A BMW offers you luxury, comfort, and in most cases, blistering performance as well. The legendary M3 is probably the most famous or infamous Bimmer still on the market today. When other automakers design and test new cars, they use BMWs as the benchmark. BMW keeps adding new cars to its lineup, the newest of all being the all-electric i7 electric luxury sedan for 2023. This comes after the 2022 i4, which is basically just an all-electric 4 series. If you want maximum performance go for any of the full-blown M cars: M3, M4, M5, or M8. But, if you want something milder, you can opt for the M performance package that's available on every car in the lineup. So, which one should you go for? Well, here's a brief of all of them.

2 Series - $38,395

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe is a tiny luxury sedan that delivers a lot of exuberance. The M240i and 230i models are both available in rear- or all-wheel-drive configurations and they differ in power levels. The 230i is equipped with a turbocharged 255 horsepower inline-four engine, which is used in numerous BMW automobiles. The M240i has a much more exciting 382 horsepower inline-six turbocharged engine. The only available transmission is a six-speed automatic. BMW's newest redesign has given its smallest car a surprisingly quick ride, with firm braking and an excellent handling character. It has grown in size but has a smaller rake than before. The most critical aspect of the 2 Series is its reward for spirited driving at an economical price, particularly for four-cylinder, 230i versions. A good entry point into the world of BMWs.

3 Series/M3 - $43,295/ $73,795

The BMW 3 Series sedan is a wonderful car for both, comfort and sportiness in 2023. This popular vehicle can be outfitted as a corner-carving sports sedan or as a well-appointed entry-luxury car—or both. Its three turbocharged powertrains provide both power and polish. The entry-level 330i and plug-in hybrid 330e provide excellent performance and fuel economy, while the turbocharged inline-six engine in the M340i delivers 382 horsepower, standing as the Bavarian Alps on this side of the Bavarian Alps. It does not have the style of the Alfa Romeo Giulia or the value-packed features list of the Genesis G70, but it is so well-rounded, athletic, and engaging to drive that it stands at the top of its category.

The M3 is BMW's most popular driver's car, and the present model demonstrates that the company still remembers what made many previous M vehicles popular instantly. You can purchase the standard M3, a 473-horsepower, rear-wheel, six-speed manual sedan, or the 503-horsepower M3 Competition, which is only available with an eight-speed automatic.

4 Series/M4 - $48,395/ $75,695

Although the 4 Series is similar to the 3 Series sedan in the driver’s seat, there is a significant visual distinction between the two. The four-door 3 Series is distinct in appearance from the two-door 4 Series, which includes a huge twin-kidney grille. The rear seat and trunk of the 4 Series are both smaller than those on the 3 Series sedan. The two-door 4 Series duo is quick, classy, and sophisticated, much like every BMW should be. Handling is not as sharp, particularly if you get the entry-level 430i with a turbocharged four-cylinder engine. The M440i is a rambunctious turbocharged inline-six that makes things more interesting, even though its backroad movements are not as special as we would hope. The M440i gets a 48-volt hybrid assist to make 382 horsepower from a silky-smooth turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. There is also a swoopy-styled four-door 4-series Gran Coupe for buyers who want both four doors and swoopy styling.

5 Series/M5 - $55,795/ $80,895

The BMW 5 Series sets the benchmarks in sports-sedan handling and ride when comparing competitors. The BMW executive sedan looks upscale and elegant, but it has a stealthy appearance which provides some respite from law enforcement. Law enforcement might look for you in the 540i or M550i, which can reach 60 miles per hour in 4.7 seconds and 3.5 seconds, respectively. A more relaxed 5 Series is available in the 530i and 530e, both of which are four-cylinder-powered and offer adequate power as well as superior fuel economy. The 5 Series includes ample space for passengers and a set of features that keep up with rivals like the Audi A6, Genesis G80, and Mercedes-Benz E-class. It might not be the sharpest handler, but the five can waft down the road as easily as a mid-size luxury cruiser.

7 Series - $94,295

The BMW 7 Series sedan has been redesigned for the model year 2023. powertrains include a turbocharged inline-six and a twin-turbo V-8, with a plug-in hybrid joining the lineup later. The 7 Series glides down the road much more smoothly than the 2022 model. The chassis and suspension have been altered to make it more nimble, resulting in improved handling. An optional 31.3-inch rear entertainment display named Theater Screen is available, which drops from the roof and streams television and movies using the onboard Wi-Fi connection. It's for highway commuting and includes semi-autonomous driving assistance.

8 Series/M8 - $88,495/ $136,095

The 2023 BMW 8 Series lineup comprises an elegantly styled sedan, coupe, and convertible models. Among the 8 Series Gran Coupe variations, both of the two-door styles are fabulous boulevard runners. The M8 model is apt to fit your needs if you're seeking for extreme performance. The BMW M8 is capable of generating the kind of acceleration that gets the car to 60 miles per hour in just 2.5 seconds. The BMW M8 reaches 129 miles per hour in 10.7 seconds as it covers a quarter-mile of road. That's faster than a 710-horsepower Ferrari 488 Pista, coming from a car that weighs more than two tons and has a rear seat. All-wheel drive traction and an overachieving engine are responsible. The 2023 8 Series has a beautiful, quiet interior, in spite of having poor outward visibility and a cramped back seat. The BMWs offer a smoother ride and handling balance, in addition to an unquestionably high-end experience. The Lexus LC will attract more attention, but the Bimmers offer a better experience.

Z4 - $50,895

The 2022 BMW Z4 convertible is meant to deliver confident handling and a powerful turbocharged engine. In addition to being a wonderful sports car, the Z4's luxurious cabin also makes it a suitable daily driver. Coupled with a peppy turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the M40i model offers a twin-turbo inline-six-cylinder engine. The Z4 is rear-wheel drive and features an eight-speed automatic transmission that's well-tuned for both highway driving and sporty driving. Handling is not as sharp as a Porsche Boxster, but it is still plenty of fun on twisting roads. If you want a hardtop coupe instead of a soft top convertible, take a look at the mechanically similar Toyota Supra, which was created alongside the BMW.

i4 - $56,895

The BMW i4 all-electric sedan is an important element of BMW's growing EV lineup. It is a sophisticated electric sports car that combines the appearance of the 4-series Gran Coupe with a battery powertrain and superb road manners. The following three i4 models are available: The eDrive35 has a 281 horsepower engine and 260 miles of range, while the eDrive40 has a 335 horsepower engine with an estimated 300 miles of driving. The i4 M50 is a spicy all-wheel-drive, 536-horsepower machine that drives similar to an M3. This version has a 245-mile range and offers 536 horsepower. It has a 0.2-second advantage over an M3 Competition in reaching 60 mph, and it can accelerate from 50 to 70 mph in just 2.0 seconds. Driving the i4 for daily commuting is an excellent experience. It is a thrilling sports sedan that is smooth and comfortable to drive. Compared to other M cars, it is an interesting and refined sports car with a supple ride and sporting handling.

i7 - $120,295

As Mercedes’s EQS electric sedan comes out, BMW has announced an all-electric luxury sedan, the i7. The i7 is powered by two electric motors and includes the same level of luxury as its gasoline-powered counterpart. The i7 sedan concept was recently introduced, but the one slated for production in 2023 is more sedate, particularly in its front design, which includes unusually large grille intakes and split-element headlamps. A range of state-of-the-art technology features are incorporated with opulent materials to create a luxurious, whisper-quiet vehicle, both in the back as well as in the front. If you can look part the funky, loud styling, the i7 might be one of the best luxury electric sedans currently on sale.
