BMW i3

Revised hatchback sets out its range-extended electric stall in a new, sportier tune

From £30,2508

BMW X3

The stakes have never been higher for BMW’s mid-sized SUV, now the X3 in its third generation. So can it deliver?

BMW M5

Has the adoption of four-wheel drive for the first time on a BMW M5 compromised the super-saloon’s famed handling purity?

BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo

The high-rised 5 Series GT was a troubled car. Has BMW sorted it this time round with the 6 Series Gran Turismo?

BMW 330e iPerformance

After five years, the current BMW 3 Series gains a plug-in powertrain. We find out if it was worth the wait?

BMW 5 Series

The BMW 5 Series has been the go-to mid-sized executive saloon, and G30 generation brings 7 Series luxury limo quality to the class, but is it still the best?

From £35,8359

BMW M2

The BMW M2 is the smallest M car in the range, but can it live up to the prodigious name?

From £43,7709

BMW 7 Series

New-generation luxury saloon is a technological tour de force

From £63,2408

BMW X1

New crossover is quite different from its forebear but is it better?

From £27,0708

BMW M6

With more than 550bhp under the bonnet, the BMW M6 is more than just a ballastic Autobahn missile, but also a competent cruiser when you want it to be

From £91,6008

BMW 1 Series

A final facelift for the rear-wheel drive BMW 1 Series, as it aims to take class honours from the formidable Audi A3 and the Mercedes-Benz A-Class

From £19,0757

BMW X5 M costs from £90,180

BMW X5 M

Can the new X5 summon up the charisma expected of the M badge?

From £90,6308

BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer

You won't find another premium, all-wheel-drive, seven-seat compact MPV like BMW's xDrive 2 Series Gran Tourer, but is there a reason for that?

From £24,6407

BMW 2 Series Convertible

BMW's smallest drop-top grows outwards and grows up but can it apply pressure on the Audi TT Roadster and Mercedes-Benz SLC?

From £26,1508

BMW X6

The BMW X6 is an improvement on the previous generation, although the competition it faces is stronger than ever

From £56,6908

BMW X6 M

The 2015 BMW X6 M is the second generation of the company's ultimate performance coupe-like SUV

From £93,5306

The BMW 2-series Active Tourer goes up against the likes of the Volkswagen Golf SV and Ford C-Max

BMW 2 Series Active Tourer

BMW dips its toe into front-wheel drive with an upmarket MPV

From £22,9408

The BMW i8 joins the i3 as part of the firm's 'i' range of vehicles

BMW i8

Can BMW's baby hypercar blow the lid off performance convention?

From £103,9309

We suspect the reason for the BMW X4's creation is because of the Porsche Macan

BMW X4

The X6 is a showroom hit. Does its smaller brother deserve to be?

From £37,0107

BMW M3

You’d imagine that a higher roofline and four doors would hinder the BMW M3 saloon’s capabilities compared to the M4, but you'd be wrong

From £55,9258

BMW M4

New name, new engine and two turbos and even a much needed facelift, the main question lingers - can the BMW M4 grab the initiative off of the Mercedes-AMG C 63 Coupé

From £56,3858

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé

The luxurious and stylish BMW 4 Series Gran Coupé goes toe-to-toe with the fresh-faced Audi A5 Sportback, but is it enough to turn customers' heads towards Munich rather than Inglostadt?

From £29,7008

BMW M240i

Part of BMW's M Performance 'warm' range, but does the facelifted M240i have enough about it to become a performance icon?

From £33,9559

BMW 2 Series

The BMW 2 Series Coupé marks a successful return of the 1 Series Coupé. Overall it is a more compelling package than before but can it drive buyers away from the Audi TT and conventional hatchbacks?

From £22,5909

BMW M135i 2012-2014

Not quite a 1M, but more usable and outstanding value for money

BMW i3

BMW made waves with Europe’s first premium-brand compact EV, and continued development means the i3 keeps upping the ante

BMW X5

The X5 sticks to BMW's well-proven SUV formula, delivering a competent and refined off-roader – but one that's lacking the extra flourishes found in a Range Rover Sport or Porsche Cayenne Turbo

From £46,2607

BMW 4 Series

The facelifted BMW 4 Series has improved on an already solid proposition but can it hold off the likes of the latest generation Audi A5 and Mercedes-Benz C-Class Coupé?

From £29,7008

The latest BMW M5 gets twin-turbocharged V8 engine

BMW M5 2011-2016

The BMW M5 is crushingly capable, but some of the charm of old M5s is gone

From £71,4709

BMW X1 2009-2015

The BMW X1 is fine to drive, but buyers looking for premium feel may be better served by rivals' offerings

From £23,8808

BMW 5 Series Touring 2010-2017

The BMW 5 Series Touring is a compelling premium estate, offering good space and efficiency, plus decent dynamics

BMW 3 Series GT

BMW produced the 3 Series GT hatchback to give the range another string to its bow, but the execution has led to too many compromises

From £29,9008

BMW 3 Series

The BMW 3 Series' outstanding performance and handling makes it a complete and consummate all-rounder - but then the Jaguar XE and Alfa Romeo Guilia arrived

From £24,8008

BMW 3 Series Touring

The formidable 3 Series is equally compelling in estate form but is it enough to driver buyers away from the Audi A4 Avant and the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate?

From £26,1009

BMW ActiveHybrid 5 2011-2015

The BMW ActiveHybrid 5 sees the company fitting a petrol-electric powertrain to its 5 Series executive saloon

From £45,9506

BMW 3 Series Coupe 2006-2013

The BMW 3 Series Coupe is stylish, recently updated and has an unrivalled blend of performance and economy

From £26,0908

BMW 7 Series 2008-2015

Technology-laden BMW 7 Series looks better than its predecessors, but is ultimately disappointing

From £56,3257

BMW 1 Series M Coupe 2011-2011

Can the BMW 1 Series M Coupé, with its antiquated origins, deliver?

BMW M3 2007-2013

The latest generation BMW M3 isn't as thrilling as the original E30 M3, but it's still mighty

From £51,4408

BMW 1 Series 2011-2015

Measures up on comfort and space, but the BMW 1 Series is still boring to drive

BMW X5 2007-2013

The big BMW X5 SUV may be getting a little long in the tooth, but it’s still one of the best all-rounders in its class

From £43,8308

BMW 5 Series GT 2009-2017

The 5 Series Gran Turismo is an interesting concept, but the execution is flawed

From £37,2207

The BMW Z4 has more comfort and added practicality, but has it gone soft?

BMW Z4 2009-2016

The BMW Z4 is a fine-looking two-seat roadster with indifferent driving dynamics

From £28,8807

The BMW X6 has challenging looks but impressive dynamics. It is good value too

BMW X6 2008-2014

The BMW X6 is a hard riding but generally accomplished big soft-roader. Just make sure you can live with the looks

From £46,4358

BMW X3 2011-2017

The BMW X3 is both frugal and rewarding to drive, a rare and clever technical achievement

From £31,9458
