BMW Guide
BMW remains one of the world's best-known premium car manufacturers, offering everything from compact hatchbacks to luxury saloons, performance models and large SUVs. While the brand has long been associated with engaging driving dynamics, today's line-up also places greater emphasis on comfort, technology and everyday usability. A broad choice of petrol, diesel, plug-in hybrid and fully electric models ensures there is a BMW to suit almost every type of buyer, with many continuing to set the benchmark for quality, refinement and overall ownership appeal.
Current Models
1-Series (19-) | RRP From : £32,640 |
The 1 Series remains one of the best all-round premium hatchbacks, combining competitive pricing with smart styling, a high-quality interior and strong technology. Passenger space and the 380-litre boot are competitive, while BMW's latest infotainment is easy to use. It remains composed and enjoyable to drive without compromising everyday refinement.
2 Series Gran Coupe (20-) | RRP From : £36,570 |
The 2 Series Gran Coupe blends sleek styling with the practicality of four doors at a competitive price. Rear headroom is inevitably tighter than an SUV, while the boot is useful rather than outstanding. Inside, it feels modern and well built, with BMW's latest technology complementing secure, refined road manners.
2 Series Coupe (21-) | RRP From : £39,840 |
One of the few affordable rear-wheel-drive coupes still on sale, the 2 Series Coupe delivers distinctive styling and strong performance. Rear seats are best reserved for occasional use, but the boot is surprisingly practical. High-quality materials and engaging handling make it an appealing choice for enthusiasts without sacrificing everyday usability.
3 Series (19-) | RRP From : £41,945 |
The 3 Series continues to strike an excellent balance between value, comfort and quality. Cabin space and practicality remain competitive, while Touring and plug-in hybrid versions broaden its appeal. The interior is modern without being distracting, and although rivals have narrowed the dynamic gap, it remains refined and confidence inspiring.
4 Series / i4 (20-) | RRP From : £46,180 |
Available as a Coupe, Gran Coupe or fully electric i4, the 4 Series range offers broad appeal with distinctive styling and a premium interior. The Gran Coupe adds welcome practicality, while the i4 combines strong performance with everyday usability. Rear headroom is slightly compromised, but overall refinement remains excellent.
5 Series / i5 (23-) | RRP From : £53,110 |
The latest 5 Series offers generous space, impressive refinement and a broad choice of electrified powertrains at competitive prices. Saloon and Touring models are both highly practical, while the cabin combines premium materials with intuitive technology. It retains the poised, reassuring driving manners expected of a BMW, making it equally suited to commuting and long-distance journeys.
7 Series / i7 (22-) | RRP From : £104,230 |
BMW's flagship offers limousine levels of space, technology and refinement, whether as a plug-in hybrid or fully electric i7. Pricing is competitive alongside luxury rivals, while rear-seat comfort is a clear highlight. Its imposing size limits manoeuvrability, but few cars deliver such effortless long-distance comfort.
X1 / iX1 (22-) | RRP From : £40,515 |
The X1 has grown into one of the most practical premium family SUVs, offering generous passenger space and a large boot without becoming difficult to drive. Strong value, a high-quality interior and an excellent range of petrol, hybrid and electric models make it one of the class benchmarks.
X2 / iX2 (24-) | RRP From : £43,900 |
Larger and more practical than its predecessor, the latest X2 adopts a coupe-SUV look without sacrificing too much everyday usability. Competitive pricing, a premium cabin and a wide choice of powertrains strengthen its appeal, although rear visibility is less impressive than the more conventional X1.
X3 (25-) | RRP From : £48,375 |
The latest X3 combines generous passenger space, a practical boot and competitive pricing in one of the market's strongest premium SUV packages. The interior feels modern and well finished, with technology that's easy to live with every day. It strikes an excellent balance between comfort, refinement and driver confidence without leaning too heavily in either direction.
iX3 (26-) | RRP From : £53,250 |
BMW's dedicated electric iX3 offers strong range, premium quality and competitive pricing in an increasingly crowded segment. Passenger space remains generous, although the boot trails some rivals slightly. Comfortable ride quality, quiet refinement and intuitive technology make it an easy EV to live with every day.
X5 (18-) | RRP From : £82,255 |
The X5 continues to be one of the most rounded large premium SUVs, combining generous space, impressive refinement and strong value against key rivals. Build quality remains excellent, while plug-in hybrid versions add impressive efficiency. Despite its size, it remains composed and confidence inspiring on the road.
X6 (19-) | RRP From : £82,125 |
The X6 trades a little practicality for its distinctive coupe-SUV styling, creating one of BMW's most recognisable models. Interior quality and technology remain first class, while the driving experience blends refinement with reassuring composure. Buyers prioritising outright boot space may prefer the closely related X5.
X7 (22-) | RRP From : £93,280 |
BMW's largest SUV offers genuine seven-seat practicality, a luxurious cabin and impressive long-distance comfort. Pricing compares well with similarly sized premium rivals, while the interior feels suitably special. Its sheer size can make town driving challenging, but few vehicles combine space, refinement and versatility so effectively.
