  • 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 5 Series Touring (2024 on) (Reviews)
    BMW 5 Series Touring Plug-in Hybrid: Range and charging times BMW 530e Touring 54-60 miles BMW 550e xDrive Touring 51-55 miles As per the brand's historic norm, the BMW 530e Touring is rear-wheel drive and has an electric driving range of up to 60 miles.
  • 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
  • BMW 5 Series (2010 - 2016) (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 (2008 - 2015) (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 3 Series (2005 - 2011) (Reviews)
    It's well known that the BMW 3 Series sets the standard for premium saloons when it comes to handling. But there's more to this 3 Series than just driver enjoyment. It comes with decent levels of standard equipment and some of the most efficient engines available.
  • BMW 1 Series (2004 - 2011) (Reviews)
    The first impression you get from the BMW 1 Series is an air of solidity. Like all BMWs, it feels superbly engineered and incredibly well built both inside and out. Just because it's the cheapest model in the BMW line-up, doesn't mean it's a poor relation to the larger cars.
