Bmw M7 Horsepower
Welcome to Brand Breakdown, a series of comprehensive yet easy-to-digest guides to your favorite companies, with insights and information you won't find on the average About page.
Bavarian automaker BMW, once upon a time, claimed to produce the "ultimate driving machine." Though its fidelity to that mission may have strayed some in recent years, the brand generally distinguishes itself from its German rivals by being sporty and driver-centric; the classic BMW archetype is a powerful rear-wheel-drive sedan with a manual transmission and great handling.
However, BMW has adjusted to the modern car market like any other company. Stick shifts have been all but phased out from the lineup, and much of the track-tuning goes to four-door crossovers. Still, the cars remain instantly recognizable for their dual kidney grilles — though some have ballooned to cartoonish proportions.
BMW History
BMW stands for Bavarian Motor Works (Bayerische Motoren Werke in German). The company, formally BMW AG, was founded in Munich in 1916. BMW began as a WWI airplane engine manufacturer. Its first car did not appear until 1928. Only after WWII did building cars become the primary enterprise. Cars like the 2002 and its successor, the 3 Series, laid the foundation for BMW to become a luxury and performance powerhouse from the 1980s onward.
How BMW Names its Cars
BMW, like Mercedes-Benz and Audi, uses an alphanumeric naming system. BMW models comes in numbered series ranging from 1 to 8. Larger odd-numbered series mean a bigger car. Even-numbered series tend to be body style variants of the previous series. (Note that series names are not hyphenated like Mercedes-Benz classes: 3 Series versus E-Class.) X models are SUVs. Z models are roadsters. Models starting with a lowercase i are electric or hybrid models; models can also have the suffixes sDrive (two-wheel-drive) or xDrive (all-wheel-drive) — although not all RWD Bimmers are marked with an sDrive badge.
The second set of numbers in a model name indicate how big the engine is. They used to track engine displacement. Now, a bigger number just means a bigger engine. The final letter (e.g. 230i) indicates what type of engine the car has. Most cars end in i, for gasoline fuel injection. There are also "e" electrified hybrids and, in other markets, "d" diesel cars.
There are "M Cars" (like the M5) that are designed by BMW's M performance division. These are distinct from cars like the M550i xDrive which typically have more power and sportier tuning and styling than the standard models. An additional tuner, Alpina, produces high-performance BMWs built and sold by BMW. These contain the letter B (i.e. XB7).
Put it all together, and if you speak BMW, "X6 xDrive50i" concisely tells you exactly what the car is...although telling someone you just bought that can be a mouthful.
BMW Terminology
Bimmer: A colloquial nickname for BMW cars, as opposed to "Beemer" for motorcycles.
Gran Coupe: A four-door coupe with a sleek, sloping roofline.
Gran Turismo: A four-door sedan with a higher roofline in the rear for more trunk space. Some might term this a "hatchback."
Hofmeister Kink: Signature BMW design element where the rear passenger windows curve forward at their lower rear corner.
Sport Activity Vehicle: What BMW calls SUVs.
The BMW Buying Guide
2 Series
daniel kraus
BMW opted for mass confusion with the 2 Series. It is actually two distinct cars: the 2 Series Coupe and the 2 Series Gran Coupe. The 2 Series Coupe has two doors, comes in RWD or AWD and is all-new for 2022, losing both its previous convertible option and manual transmission. The 2 Series Gran Coupe, using a different platform, debuted in 2019. It's a four-door sedan and comes in FWD or AWD. Top of the line for now is the outgoing M2 Competition Coupe with 405 hp from its 3.0-liter inline-six.

3 Series
BMW
The 3 Series is BMW's compact sedan. It has been a standout for decades since its 1976 debut, and is is BMW's best-selling vehicle of all-time. The new seventh-generation launched for the 2019 model year; BMW dropped the wagon and gran turismo body styles in the U.S. market, as well as the manual transmission. It comes in 255-hp four-cylinder, 288-hp plug-in-hybrid and 382-hp six-cylinder versions. The new M3 arrived this year, as well, packing a 473- or 503-hp turbocharged inline-six.

4 Series
BMW
BMW created the 4 Series in 2014, breaking off 3 Series body style variants into their own series. The 4 Series an come as a coupe, convertible or (new for 2022) a four-door gran coupe model. Power outputs range from a 248-hp four-cylinder to a 503-hp inline-six in the M4. The M4 can be fitted with a six-speed manual transmission, but only in base model forms; all others use an eight-speed automatic. In a recent test, we found the M440i coupe technologically packed, but a disappointing drive.
