  BMW X5 (2014 - 2018) (Reviews)
  This is one of the most desirable premium SUVs on the planet. For 20 years, the BMW X5 has been the go-to car for buyers who aren’t prepared to sacrifice ride and handling when buying a tall and slab-sided vehicle. There were SUVs before the original X5, but none drove as well as the BMW.
• 
  BMW i3 (2013 - 2022) (Reviews)
  BMW’s approach to creating a small electric car showed serious intent and real forward thinking at a time when EVs weren't exactly mainstream. The compact i3 was designed alongside the hybrid BMW i8 sports car, and both are made from carbon fibre for light weight and strength, with BMW even building a new factory to manufacture the base material.

  BMW M6 (2012 - 2018) (Reviews)
  It also gets BMW's fuel-saving EfficientDynamics extras and as a result it is cleaner and 30 per cent more fuel-efficient.
• 
  BMW M5 (2011 - 2017) (Reviews)
  From the Audi RS6 to the mightily impressive Jaguar XFR, if you want a rapid large four-door car, there are plenty to choose from. Yet one name still stands out - the BMW M5. It has a heritage stretching back to the mid 1980s and has become revered as one of the best - and fastest - cars on the road. This is the fifth generation of the M5 and it continues that tradition with even more power than before - 560PS to be precise - which makes it the most powerful production car BMW has ever built.
• 
  BMW X3 (2010 - 2018) (Reviews)
  It has bespoke suspension settings that can be very firm with optional bigger wheels. Tellingly, BMW did offer an option to delete the M Sport suspension on these cars.  Viewed through modern eyes, BMW’s decision to sell the X3 with diesel-only engine options might seem a little strange.
• 
  BMW X1 (2009 - 2015) (Reviews)
  It is actually shorter than a BMW 3 Series Touring so parking isn't a problem, plus it drives well too with impressive handling and - unusually on a small BMW - a very forgiving ride. But where the X1 makes the most sense is in running costs.
• 
  BMW Z4 (2009 - 2016) (Reviews)
  Read on for our full BMW Z4 review.
• 
  BMW X6 (2008 - 2014) (Reviews)
  Unique coupe and SUV style. Drives and handles astonishingly well for a big vehicle. M50d has monstrous 381PS and 740Nm torque.
• 
  BMW M3 (2007 - 2013) (Reviews)
  The BMW M3 is the car that single-handedly sealed BMWs reputation as a maker of some of the very best drivers' cars. As the generations have come and gone, it's remained a car with a certain aura about it, not just because of the performance and handling, but because of the way it involves the driver.

  BMW X5 (2007 - 2013) (Reviews)
  Spacious and practical interior. Huge road presence. Good choice of engines including xDrive 30d. Available with seven seats. Very refined.
• 
  BMW X3 (2004 - 2010) (Reviews)
  Reviewers generally underwhelmed at launch. Some found it hard to understand why BMW had launched a second SUV, just a bit smaller than the X5 but with much less appealing trim, almost as if it had been deliberately downgraded. If you're looking for the newer version, you need our BMW X3 review .
• 
  BMW Z4 (2003 - 2009) (Reviews)
  The first generation of BMW Z4 showcased the firm’s ‘flame surfacing’ design style. Coming on the heels of Chris Bangle’s radical new direction for BMW’s styling, the Z4 was a complete and welcome break from the previous Z3. However, the Z4 was styled by BMW’s Danish designer Anders Warming, so the car has its own unique appeal that helped it take on the Porsche Boxster directly where the Z3 had always trailed in the Porsche’s wake.
• 
  BMW X5 (2000 - 2007) (Classics Reviews)
  True, BMW did pinch the hill descent control and off-road engine management control, but that was about it. Still, we can't help but feel direct access to the underpinning and knowledge of one of the best off-road vehicles in the world gave BMW a leg up.
• 
  BMW Z1 (1988 - 1991) (Classics Reviews)
  Powered by the same engine as the 325i, there's plenty of scope for tuning, and there's plenty of specialist expertise out there. Rapidly diminishing interest from buyers saw BMW halt production after just over 8000 were built. Not an official UK import but plenty have been shipped in.
• 
  BMW M5 (1988 - 1995) (Classics Reviews)
  Brilliant super-saloon with excellent handling, strong performance, awesome soundtrack and communicative steering
• 
  BMW M3 (1986 - 1990) (Classics Reviews)
  The M3 was one of a rare breed of BMW M-Sport cars, as it was not designed solely for the road. The 2.3-litre S14 engine was loosely based on the venerable M10 four-cylinder and it produced 192bhp straight from the box.Not that the M3 was all about power - it was the most deliciously communicative saloons money can buy.
• 
  BMW M635CSi (1985 - 1989) (Classics Reviews)
  The standard BMW 635CSi was a very impressive sports coupe, with effortless and quick autobahn cruising on the menu. But it wasn't the ultimate 6-Series. That came six years into its production run. Thanks to some inspired thinking from the Munich product planners, the M635CSi was created by combining the 286bhp M-Power engine from the mid-engined M1 and the 635CSi's body.
• 
  BMW M5 (1984 - 1987) (Classics Reviews)
  The E28 generation BMW M5 was a far more hardcore effort than the previous M535 E12-generation car. It's not that the old one was deficient, but the 1984 car was in a completely different league, both in terms of performance, and exclusivity.
• 
  BMW M1 (1979 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
  We've got used to the M-Division cars being rather good saloons, roadsters and coupes based closely on mass-produced BMWs - but back in 1978, when the M1 filtered onto the motor show circuit, this was something very special indeed. And not only because it was BMW's first attempt at a mid-engined supercar. And in a nutshell the original M-Series car was easily the most exciting.
• 
  BMW M535i (1979 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
  The M535i was the first truly quick 5-Series saloon, unashamedly designed to appeal to well-heeled boy racers who needed room for for and a maximum speed of more than 140mph. Although it wasn't strictly an M5, the BMW Motorsport division’s first sporting 5-Series was a template for the legendary M5 series of cars. Shoehorning the 635CSi’s fuel-injected straight-six into the compact 5-Series shell, resulted in a seriously rapid sports - and fun - saloon, although thanks to the Alpina-inspired chin spoiler and stripes, the world knew all about it.
