  BMW X5 (2013 - 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 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 - 2017) (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 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 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 (2021 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 (2020 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 (2018 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 5 Series (2016 - 2023) (Reviews)
  Read on for our full review of the BMW 5 Series. 
• 
  BMW 7 Series (2015 - 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 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.
• 
  BMW 3 Series (2011 - 2018) (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 6 Series (2011 - 2018) (Reviews)
  Yet the big BMW will be even more effective as a long-distance machine, racking up the miles with effortless ease. Comparisons with the Maserati Gran Turismo or Jaguar XK are more accurate, although those two models feel even older than the BMW.
