The three most popular BMW models

BMW is one of the foremost car manufacturers, with consistently high sales figures and a huge following from car enthusiasts old and young. It is a brand with a reputation for excellence in performance, quality and refinement. It is no wonder that hundreds of thousands of new BMWs are driven off forecourts across Europe each year.

Figures from 2006 reveal that the 3 Series is the favourite model with the public by an overwhelming margin, accounting for 42% of BMWs sold. It is followed in the popularity stakes by the 5 Series, which was the chosen model for 20% of new BMW buyers. The smaller 1 Series proved to be third-most popular, with 13% of BMW's customers opting for this model.

duck2water Car Insurance Services will take a look at these three models and discover why they are hitting the spot with motoring consumers.

3 Series
5 Series
1 Series

BMW 3 Series
The BMW 3 Series is available in a number of styles, including the coupe, convertible, touring and saloon. All are popular with the driving public, but we shall take a closer look at the 3 Series Coupe. It is one of the smaller BMWs and makes the perfect choice for a family car, as long as you don't have more than two little people to fit in the back.

Its running costs are fairly family-friendly too, with reasonable fuel efficiency and not-so-expensive BMW car insurance. The 3 Series is a car in demand on the used market too, so it is likely to hold onto its value too when the time comes to part ways with it. That probably won't be for a while though, considering how everyone raves about its responsive handling and the fact it has bags of power.

BMW 5 Series
Just like the 3 Series, the BMW 5 Series comes in a range of styles. Perhaps the most popular is the saloon, which is perfect as a car for the successful exec or as a luxury choice for the family. It eats up motorway miles smoothly and quietly and sticks like glue to twisty country lanes, keeping you in supreme comfort all of the while.

It boasts low CO2 emissions, making it popular with the environmentally conscious and businesses alike, and its residual values are excellent. Although this BMW's car insurance group is in the upper half of the table, you could be paying a lot more for something with a similar level of power.

BMW 1 Series
The BMW 1 Series is a stylish little hatchback which is perfect for city dwellers and country livers alike. Its nippy performance and modest dimensions makes it perfect for zipping around town whilst its balanced feel and super grip make tackling the rural lanes a lot of fun. However, it falls down a little on the motorway driving, where the ride is a little on the firm side.

The noise of the engine in the BMW 1 Series is well hushed, as is the wind and road noise, allowing you to make your journey in the peace and quiet which you would expect from travelling in a BMW. Whilst it is more expensive to buy than most other hatchbacks out there, you can enjoy good fuel efficiency and low BMW car insurance costs.
