car reviews

Interior furnishing and screen systems take priority over how it drives. Many love it for that, but not us

Goes, stops, and steers like a proper M special. No compromise in practicality

For the vast majority of us, the 3 Series Touring is all the car we could use or want. For the final one per cent there will soon be the M3 Touring

One of the automotive woodland's great oaks. Stronger, crispier and all-roundier than ever before

The quickest M5 ever is also the comfiest M5 ever. Maybe the most complete super saloon of them all

The X3 has never done BMW much credit, but the current one is a thorough enough job to take on the class best

BMW may have made the switch to front-wheel drive, but the 1 Series doesn’t suffer (too much) because of it

It's comfy, it drives well, it's got performance *and* eco options... There's really not much to criticise

Nothing in the BMW range - nor any rival factory - stretches a band across the three legs of drivability, style and practicality like the 4 Series Gran Coupe

It's a BMW 5 Series: very refined, great to drive and features loads of tech

A very capable all-rounder that has something to offer just about anyone who might conceivably be interested in it, but not without fault

Time to blow the dust off the 'all the car you'd ever need or want' cliche... The big E has all bases covered.

Everything you'd ever need from a posh saloon, except just a little flash of soul

Life's pretty great inside the new 4, not just because you don't have to look at it

The X6-by-Benz is much better than the old one, but doesn’t enjoy life around town

Surprise, Surprise - big Mercedes is excellent. And far less obnoxious to look at than its closest rival.

Far from M Division’s finest hour. Flashy and fast, but you couldn’t live with this ride

Can BMW’s ultimate limo finally beat the Mercedes S-class, by a nose? Not quite.

It's very competent across the board, but not greatly different from the rest of the BMW range

BMW X1 review: by going transverse-engined the X1 has become technically less distinctive, but more useful in the real world.

BMW's big hatch prioritises people space over the boot, and that's how it's different from a Touring.
