Common problems and easy repairs on a 2006 325i

The 2006 BMW 325i is a difficult car to maintain. The petcock is located behind a panel underneath the vehicle held on by 20 bolts—the removal of which does not allow for reliable access. The entire air filter housing needs to be taken out to access the filter, which can be a problem to maneuver it out. Most of the headlights will require a portion of the wheel well lining to be removed, which doesn’t allow for reliable access, either.

However, the 2006 BMW 325i has some upsides. The tail lights are all accessible in large bulb assemblies behind the trunk lining that shouldn’t be a problem to remove. The power steering fluid reservoir has very open access, allowing you to reliably monitor the fluid levels when necessary. The highbeam and daytime running lights are accessible without the use of any tools and by reaching behind the bulb housing.
