BMW Cars
3 models available.
BMW's Spartanburg plant in South Carolina is the company's largest anywhere in the world and builds the X-model SUVs for global export. In America the brand sells far more crossovers than sedans, though the 3 Series still anchors the identity.
CarQuill USA currently tracks 3 BMW models. Prices run from $45,950 for the 3 Series up to $66,200 for the X5. The line-up covers sedan and suv body styles. Fuel options across the range include petrol (mild hybrid), plug-in hybrid, electric, gasoline and gas. Every model here offers an automatic.
What to weigh up before you buy
The chassis engineering remains a genuine differentiator, and the inline-six engines are among the best made. Budget realistically for out-of-warranty repairs, which are expensive, and be wary of complex options on used cars, where the failure of a single module can cost thousands.
