BMW Alpina XB7

Fast, luxurious and hugely practical, but so is the much cheaper BMW X7 M50i on which it’s based

£74,335

BMW M135

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

£29,900

save at least £2,740 from RRP

BMW M2

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

£59,459

save at least £10,756 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.

£36,352

save at least £3,488 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.

£78,500

save at least £12,985 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.

£73,999

save at least £19,306 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

£93,999

save at least £20,111 from RRP

BMW M8

The BMW M8 is a luxurious and very rapid coupé grand tourer that's also available as a convertible

£145,540

BMW X1

The X1 is a spacious premium family SUV that's available as a plug-in hybrid

£35,750

save at least £1,790 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.
