2010 BMW 3-Series Review
The 2010 BMW 3 Series has long been America's best-selling luxury car, and we see no reason why it won't retain its crown. Automotive journalists and consumers agree that the 3 is the segment leader, which highlights its irresistible appeal to enthusiasts and casual drivers alike. There are worthy rivals, of course, including the powerful Infiniti G37, the striking Cadillac CTS and the Euro-chic Audi A4. But even as the twilight of this model's production run approaches, the 3 Series continues to reign supreme.

Walkaround
The 2010 BMW 3 Series is available in sedan, wagon, coupe and hardtop-convertible body styles. The base model for all styles is the rear-wheel-drive 328i, while the coupe, sedan and wagon also come in all-wheel-drive 328i xDrive guise. All but the wagon are available as the rear-drive 335i, while the sedan and coupe can be had in 335i xDrive form. The range-topping sedan model is the diesel-powered 335d. The Premium package adds leather upholstery (heat-reflective in the convertible), auto-dimming mirrors, Bluetooth connectivity, BMW Assist telematics and, on 328i models, a sunroof and power seats with driver memory. The Sport package specifies a firmer suspension on convertibles, sedans and wagons (the coupe already has this as standard) and all get larger wheels, sport seats and steering wheel, and special "Shadowline" exterior trim. The Climate package adds heated front seats and steering wheel, retractable headlight washers and fold-down rear seats (though the latter are unavailable in the convertible). Many of these items can be had as stand-alone options. Among the la carte options are xenon headlights and a sunroof (328i only), automatic high beams, a hard-drive-based navigation system with the iDrive controller, keyless ignition/entry, active cruise control, front and rear parking assist, an active steering system (335i only), paddle shifters for the optional automatic transmission, rear window shades, satellite radio, an iPod adapter and a Logic 7 surround-sound audio system.

Summary
Driving is what the 2010 BMW 3 Series does best. The 328i's naturally aspirated inline-6 is otherworldly in its smoothness from idle to redline, and it has enough power to suit most tastes. Those in search of something more will be well-served by the twin- turbo 335i, which maintains the 328i's refinement while adding a huge wallop of torque that's always on tap. The 335d is perhaps the biggest hoot of them all, serving up face-flattening torque off the line and a uniquely muscular soundtrack while using the least fuel of the bunch.

2010 BMW X5 Review
The 2010 BMW X5 lineup gains a high-performance M model. This premium midsize SUV seats up to seven and is offered in four models, each with standard all-wheel drive. The xDrive30i reprises a 260-hp 3.0-liter 6-cylinder engine. The xDrive48i has a 350-hp 4.8-liter V8. The xDrive35d has a 265-hp 3.0-liter turbodiesel 6-cylinder that is emissions legal in all 50 states. The X5 M has a 555-hp 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8. The sole transmission for all models is a 6-speed automatic. Maximum towing capacity is 6000 lb. Standard seating is for five, but an optional 3rd row expands capacity to seven. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, front side airbags, and curtain side airbags. Hill descent control is standard. All X5s have BMW's iDrive that uses a single knob to control entertainment, communication, navigation, and climate functions. An optional Sport Package includes BMW's Active Roll Stabilization, which counters body lean. Active Steering, designed to quicken low-speed steering response is also optional. Available features include a navigation system, head-up instrument display, DVD entertainment, rearview camera with front- and rear-obstacle detection, heated front and rear seats, and BMW Assist concierge service with wireless cell-phone link. BMW was the world's first automobile manufacture to produce V8 engines. Using the most modern technology, BMW has created engines that lead the way. The 2010 BMW X5 is equipped 4.4-liter dohc 32-valve V8 engine capable of delivering 315 horsepower at 5400 RPM. Our improved 2010 BMW X5 info is available here for your use and comparison. The 2010 BMW X5 V8 has a state-of-the-art engine cooling system that changes to answer the engine's requirements.

