  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 3 Series (2005 - 2012) (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.
• 
  BMW 5 Series (2003 - 2010) (Reviews)
  BMW is known for building high quality cars that are great to drive and this is perfectly evident in the BMW 5 Series. It really is superb on the road with keen handling and great composure in bends, making it the really involving to drive.

  BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (2022 on) (Reviews)
  Throw in BMW quality and superb infotainment, and this is one of the best reasons you'll find not to buy an SUV. The BMW 2 Series is to cars what a Brazilian Ronaldo at Real Madrid was to football – chunkier and less athletic than its teammates in BMW's line-up, the Active Tourer is nevertheless quite capable of producing moments of brilliance that betray its ungainly appearance.
• 
  BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (2021 on) (Reviews)
  In the front, you'll find seats that are positioned low down in the cabin creating a sporty vibe, while there's the usual mix of soft-touch materials and high-quality fabrics. BMW's excellent 10.25-inch Live Cockpit Professional infotainment system is standard, while all BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe models get a slick digital instrument cluster, too. Buyers get the choice of the usual mix of petrol and diesel engines, ranging from the entry-level BMW 420i Gran Coupe with its 2.0-litre petrol engine, to the range-topping BMW M440i xDrive Gran Coupe.

  BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe (2020 on) (Reviews)
  It's not a car that needs to exist, if we're honest. But if you need more space than the two-door BMW 2 Series Coupe offers and don't want a BMW 1 Series (or even a BMW X1 ), the BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe could be the car for you. As we'll explain in our BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe review.

  BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe (2020 on) (Reviews)
  Making a four-door saloon from a two-door coupe may not be a conventional route, but BMW has proven with the 8 Series Gran Coupe that it can work. BMW is aware that while many people would like to drive a beautiful two-door coupe, real life dictates they need a four-seat saloon instead.

  BMW 5 Series Touring (2017 - 2024) (Reviews)
  Read on for our full review of the BMW 5 Series Touring. 
• 
  BMW 2 Series Convertible (2015 - 2021) (Reviews)
  This is a car that absolutely nails the brief for a compact premium cabriolet.  Creating a convertible like the 2 Series left BMW with plenty of boxes to tick. It had to please those who simply want a drop-top model to look cool, while also gratifying enthusiasts who expect a BMW to be fun to drive. Thankfully, it succeeded. The BMW 2 Series Convertible occupies a special niche in the market, being a compact drop-top with genuine driver appeal.
• 
  BMW 2 Series Coupe (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  Engine options range from economical diesels to the wild petrol M240i, The latter uses a turbocharged straight-six engine, and has the pace to scare pukka sports cars. BMW’s xDrive four-wheel drive can be added to certain models, while the eight-speed automatic gearbox is excellent.  There is genuinely a lot to like about the BMW 2 Series Coupe, and it has few rivals.

  BMW 4 Series Convertible (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  Premium convertibles are often at the forefront of motoring fashion, but the BMW 4 Series Convertible seems a little behind the times. Car manufacturers went through a phase of making cabriolets with folding metal roofs, but trends have since moved on. That leaves the 4 Series out by itself, flying the flag for hard-top convertibles. 
• 
  BMW 3 Series GT (2013 - 2020) (Reviews)
  This does somewhat come at the expense of handling though as the GT doesn't feel as agile as a standard 3 Series, and for many buyers this somewhat goes against one of the key appeals of buying a BMW in the first place. When new, the GT cost between £1300 and £1,600 more than a 3 Series Touring. That seems odd to us considering the 3 Series Touring is already a great family car.
• 
  BMW 3 Series Touring (2012 - 2019) (Reviews)
  Some rivals are cheaper, others are more practical, while some offer more kit for your money. But few estate cars are as desirable as the BMW 3 Series Touring. Is the BMW 3 Series Touring the perfect family car? Not quite, but if you’re after a classy, upmarket and practical alternative to a family SUV, the 3 Series Touring is hard to beat.
• 
  BMW 6 Series Convertible (2011 - 2018) (Reviews)
  BMW isn't short of quality convertibles. There's the great Z4 along with drop top variants of both the 2 Series and the 4 Series, but the ultimate BMW for open-top driving remains the 6 Series. This latest version continues the legacy of its predecessor without breaking the mould, but has some key improvements with more powerful yet efficient engines, improved room inside and increased refinement.

  BMW 5 Series Touring (2010 - 2017) (Reviews)
  As an all-rounder, a BMW 520d is hard to beat. All that’s left for you to decide is whether to opt for SE or M Sport trim.

  BMW 5 Series GT (2009 - 2017) (Reviews)
  Car makers are forever looking for the next big thing and, in 2009, BMW reckoned it had hit on this with the 5 Series Gran Turismo. The GT mixed up elements of the 7 Series luxury saloon that it borrowed most its under underpinnings from with coupe-cum-SUV looks. This mash up of different styles was supposed to make the BMW GT appeal to a broad selection of customers.

  BMW 3 Series Touring (2005 - 2012) (Reviews)
  After that we did 10 miles on rural Italian roads in a 320i with a front runflat running flat. The 10 miles with a rear runflat running flat. All a very impressive demonstration of BMW DSC and Bridgestone runflats, but hardly a fair introduction to the new E90 3-Series.

  BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo (2017 - 2019) (Reviews)
  As you'd expect on a top end BMW, it gets an electric tailgate as standard. Standard equipment also includes automatic climate control with an option to scale up to a four-zone system. Metallic paint is available in 10 colours along with two non-metallic hues, while BMW also offers a wider range of shades if you don’t mind dipping into your savings.
