BMW
Ultimate Driving Machine
What attracts buyers to BMW may vary, but once behind the wheel most would agree that the brand's Ultimate Driving Machine moniker is well deserved. A visit to your local dealer will introduce you to a bevy of BMW cars ranging from the two-passenger BMW Z4 to the incredible M products, including the BMW M3, BMW M5, and BMW M6. Those high-performance machines are variants of the BMW series cars - the BMW 3 Series, BMW 5 Series, and BMW 6 Series - a lineup that also features the small but powerful BMW 1 Series and the large and luxurious BMW 7 Series. BMW also sells three SUVS: the BMW X3, BMW X5, and coupe-like BMW X6.
BMW's engines have been made more powerful to lure shoppers away from alternative models offered by the likes of Audi and Lexus. For example, the 215-horsepower BMW 325i has been replaced by the 230-horsepower 328i. Other engines offered by BMW include a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter, a six-cylinder diesel, four V-8s, and a 500-horse V-10 packed into the BMW M5 and BMW M6. All BMW models come with free maintenance for four years or 50,000 miles.