Summary
The powerful alternator, for example, is water-cooled. Variable intake valve timing (VANOS) and Digital Motor Electronics (DME) work nonstop to ensure the engine is running at maximum efficiency. The BMW X5 specs shows impressive torque and performance profiles, while still meeting the most stringent tests for emissions. All 2010 BMW X5 pictures are clear indicators of world class quality and pure driving excitement.

2010 BMW M3 Review
The 2010 BMW M3 is available as a sedan, coupe or retractable-hardtop convertible. Based on the compact 3 Series, the high-performance M3 comes in a single trim level. Standard features include 18-inch alloy wheels with performance tires, xenon headlamps, cruise control, keyless ignition and entry, automatic climate control, leather upholstery, power- adjustable sport seats with driver memory, split-folding rear seats and a 10-speaker audio system with a CD player, HD radio and an auxiliary audio jack. The coupe features a carbon-fiber roof, the convertible has a power-retractable hardtop, and all M3s receive (relative to the regular 3 Series) revised exterior styling, an exclusive sport-tuned suspension, more powerful brakes and a limited-slip rear differential.

Walkaround
The optional Premium package adds power-folding mirrors, BMW Assist and enhanced interior trim. The Technology package tacks on M Drive, a voice- activated navigation system, iDrive, keyless ignition and entry and electronically controlled dampers. la carte options include 19-inch alloy wheels, automatic high-beam operation, a sunroof (sedan and coupe only), heated front seats, extended leather upholstery, rear park assist and a number of audio options, including an upgraded sound system, satellite radio and an iPod adapter. A 4.0-liter V8 powers the 2010 BMW M3, sending 414 hp and 295 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. A six-speed manual transmission is standard, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automated- manual gearbox is optional. The latter offers manual operation via steering- wheel-mounted paddles as well as a full automatic mode. All M3s feature a specialized locking rear differential to manage the transfer of all that thrust to the pavement.

Summary
The 2010 BMW M3 is the heaviest M3 yet, but it's also the most capable. The 4.0-liter V8 is one of the most exhilarating engines in any car, and most drivers will run out of gumption far before the M3 runs out of grip. The electronic damper control (EDC) option provides three driver- selectable suspension settings (Comfort, Normal, Sport), but even in Normal, the M3 does an adequate job of soaking up bumps while providing world-class body control on back roads. Frankly, those who get the M3 without EDC will never miss it.

2010 BMW 7-Series Review
The BMW 7-series is the pinnacle of BMW sedans. A big luxury sedan that is loaded with state-of-the-art technology to keep you safe on today's roads.

Walkaround
The 750i and long-wheelbase 750Li are powered by a direct-injection, 400-hp 4.4-liter, twin-turbo V-8 bolted to a six-speed automatic transmission with manual shift control. The 750 has many standard luxury features such as four-zone automatic climate control, power sunroof, high-gloss wood trim, heated 16-way multi-contour seats, voice-activated navigation system on a 10.2-inch color monitor, HD radio and BMW Assist emergency and information communications. Standard run-flat tires wrap 18-inch alloy wheels, while standard Park Distance Control, adaptive brake lights and steerable adaptive bi-xenon headlights provide active safety. High-tech options include rear and side-view cameras, power trunk lid, high-beam assistant, lane departure warning, blind spot detection, dual LCD screens for rear seat entertainment and ventilated front seats.

Summary
For 2010, BMW's xDrive all-wheel drive system is now available on both the 750i and 750Li..

2010 BMW 1-Series Review
The 2010 BMW 1 Series is available as a compact coupe and a soft-top convertible. Both come in 128i and 135i trim levels. The interior is generally competitive with its rivals in terms of materials quality, but hard plastics are more prevalent here than in the 3 Series, leaving no doubt about the 1 Series' entry-level status. However, most controls are straight out of the standard BMW playbook and easy to use. The base seats are remarkably lacking in support given this car's performance potential; we strongly recommend anteing up for the Sport package and its superb manually adjustable sport seats. The convertible's optional sun-reflective leather seating adds a welcome touch of luxury.

