I have an 06 330i N52 B30 with 70k miles on it. Always garaged and serviced by the dealer.. Purrs like a kitten... The only code is the battery in the alarm level sensor is dead.. This car will live on another 20 years into Classic car territory..
I completely agree. They were exceptionally well made and have already stood the test of time. I hope to keep hold of mine too so that it becomes something special in the sea of electric cars (white goods?) that everybody else seems to be driving these days.
The fuel economy in the city is high 20's/low 30's, but it can drop if you are doing lots of stop/start driving in traffic. If you drive quickly and flick into drive sport mode, then MPG drops to around 24 mpg. On the highway (or motorway in UK), you are looking at mid to high 30's. I have also seen 40mpg with some consistent slow speed driving. On average I would say for combined driving you are looking at 32 - 33 mpg.
I have a 08 125i coupe (3L N52), it's been the most unreliable BMW I've ever owned (out of E46, E39 & E82). When it's running right, it's a terrific car for both daily duties and a blast on backroads.
Best of the best bmw ever made...have one 330i e90 alpine weiss 2005 with 90k miles in it, love drive it daily too!!
Thanks for the comment Roberto! They actually look very nice in Alpine weiss even if it might be a bit of a job to keep it looking clean!
@@aamersandoo love to clean it too!!!
It is to my knowledge the only straight 6 naturally aspirated with variable valve lift
Great car, I have an 06 330i 6MT with 204,000 miles.
204000 miles is a great milestone. Further proof of how great this big old engine is, and how great the e90 chassis was.
@@aamersandoo agreed!

Thanks for the informative video. What's the fuel economy in city and highway when you drive normally?

I have a june 05 build 330i it's a terrific daily.
Completely agree - they make the perfect daily.
How is fuel economy for you?
@@lawrencem8022 my car is overcooling as a result avg fuel is 10.3 l/100km. Normally you can get around 600km to a full tank mixed driving conditions.
I have two : 275k mile and 120k miles
6MT

2008? 3.0 in a 125i? I think what you have its an N53 engine, wich is an other story...
The N52 is one of the best engines of BMW
@@mohi_e92 nah it’s definitely n52, Australia based.
@@Rider_Tom dude the n52b30 is a 130, there is no 125i 3.0 n52
@@mohi_e92 nope. the E82 125i coupe's came with a detuned N52 3.0
