The 1 Series is a premium compact hatchback that has recently switched to front-wheel-drive, while the 3 Series has been one of BMW’s best-sellers for decades, and is popular in both saloon and estate (Touring) guise. The bigger 5 Series offers comfort, space and sophistication, while the luxurious 7 Series is an executive saloon packed with technology.

For buyers looking at crossovers, BMW’s X2, X4 and X6 mix coupe and SUV styling for a more individual look, while the 2 Series, 4 Series, 6 Series and 8 Series models come in conventional coupe and convertible form.
