2006 BMW 330i Road Test

Mixed blessings best describes the newly redesigned BMW 3 Series. Thankfully, the new styling looks quite attractive in the smaller doses this model conveys to its audience. Unfortunately, all the new electronics and exotic materials that go into making it such a nice combination of ride and drive places the 330i's pricing in a range where the pretenders are quickly dispatched by the scoff of their 700 or less credit scores. In other words, nice to look at, but dear to hold.
