Click to enlarge. 2006 BMW 3-Series

Counting on the 2006 3-Series to deliver the bulk of its profits, BMW took few risks with this redesign. Historically speaking, new Bimmers have generally improved in terms of powertrains, performance, and creature comforts - at first glance, it appears that the new Three is no different in this regard. Thus, the decision to buy now or buy later hinges on the new styling.

Until the redesigned 2006 BMW 3-Series arrives Stateside in May of 2005, check out these photos and decide whether you want to wait for the larger, more powerful, technologically advanced 2006 BMW 3-Series, or buy one today. For many, the decision should prove more difficult than when the 5- and 7-Series models debuted, which is a wonderful predicament for BMW fans worldwide.

About Christian Wardlaw
Christian Wardlaw joined Autobytel's Automotive Information Center (AIC) in January 2003, and current serves as Manager of Content Development for Autobytel. Previously, Christian spent eight years as Editor-in-Chief and Director of Automotive Data for Edmunds.com. A writer, editor, and automobile aficionado, Christian is a different sort of car enthusiast. His passion lies in the vehicles that people most often buy, rather than with high-performance sports cars or ultra-luxury sedans. “Given the choice to spend an hour with a Dodge Viper or a Honda Accord, I’ll choose the Accord,” he claims. Unless, of course, the driving venue is a racetrack. Christian has been a car enthusiast all of his life, uttering “car” as his first word while growing up in Detroit. A graduate of Western Michigan University, he holds a bachelor’s degree in English. His daily drivers include a 1994 Mazda Miata, a 2004 Mazdaspeed Miata, and a 2005 Nissan Murano.
