The BMW 3 Series is an automotive icon. It's available in sedan, sport wagon, and Gran Turismo body styles. You can get yours in 320i, 330i, 330e, 340i and 328d trims...

There are plenty of choices among compact luxury SUVs, but few offer the blend of performance and utility as the impressive 2017 BMW X1. Add in that Bavarian dose of engagement and dynamism that all the brand’s models offer, and you have an enticing prospect. Even though it’s the only SUV in BMW’s lineup with standard front-wheel drive, it’s still a blast.

That the BMW 5 Series is all new for the 2017 model year is old news at this juncture. But many have become concerned about the amount of automated safety tech the new sedan has on tap. As one of the prime examples of the brand’s “Ultimate Driving Machine” tagline, some are worried the 5 Series may not live up to the hype.

Top shelf luxury models like the BMW 7 Series are in a class all their own. They exude the best an automaker is made of, and the most recent update to the Munich flagship is no different. However, some wanted more. They wanted more performance--an M7. In a way, BMW has answered their prayers with the Alpina B7 xDrive.