Trim Levels and Options
Standard equipment on the 128i includes 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic headlights, cruise control, rain-sensing wipers, leatherette premium vinyl upholstery, a tilt-and-telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel and a 10-speaker stereo with a CD player, HD radio and an auxiliary audio jack. All convertibles also come with a power-operated soft top and an upgraded climate control system. The 135i trim level comes with a more powerful engine, a sport-tuned suspension, 18-inch wheels and all the standard equipment of the 128i plus a sunroof, xenon headlights and automatic climate control. Options on the 128i include a sunroof and a Sport package that features different 17-inch wheels, performance tires, the 135i's sport suspension and sport seats. The 135i Sport package includes the sport seats and an M Sport steering wheel. The Premium package adds auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors, upgraded interior trim, mood lighting, BMW Assist, Bluetooth, leather upholstery, power front seats with driver memory and, on the 128i, a sunroof. Popular stand-alone options include active steering, keyless ignition/entry, a hard-drive-based navigation system with the iDrive controller, rear parking assist, an iPod interface, satellite radio and a premium audio system. Heated front seats are also available by themselves or via the Cold Weather package. The 1 Series convertible's options list also includes a Moonlight Black soft top with shiny metallic fibers that produce a metallic silver appearance in sun- and moonlight. The convertible's optional leather upholstery also features BMW's exclusive sun-reflective treatment, which the company claims can lower the seat surface temperature by up to 20 degrees.

Summary
It'll take a real purpose-built sporting machine to outrun the 2010 BMW 1 Series on a winding road. Though some hard-core drivers might find that the car's handling isn't as rewarding as other BMWs when driven at the limit, the vast majority of owners will find that the precise and responsive steering, excellent body control and great outward visibility make the 1 Series a treat on curvy roads. The ride isn't as refined as in a 3 Series, either, but it's quite good relative to the 1 Series' rivals. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better combination of athleticism and compliance in this segment.

2010 BMW Z4 Review
The new 2010 BMW Z4 Series will amaze you with its sophisticated features. The car comes standard with impressive technology and the stuff that dreams are made of: an engine that is nothing less than a work of art, encased in a brilliantly-designed aluminum Spaceframe.

Walkaround
The car is a two-seater sports car in the tradition of the legendary BMW cars of the twentieth century, a classic based on the essential principles of car design, made with the best engineering on earth and the finest technology available. As such, we have carefully prepared our 2010 BMW Z4 Series review for you so you can experience a car that is the very embodiment of a passionate love for mobility. We also understand that people buying a new car will be looking for where to get the best 2010 BMW Z4 price, so we have put together information on that as well.

Summary
One look and you know it: the 2010 BMW Z4 is a car that you will never forget. From the long, sweeping lines and the bold curve of the wheel shoulders to the subtle tilt of rear end, with its visor-like tail lights and dual exhaust pipes of polished steel, any 2010 Z4 review will communicate a statement of manufacturing perfection and timeless design. The body form is pure roadster: Long nose, close to the road, an elegantly purist cockpit. But there are hints of a classic racing car, as well: the simple Engine Start button beside the three-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, for starters, and more. The design of the 2010 BMW Z4 Series is a tribute to the essence of the sports car.

2010 BMW X3 Review
The BMW X3 is a compact luxury SUV available in a single trim level known as xDrive30i. It is powered by a 3.0-liter inline-6 that produces 260 horsepower. Connecting this power to the ground is either a six-speed manual or a six-speed automatic transmission.

