The BMW X5 is more than a sport-sedan based luxury crossover—it’s a dedicated family hauler that exudes presence, luxury, and safety at every level. Available in four powertrain flavors, numerous packages and stand-alone options, there are plenty of ways to fit this SAV into your lifestyle. But you don’t need to opt for the most expensive model to get all its benefits.

Ever the quintessential sport sedan, the BMW 3 Series continues its forty years of benchmark success. If it’s on your wish-list, we don’t blame you in the least—especially considering its most popular variant is also the most well-rounded. If you’re new to the Ultimate Driving Machine, we recommend the 330i as the best starting place.

As the mid-range coupe in the BMW stable, the 4 Series offers a balance of the 2 Series’ impressive balance and the 6 Series lauded luxury and acceleration. But for the 2017 model year, those factors have been further bolstered thanks to two new engines. Already an all-star athlete, the coupe, convertible, and Gran Turismo will be more fun to drive than ever.

While competing premium automakers add dashes of sporty DNA to their crossovers, the BMW SAV lineup makes these qualities standard. In the case of the all-new 2018 X3 arriving in November, the xDrive30i will get M-Performance zest, while the M40i will offer the complete experience.

For the past thirty-one years, the BMW M3 has taken the Ultimate Driving Machine philosophy laid down by the 3 Series and gave it wings. Today, the 2017 model is one of the most lauded performance luxury sports sedans out there. Packing M Performance gear galore, including a TwinPower Turbo inline-six with 425 horsepower, 406 lb-ft of twist, and nary a hint of turbo lag, its reputation on paper pales on comparison to what it’s like behind the wheel.

In spite of BMW’s axing of the 6 Series coupe, it will be replaced by an even higher-end model. That’s what the Concept 8 Series is previewing—a flagship two door that exemplifies a high-end sports car with the latest in the brand’s styling, technology, and powertrains. Set to be unveiled in production form next year, we’re told most of its eye-catching design will carry over.

The BMW 3 Series is more than just its sedan offering and trims. With a hybrid, diesel, hatchback, and wagon, there are a lot more ways to have this slice of Ultimate Driving Machine. Although its held the position as the go-to sports sedan for forty years, its unique breed of driving engagement and pleasure can be had in any of these forms!

While the BMW M2 offers the best of performance in the 2 Series lineup, its technically a niche model, and might be too powerful for those just getting used to the level of sportiness inherent in the Ultimate Driving Machine. If you’re one of those types, the M240i isn’t to be seen as a compromise—but rather, an introduction.
