BMW Alpina B4 Gran Coupé

It won’t lap as quickly as an M4, but the B4 S is still a seriously fast, comfortable and agile sports coupé

£93,215

BMW Alpina B5

Fuel consumption aside, the Alpina B5 combines everyday comfort and usability with staggering performance and exclusivity, even if it can’t quite match the BMW M5

£48,990

save at least £4,120 from RRP

BMW Alpina D5 S

The Alpina D5 S offers stunning performance but, in most other respects, feels too much like a regular BMW 5 Series to justify its large premium

£48,990

save at least £4,120 from RRP

BMW M135

The latest M135 combines a classy interior with plenty of pace but rivals are more fun

£29,469

save at least £3,171 from RRP

BMW M2

The BMW M2 is huge fun, fast and pretty practical by sports car standards, too.

£60,950

save at least £9,265 from RRP

BMW M240i

The BMW M240i is a superbly rounded performance coupé, if one that offers a little less driver involvement than its very best rivals.

£34,982

save at least £4,858 from RRP

BMW M3

One of the best four-door sports saloons you can buy. It's quite frenetic, though, and only really comes alive when driven hard.

£76,000

save at least £15,485 from RRP

BMW M4

The M4 is every bit as visceral to drive as the M3, but lacks the latter’s practicality and lower price.

£73,784

save at least £19,521 from RRP

BMW M5

Despite having the power to slay supercars, the BMW M5 is comfortable and no harder to drive than a regular 5 Series. However, it’s not quite as exciting as the Mercedes-AMG E63

£89,499

save at least £24,611 from RRP

BMW

Munich-based BMW is most famous for its sports saloons, in particular the 3 Series and 5 Series. However, it actually builds almost every type of car imaginable: everything from small coupés to seven-seat MPVs.

The cheapest model in the BMW range is the 1 Series hatchback, which is a rival to the Audi A3, Mercedes-Benz A-Class and Volkswagen Golf. Meanwhile, at the other extreme is the X7 luxury SUV, which can easily cost more than £100,000.

BMW was also quick to capitalise on the rise of the SUV and now has more than ten in its range, covering petrol, diesel, electric and plug-in hybrid power options.

All of this makes it one of the big three German prestige brands, along with Audi and Mercedes-Benz.
