Munich’s M8 Coupé has all the power and tech of the M5, in a more svelte package

From £120,9707

BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe

Take 1 Series underpinnings, top with a rakish body and what do you have? Let’s find out

BMW X5 M Competition

Range-topping SUV arrives with a 616bhp petrol V8 borrowed from the M5 super saloon. Is it just as engaging?

BMW X6 M Competition

Big on brawn and sheer pace but the X6 M Competition lacks the driving finesse of the best of BMW’s M cars and its ride is borderline firm for everyday driving

BMW 3 Series Touring

Can a six-pot diesel engine and bigger boot make the 3 Series even more appealing?

BMW X4 M Competition

Divisive ‘sports activity coupé’ is meant to drive like an M3 on stilts. So, does it?

In compelling 320d guise, Munich’s seventh-generation 3 Series successfully reclaims compact executive class honours

From £28,35010

Has many of the dynamic hallmarks of BMW’s best M cars, but lacks a bit of effusive performance charm and SUV-typical dynamic versatility

BMW flagship returns after a 20-year hiatus to inject some glamour into the brand

From £71,4358

BMW X5

In its 20th birthday year, is BMW’s original SUV back to its very best?

From £60,1258

BMW Z4

BMW’s Porsche Boxster rival is better to drive than ever, although it still makes a better high-day open-top cruiser than a true sports car

From £38,1658

BMW X4

Second-generation SUV more mature and arguably more engaging than predecessor but more expensive, too

From £44,5658

BMW i8 Roadster

Few cars make as powerful a visual statement as the BMW i8, and losing the roof only enhances its futuristic lines

From £124,7358

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

After five years, the F30-generation BMW 3 Series gains a plug-in powertrain. We find out if it was worth the wait

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, but competing luxury saloons like the Mercedes S-Class and Tesla Model S have set a high bar

From £62,9608

BMW X1

New crossover is quite different from its forebear, but is this updated X1 better - and does it have the premium edge over Audi, Mercedes and Land Rover?

From £29,4558

BMW M6 2012-2017

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

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 2015-2018

Can the new X5 summon up the charisma expected of the M badge, or does it fall short of rivals from Porsche and Mercedes-AMG?

From £90,6308

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?

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 2014-2018

The X6 is a showroom hit, but does the smaller X4 also deserve to be when the X3 is the more practical sports SUV - and the Porsche Macan exists?

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

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 £59,5808

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

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

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 £24,6509

BMW M135i 2012-2014

Not quite a 1M, but more usable and outstanding value for money, undercutting the rival Mercedes-AMG A45 and delivering greater driving thrills

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 2013-2018

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

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 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 2014-2018

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 2012-2019

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 £29,7509
