BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe saloon (2012 – ) expert review
The BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe goes head to head with the Mercedes CLS, Porsche Panamera and Audi A7. As such, it's a sporting saloon with coupé-like styling that's stylish and swift, and equally suited to those who like to drive, as those who like to be driven.

BMW 1 Series hatchback (2011 – ) expert review
The BMW 1-series hatchback now has a class-leading interior to go with those fantastic driving dynamics, but it’s still a confused offering in the small family car market with controversial styling and poor rear packaging.

BMW 3 Series Touring estate (2005 – ) expert review
The BMW 3 Series Touring has it all: bomb-proof build quality, excellent dynamics and a sky-high image. But despite the desirability, it must be said that the purchase price and running costs can be high.
