nothing to sneeze at either. Definitely try to get one equipped with a Sport Package....makes all the difference.

                      Since this particular model is going on 5 years old, depreciation has kicked in enough to make a clean, well maintained 330i a sub-$20K car.

                        this is my e92 328xi
                        i need something for everyday driving
                        6spd, sport pkg, cpo
                        right now this car is worth somewhere close to $25k

                        this is a fast car, or at least fast enough
                        its quicker than an e46, goes around corners without any drama, great seats, stock stereo sounds great, bluetooth is nice
                        great modern everyday car

                        the downside is that there is no drama going around corners or driving fast. you don't get the sensation of speed like an e30 or my 2002tii.

                          I've got an 09 335i and its the best car I've ever owned...and I've had a lot of cool cars (s2k, STi, many Nissans, VWs, etc). It is a great daily, has tons of power without mods, and gets decent mileage. I highly recommend them.

                                Add that to the song of Like A G6 and you got my friend's plate: "SMYD6..". I think we laughed about it for over half an hour.
