  • BMW 3.0CSL (1972 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
    The most famous of all, the Batmobile, of which only 39 were made, sported extraordinary aerodynamic appendages, and are probably the most recognisable BMW of them all. And they're now worth serious money for a BMW of this era, driven by strong demand.
  • BMW 2002 (1971 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
    Easy to work on, solid, high quality components, great fun to drive
  • BMW 700 (1959 - 1965) (Classics Reviews)
    The 700 was perhaps the most important car in BMW’s history, and it almost certainly the one that saved the company. The BMW 700 may have been based upon the quirky 600 bubblecar, but elegant Michelotti styling and an uprated engine resulted in a more grown-up budget car that looked good and was great to drive.
  • BMW 600 (1958 - 1959) (Classics Reviews)
    The BMW 600 was a logical upward extension of the Isetta 250 and 300, and was designed to retain BMW buyers who’d grown out of their original bubblecars. The front-opening door remained in place, but the new car was larger, with an extra side door for rear seat passengers, a more powerful 600cc BMW flat-twin motorcycle engine and – most importantly – four wheels.
  • BMW 507 (1956 - 1959) (Classics Reviews)
    Because of its styling and superstar associations, the 507 is one of the most legendary BMWs produced, along with the pre-war 328.
  • What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a BMW Z3? (Article)
    Engine-wise, some cars were fitted with Nikasil bore liners, which should have been replaced under warranty. The other known weakspot is the VANOS system - BMW's version of variable-valve timing, which can be fragile. How can I lower the cost of my insurance Insurers often offer discounts if you’re a member of a classic car club. When it comes to the BMW Z3, BMW Car Club GB is widely recognised by most insurers.
  • 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.
  • 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
  • BMW 5 Series (2010 - 2017) (Reviews)
    You’re in good company. While many large executive cars feel like a duck out of water on a twisty road, the BMW 5 Series comes alive, making it the first choice for drivers who fancy, well, the ultimate driving machine. The BMW 5 Series was designed for Europe’s motorways. To allow a driver to while away the hours between business meetings, cocooned in a luxurious cabin and enjoying the latest tech.
  • BMW 7 Series (2009 - 2016) (Reviews)
    This a problem for BMW which wants to sell the 7 Series to people with a lot of disposable income, in a world where those that still have money are hanging onto it. Those that don't are now saving up for something like a lightly soiled Kia Pride, rather than a flagship uber saloon.
  • BMW Z4 Coupe (2006 - 2008) (Reviews)
    Hunched on its back wheels like a cat about to pounce, there's a bit of competition E-Type, Ferrari GTO, Cobra Daytona and BMW 507 in it. Somehow, all the bells Bangles and beads come together. And before you ask there's plenty of room for golf clubs in the boot (of the 3.0i, anyway). Road Test 2006 BMW Z4 M Coupe and 3.0i Coupe
