The heart of this BMW is a 3.0-liter, 24-valve DOHC inline six with variable valve timing that produces 215 hp using the first mass-produced magnesium-alloy engine block. Our 325i is paired with the optional six-speed automatic transmission. Consumer Guide testers achieved a 7.2-second 0-60 time with this transmission! Fuel economy reflects the high-tech nature of the new engine, with Car and Driver recording 31 mpg on a 300-mile highway trip, cruising at 70-80 mph, with an overall 25 mpg. The 325i is rated at 20/30 mpg.
The 2006 interior has more room, upgraded materials, and the traditional 3 Series' great front seats and seating position. With its extra room, the 325i is comfortable for four adults, with the middle back seat best for children. The trunk has more space and easier access than the last generation's.
