BMW Reviews
Initially established as an airplane engine manufacturing company in 1916, Bavarian Motor Works didn't begin to focus on producing high-performance motorcycles and automobiles until after the First World War. While the blue-and-white-checked badge remains as a reminder of the brand's aeronautical origins (the blue and white representing the sky and an airplane propeller, respectively), today, BMW is known for its fleet of finely-tuned cars and SUVs, which includes the flagship 7-series sedans and the ultra-stylish Z sports coupes. Consult our reviews listed below for updated information and opinions on BMW's ever-growing line of luxury vehicles. |

BMW 650i Convertible
Boasting a powerful 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 along with a sleek and sexy exterior design, this attention getting soft-top convertible is as intelligent as it is athletic, with cool features like a voice-controlled navigation system and a side mirror alert system adding some brains to the 650i's substantial brawn. |

BMW 335i
Marrying clean lines with a comfortable, slightly roomier interior and a powerful new 300-horsepower, turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, the 2011 3-series is one of the better ones we've seen from BMW in recent years.

335i Coupe
After more than

ride and driver's environment. |

The first M Coupe