Walkaround
The X3 fulfills the brand's reputation for modern luxury with a long list of conveniences, exquisite comfort, premium interior materials and near-flawless build quality. Add to that the X3's generous seating space (even for taller adults) and spacious cargo area, and you have an accomplished crossover SUV that's well-suited for the chores of daily life as well as twisty roads. Drivers, especially, will appreciate its purposeful, 3 Series-derived cockpit featuring large analog gauges and high-quality switchgear. Among small luxury crossover SUVs, the X3 has no equal when it comes to arcing along a curvy road, thanks to the superior steering feel, ideal suspension tuning and eager engine power output. However, if what you're looking for is a family vehicle to haul the clan cross-country in maximum comfort, the X3's sometimes stiff ride quality is a detriment.

Summary
If you're shopping for a premium, performance-oriented compact SUV -- and don't mind the stiff ride and even stiffer price of entry -- we recommend that you put the BMW X3 at the top of your short list of choices.

2010 BMW 5-Series Review
The 2010 BMW 5 Series is looking at the tail end of its career. With a completely redesigned model just a year away, the latest 5 is facing its final curtain, but does so while still remaining a top choice for a premium midsize luxury sedan. Indeed, while newer competitors have surpassed this segment's elder statesman in certain areas, the 5 remains one of the finest vehicles in the world to travel each and every highway. Regrets? The 5 has a few, but the most worthy to mention is iDrive, which has been harped on endlessly since its introduction in the early 2000s. For 2010, all 5 Series thankfully get the latest iDrive knob and accompanying menu buttons, but without navigation, the same old convoluted menu structure remains. We suggest opting for the navigation system, which includes the higher- resolution screen and improved iDrive menus found in the all-new 7 Series. Other than those updates, the 2010 5 Series continues to consist of the 528i, 535i and 550i sedans and 535i xDrive wagon. Of all these, the 535i would certainly be our pick. Its twin-turbocharged inline -6 endows it with an ideal blend of seamless power and respectable fuel efficiency. This torque-rich engine pulls hard from low in its rev range and effortlessly gets this BMW up to speed. In fact, the 535i is only a few tenths slower to 60 mph than the V8-powered 550i, while returning only 1 mpg less combined than the 528i. The strong engines, along with an ideal ride/handling balance, spacious interior and impressive build quality are still the 5 Series' core strengths. Yet it is certainly pricey, and its advanced age has put it behind the electronic times in a few areas. Also, its standard steering may be too stiff for some drivers. As such, the fully redesigned Mercedes E-Class, the sleek- looking Jaguar XF and even the very impressive Hyundai Genesis are worth close looks. But the 5 Series has faced them all and stood tall, continuing to be a favorite among our editors and shoppers alike. So although the end is near, the 2010 BMW 5 Series still does things its way.

Walkaround
The 2010 BMW 5 Series is available in sedan and wagon body styles. Three engines are available on the sedan that correspond to the three trim levels (528i, 535i and 550i), with xDrive all-wheel drive available on the 528i and 535i sedans. The wagon comes in 535i xDrive trim only. The 528i comes standard with 17-inch wheels, a sunroof, automatic headlights and wipers, power front seats with driver memory and power headrests, a power tilt- telescoping steering column, leatherette vinyl upholstery, automatic climate control, the iDrive electronics interface and a 10-speaker stereo with a CD player and an auxiliary audio jack. The 535i adds adaptive xenon headlights and lumbar support, while the 535i xDrive wagon adds a panoramic sunroof, fold-down rear seats and a power tailgate. The 550i adds parking assist, leather upholstery and an auto-dimming rearview mirror.

Overview
The 2010 BMW 5 Series is just at home on a winding back road as it is on a leisurely cross-country road trip. Opting for either of the sport packages allows the 5 to tackle tight corners as skillfully as some dedicated sports cars. When driven aggressively, the steering has perfect weighting and a near-telepathic feel, but around town and in parking lots, it feels overly heavy. For this reason, we think casual drivers mostly interested in the 5 Series' looks, luxury and curb appeal should opt for the active steering system. Likewise, those drivers might find the ride quality to be a little stiff at times when equipped with the Sport package, but overall this BMW is a fine all-purpose luxury sport sedan.
