I got it for $23,400 + manheim fee and fee for my guy = $24,250.

It has the sport package, idrive/nav, and premium. It's auto, which kind of stinks, but you can't be picky when you're doing it through an auction. It was a FL registered car so that was a plus...

sbux · 05-22-2009, 09:24 AM

great...it has tinted windows!!! FL is good roads are better and mostly highway..unlike jerzee or ny cars which are mostly heavily beaten up.....

hotnikks · 05-22-2009, 09:33 AM

I got my 330i last month and love it

it came with sports/premium/cold packages, logic 7, in the 6-speed variety.
I paid 23,800 for it with 35500 miles... At a dealer I think I did good if you got one at auction for that much

edit: also a connecticut car. Obviously garaged it has no rust anywhere

Yeah - that's definitely a good deal. Mine only came with one key, so I guess I'm going to have to order spare soon....which I guess would theoretically tack on another $300 to the price...

sbux · 05-22-2009, 09:39 AM

well i got mine last month at dealer. a bit more that you paid at 24K with 39XXX miles, Nav & Permium & Cold...and CPO....not bad at all I guess...

330 is very fast and I like it very much.....Nav and Idrive are fun to use too....

dealers are so much more expensive...I paid 27 for mine a year ago

sbux · 05-22-2009, 10:48 AM

I would say it not expensive for you. It was one year ago not sure what options / packages / mileages were on yours thou but I think it was a good price.

Mine was $24.5-CPO and 0.9% financing. Not bad I guess seeing the auction cost.

You should make out better than me in the long run with 0.9 financing. Mine is 5.99%

Yeah those keys are rediculous. I'm thankful mine came with the second. Be careful of the bmw roundels on the fob they fall off. One of mine is missing..

sbux · 05-22-2009, 12:14 PM

0.9% 4 yrs is very good, saving a grand a yr at least compared to regular 5-6% interest....

now 0.9% is good for 3yrs only, 4 yrs its 2.9%.... glad we all took it...

funkho · 05-22-2009, 02:00 PM

Picked up my '06 330i on 5/3 this month... Monaco Blue on Grey... 22,222 miles for $24.7k... 6MT... I don't have Nav, so it sounds like this was just an OK deal. Not the best. But 22k miles was pretty appealing to me.

Added the specdock ashtray dock hooked up through the aux port in the center console and tapped into power on the cig lighter next to it. For some reason, that panel won't sit down right there next to the ashtray. I need to pull it back out and fiddle with it again.

Next thing on the mod list is tint.

BIMMER//DRIMMER · 05-22-2009, 02:27 PM

Congrats on your car.
Pls, share info about iPod.
How much? Who installed?
How you change songs?

You guys with the 2006 330i's with ZSP - I am jealous! The wheels that came on that car are the best looking wheels that BMW has made in a decade.

I picked up a 2009 335i, and I was pissed that BMW changed the ZSP wheels when they did the LCI. I can see why they felt a need to change the wheels, simply because the 06 wheels had been sold for 3 years, but then they didn't even go for a new wheel - they just switched to the same wheels used on the E92!

Anyway, of all the improvements that I was happy about on the LCI, I was very disappointed that they changed from the 06 330i ZSP wheels.....

I picked up the dock from http://specdock.com/ I don't have an ipod controller in the radio, but I kind of like to be able to see the album art on the phone. So I do all the controlling of the iPhone from the phone itself. It's really not that much different than hitting the radio 3 inches above the phone. /shrug

The dock itself was $149 + shipping. I installed it myself. The dock comes with left/right/video output, so I spliced an 1/8" stereo in to the left/right and ran it to the center console. The dock also has wires for power, so I soldered them straight to the cig lighter next to it. It was the first time I've used my soldering iron in ages.

I'm pretty happy with it right now. The only issue I current have is that I don't have the proper insert to fit my first generation iPhone. I'm expecting to change that next month when the new iPhones come out though. They are supposed to be the same form factor as the current generation iPhone.
