  BMW 5-Series (1972 - 1981) (Classics Reviews)
  When it was launched in 1972, the 5-Series was tasked with building on the success of the legendary ‘Neue-klasse’ saloons that did so much to cement BMW as a top-line motor manufacturer. It’s fair to say that it not only met those expectations, but went on to carve a prosperous

  BMW CS and CSi (1969 - 1975) (Classics Reviews)
  The first BMW Coupe - the 2000CS - was a disarmingly attractive, and won many friends, even if it didn't go quite as well as it looked. The follow-up car, more closely aligned with the 2.5/2.8/3.0-litre cars, played on the visual strengths of the older car, but in a faster, roomier package

  BMW 02-Series (1966 - 1977) (Classics Reviews)
  Initially known as the 1600-2, as the first 02-Series' was a new entry-level BMW, created as a logical down-scaling of the 1500-2000. The 1600-2 (the -2 meaning two-door)was launched at the Geneva auto show in March 1966and was sold through 1975, with its name simplified to 1602 in 1971

  BMW 503 Coupe (1956 - 1959) (Classics Reviews)
  BMW might have been struggling for survival in the 1950s, but the 503 remained one of the most effective upmarket sporting cars money could buy. It topped the BMW range, which could have been more unbalanced – with this range of luxury cars at one end

  BMW 501 and 502 (1952 - 1964) (Classics Reviews)
  Having lost everything it had achieved by the end of WW2, BMW might have retained its excellent image built since the purchase of the Dixi car company in 1928, but it needed to start from scratch in a new factory in Munich. Despite this huge setback, it targeted

  BMW 2 Series Active Tourer (2022 on) (Reviews)
  Yes, it may not look like it, but the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer can grip corners like a (slightly sleepy) hot hatch and has beautifully weighted controls that make it a fun and fulfilling car to drive quickly. You'd have
• 
  BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe (2021 on) (Reviews)
  If you're looking for a logical reason to buy the BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe, you're not going to find one here. It's more expensive and less practical than a 3 Series, but – just like competitors – it's a niche offering with a serious amount of showroom appeal. In fairness, it's hardly
• 
  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
• 
  BMW 8 Series Gran Coupe (2020 on) (Reviews)
  What makes the Gran Coupe unusual is that it was the third version of the current 8 Series range to be released. Manufacturers typically base two-door models on an existing four-door saloon, whereas BMW flipped this on its head. The rationale was to ensure the Gran Coupe maintained

  BMW 1 Series 2019 Road Test 25 Sep 2019 (roadtest)
  This is a test of two parts: first the new F40 BMW 118i DCT; and secondly the F40 BMW M135i Steptronic. The new front-drive or xDrive 4WD 1 Series are 5mm shorter than the previous rear-drive F20 1-Series, but with transverse engines are much more spacious inside, with 33mm extra rear legroom

  BMW 840d xDrive 2019 Road Test 18 Dec 2018 (roadtest)
  Is this the most attractive BMW currently on sale? We reckon so . And what else would you expect, from the firm’s new flagship model, intended to take on the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe and Bentley Continental GT? An indirect

  BMW 530d Touring 2017 Road Test 3 Jul 2017 (roadtest)
  We tested the 2017 BMW 5-Series Touring for half a day  here . And the G30 530d on a 1,500-mile road trip here . Dan Powell tested the 530e i

  BMW 530e iPerformance 2017 Road Test 16 Jun 2017 (roadtest)
  The 530e iPerformance is   BMW ’s first large premium exec to get the plug-in hybrid treatment and - on paper at least - it reads like the utopian answer

  BMW 530d xDrive 2017 Road Test 27 Feb 2017 (roadtest)
  The 2017 BMW 5-Series G30 is the seventh generation of the BMW 5-Series, an event that has occurred roughly every seven years since 1972. With one or two annual exceptions it comprehensively out-sells the competition, so this is a very important car for BMW and one

  BMW 1 Series 2015 Road Test 29 Apr 2015 (roadtest)
  Mid-life refreshes rarely transform the look of a car – but the updated BMW 1 Series bucks the trend. The old model’s sad, droopy headlights have been replaced by a much slimmer and more purposeful design like those on the 3 Series, while the rear gets wider tail lights

  BMW 2 Series Convertible (2015 - 2021) (Reviews)
  Since launch in late 2014, BMW has managed to sell more than 750,000 examples of the 2 Series Coupe and Convertible across the globe. Given that sports cars typically sell in smaller volumes, it is a glowing endorsement for the car’s overall package
• 
  BMW 2 Series Coupe (2014 - 2020) (Reviews)
  Good looking and even better to drive, the BMW 2 Series Coupe has found plenty of fans since launch in 2014. It still holds plenty of appeal now, with time having not dulled its handsome lines, and the rear-wheel-drive layout continuing to win over enthusiastic drivers
• 
  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

  BMW 318d Gran Turismo Road Test 30 Apr 2013 (roadtest)
  The BMW 3-Series Gran Turismo answers a lot of people’s criticism of BMWs generally.  It’s softer. Even with the M-Sport pack and on 225/40 R19 tyres it rides comfortably, absorbing minor bumps, ridges and undulations very well indeed

  BMW 3 Series GT (2013 - 2020) (Reviews)
  folding rear seats. If you can’t stomach the idea of owning an estate but still want the most amount of space, the GT does at least give you one without the other. The 3 Series is also the first BMW to come with an active spoiler which raises at 68mph to reduce drag
