BMW lineup.
BMW builds rear- and all-wheel-drive luxury cars and SUVs, with an M performance version of most of them. The lineup runs from the 2 Series coupe to the three-row X7, with electric range in the i4, i5, i7, and iX. Every new BMW includes 3 years of complimentary factory maintenance.
Sedans & coupes.
BMW 2 Series
The entry point to the BMW lineup: the rear-drive coupe drives like the classic small BMWs, and the M2 is a full M car for the price of a mid-trim SUV.
BMW 3 Series
The sedan every other sport sedan is measured against, for five decades running. From efficient commuter to 523 hp M3, the spread is enormous.
BMW 4 Series
The 3 Series in a sleeker suit: coupe, convertible, and the practical Gran Coupe hatchback, topped by the M4.
BMW 5 Series
The executive-class BMW, all-new generation: quiet, tech-rich, and still the driver's choice in its class. The electric i5 shares this body if you want zero gas.
BMW 7 Series
BMW's S-Class rival: theater screen in the back, automatic doors, and a cabin that makes the price make sense. The electric i7 is the same car without the engine.
SUVs.
BMW X1
The entry BMW SUV. Standard AWD, punchy engines, real BMW cabin.
BMW X2
The X1's rakish sibling: same mechanicals, sloped roofline, more attitude.
BMW X3
Fully redesigned: bigger, quieter, and more efficient, with mild hybrid power across the board.
BMW X5
The SUV that invented the sports activity vehicle idea, and still in the lineup: strong engines, real towing, and a plug-in hybrid with genuine electric range.
BMW X6
The X5 with a fastback roof: same power, more presence, a bit less cargo. You buy it for the look.
BMW X7
BMW's biggest SUV: three real rows, first-class cabin, and it still hustles like a BMW.
Electric.
BMW i4
The electric 4 Series Gran Coupe: normal BMW looks, hatchback practicality, and up to roughly 318 miles of range.
BMW i5
The electric 5 Series: identical cabin and comfort to the gas car, up to roughly 320 miles of range, also available as a Touring wagon.
BMW i7
The 7 Series without the engine: silent, theater-screen luxury with up to roughly 321 miles of range.
BMW iX
BMW's dedicated electric SUV, freshly updated with more range: up to roughly 364 miles, a quiet cabin, and rising output up the trim ladder.
Sports cars.
BMW Z4
BMW's two-seat convertible in its final run: grab one while you can, because a new soft-top BMW roadster is not on the calendar.

i3 Sedan
The second Neue Klasse model: the iX3's 800-volt tech in a 3 Series-sized electric sedan.
Questions.
What is the cheapest new BMW?
The 2 Series Gran Coupe is the entry point, typically starting in the low $40Ks, with the X1 SUV close behind. Plus each dealership's own documentary fee (not a government fee), taxes, and government fees. When a participating dealership lists one on The Model Black, the listing shows your estimated monthly payment with local taxes and fees included, so you can compare the true cost, not just MSRP.
Are BMWs expensive to maintain?
Early on: every new BMW includes Ultimate Care, complimentary factory maintenance for 3 years or 36,000 miles. After that, maintenance costs rise, so budget for it, or look at a CPO with extended coverage.
What is the difference between an M car and an M Sport or M-lite model?
Three tiers. M Sport is an appearance and handling package on regular models. M Performance models like the M340i or X3 M50 add a significantly stronger engine and upgraded chassis. Full M cars like the M3, M4, and X5 M are developed by BMW M with bespoke engines, suspensions, and track capability, and they are priced accordingly.
Is a certified pre-owned BMW worth it?
Often, yes. BMW CPO adds at least a 1 year / unlimited mile warranty on top of any remaining factory coverage, and because a BMW gives up much of its value in the first years, a 2 to 3 year old CPO BMW can cost dramatically less than new while still carrying real coverage.
Should I lease or buy a BMW?
BMW Financial frequently supports leases with strong residuals and incentives, and leasing sidesteps out-of-warranty repair risk. If you keep cars 8 or more years, buying still wins. When a participating dealership lists one, The Model Black shows the estimated payment either way.
