  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 2 Series Coupe (2022 on) (Reviews)
  There are initially three BMW 2 Series models available: the entry-level BMW 220i Coupe, the diesel BMW 220d Coupe and the range-topping BMW M240i xDrive Coupe. A BMW mid-range 230i Coupe is on its way, while we’re also expecting to see a flagship BMW M2.
• 
  BMW 4 Series Convertible (2021 on) (Reviews)
  As we'll explain in our BMW 4 Series Convertible review.
• 
  BMW 1 Series (2019 - 2024) (Reviews)
  Our 2022 BMW 1 Series review will find out. 
• 
  BMW 3 Series Touring (2019 on) (Reviews)
  But on-demand four-wheel drive (called xDrive in BMW speak) is available. The M340i and M340d both come with xDrive as standard. All versions of the BMW 3 Series Touring get a first-class interior, filled with lots of plush and soft-touch materials.
• 
  BMW 8 Series Convertible (2019 on) (Reviews)
  The 8 Series Convertible is one of BMW’s best contemporary styling efforts and with a well-appointed interior, it meets the brief for opulent indulgence. As a flagship of the BMW range, the 8 Series Convertible has a lot to live up to.
• 
  BMW 7 Series (2016 - 2022) (Reviews)
  There’s also a hybrid model to make the BMW in tune with latest trends and you can also specify four-wheel drive. Of course, it’s still a BMW and the Seven is enjoyable to drive, though the steering is a little vague compared to a Jaguar XJ’s.
• 
  BMW 4 Series (2013 - 2020) (Reviews)
  The wider rear end also enhances the sporty image, with M Sport models looking particularly racy. Compared with more recent BMW efforts – not least the new 4 Series – it’s easy to see why the car won near-universal praise.  BMW has built a reputation over several decades for building cars that are good to drive.
• 
  BMW 3 Series (2012 - 2019) (Reviews)
  As with every previous model, this sixth generation of the BMW 3 Series (codenamed F30 by the company) was, at launch in 2012, the best yet. A core model in the BMW range, and one that drives a big chunk of its profitability, tireless work by the engineers created another car that was quickly considered a sector front-runner.
• 
  BMW ActiveHybrid 5 (2012 - 2017) (Reviews)
  Of course the real benefits are fuel economy and emissions with the ActiveHybrid 5 averaging a claimed 44.1mpg and 149g/km of CO2. This equates to a benefit-in-kind tax rate of only 19 per cent. At up to 100mph the BMW ActiveHybrid 5 is capable of cruising in ECO PRO mode when the driver lifts off the accelerator, running soundlessly with zero tailpipe emissions until the driver accelerates. Standard equipment on the ActiveHybrid 5 includes the BMW Professional Multimedia sat nav system, an eight-speed automatic transmission, four-zone climate control, 17-inch alloy wheels , black panel display and high-gloss Fineline Anthracite wood interior trim.

  BMW 1 Series (2011 - 2019) (Reviews)
  The idea behind the 1 Series was simple: make a smaller, cheaper, hatchback version of the BMW 3 Series. BMW picked the perfect set of tools to achieve that, too – the architecture of the 3 Series itself, no less. This means 1 Series buyers really were getting a premium-grade car at a (slightly) more mainstream price.
