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

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

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.
