Thought I'd chime in.
06 330xi has every option checked except sport. I brought it at 90k from an auction with no information about the prior owner. All i went off of was the carfax which did show frequent oil changes at valvoline.
Just passed 100k and so far the following issues:
-Valve cover gasket leak(oil gets onto the headers overnight and my hvac smells like oil in the morning)
-oil level sensor is starting to act up. Reads "full" but sometimes reads "half".
-Burns oil
-If it's parked for a few weeks, it'll smoke like crazy when started. I think it's the valve seals.
-battery died on me unexpectedly
-door lock actuators taking a dump
-door vapor barrier leaking(fixed with a tube of GE silicone II from HD)
-power steering pump starting to screech during cold mornings
-rear end is binding during sharp turns(maybe normal?)
-random long crank(can't find the issue. Fuel pump maybe? I know the 330s don't have high pressure)
-lifter tap that comes and goes
I haven't replaced the water pump yet, but it looks like it's been done. I wish i was at home so I could DIY the fuel pump/valve cover/valve stem. I'm not paying the dealer like $2k when the car's only worth about $6500. May trade it in next week. Love BMWs but I won't daily another one thats over 10 years old. My next ones gonna be NEW and probably a lease.
