BMW
You sooooo want to hate these guys – they brag about the Ultimate Driving Machine and dammit they deliver exactly what they promise. In every sector expect definitive build quality and peerless engineering. The only Achilles heels are an addiction to run-flat tyres and a tendency to attract tossers.
7/10
£17,775 - £28,295
A brilliant premium hatch that appeals to both keen drivers and the economically minded.
6/10
£24,255 - £34,885
A perfectly nice small convertible BMW that does itself no favours by being based on the ungainly 1-Series. Sat in it, you quite like it. Look back at it, and you hurry away in case someone thinks its yours.
8/10
£21,960 - £40,020
The best of the ‘baby’ Beemer range, though at prices that suggest you might also mistake the most serious competition coming from BMW’s own 3-Series. The 135i starts at £30k - a 335i SE comes in at £31,660. Erp.
5/10
£22,125 - £27,205
Fun insight into future BMWs, but misses the MPV point.
7/10
£25,045 - £35,805
Far better looking than the 1-Series Coupe. Driving and owning qualities mark it out as a real BMW.
9/10
£24,880 - £43,235
The most complete compact exec and perhaps the best saloon of all.
7/10
£33,700 - £44,075
Refinement and tight dynamics come with a practicality price.
7/10
£27,000 - £41,185
BMW has raised the bar with the current generation of 3 Series Coupe. It's fast, frugal and fearless
9/10
£22,455 - £39,120
Being based on the best junior exec is a good start: this car is a belter.
8/10
£31,575 - £41,795
Solid, enjoyable and desirable, but not quite a thoroughbred sportster.
8/10
£29,830 - £73,505
The 5-Series perches right at the top of the executive saloon pile. It really is that good.
7/10
£50,435
Will go down a storm in the US, but of limited appeal here, despite its considerable pace.
4/10
£31,820 - £59,960
A car in search of an identity. If it keeps you out of the thuggish and poor-riding X5 or X6, then by all means go for it. But why not a 5-series Touring?
9/10
£29,505 - £56,595
Not as long as a Merc E, but this is the best large estate car on sale.
6/10
£59,550 - £71,840
The BMW 6-Series is a luxurious, huge Coupe that, thankfully, now looks good again. But its no sports coupe
6/10
£65,695 - £77,715
Replaces shock value for class and refinement, and is better for it.
8/10
£61,380 - £68,560
BMW has not been quick off the blocks with its four-door coupe, but the wait has been worth it: this is a lovely car.
7/10
£58,115 - £104,050
An all-new Seven that actually doesn’t look like it. It’s a great car – but some reservations about the ride and driving dynamics remain. Which is a weird thing to say about any BMW. Engines and gearboxes are superlative though.
9/10
£30,680 - £33,830
BMW has built the best electric car on sale. Yay, going green CAN be fun.
9/10
£31,100
The BMW performance hatch that makes the hot Golf look dear. It’s not quite a 1M, but it’s close.
8/10
£56,190
The daddy of all performance saloons, you’ll never be disappointed with a BMW M3. They combine the performance of a supercar, the practicality of a saloon and the fun-factor of a trip to Alton Towers while on a cocaine binge. Apparently.
9/10
£73,040
Ability to pulverize supercars while carrying four in massive comfort. Smokes tyres like you wouldn’t believe.
7/10
£93,820
Vastly quick and entirely capable, but it serves up its speed with a strange diffidence and sense of detachment. It pains - and surprises - us to report that the drop-top version is more fun. Not one of the great M legends.
7/10
£24,660 - £32,860
People like ‘em so who are we to argue: we just think BMW could have done a better job with the X1.
7/10
£28,580 - £42,225
BMW went back to the drawing board for this all-new X3, and it has worked wonders.
7/10
£47,895 - £63,920
You might not like to admit it, but the BMW X5 is a damn good car.
4/10
£60,340
BMW lets the M boys loose on the X5 SUV. It’s quick, but that’s about all you could say there is going for it. The green brigade are right about this SUV.
4/10
£46,740 - £85,710
Looks, frankly, terrible. The ultimate two-fingers to all other road users that takes up road space while not making the best use of it; coupe body over X5-sized chassis. It does however, drive like precisely nothing else on the road.
5/10
£29,480 - £45,330
Exchanges controversy and sportiness for blander aesthetics.
