BMW 440i, CLE 300, or Mini?

Founded in March 1916 by Karl Rapp and Gustav Otto, BMW (Bayerische Motoren Werke) is one of the most prominent German automakers in the world. The luxury auto brand established its first Indian production facility in Chengalpet, Tamil Nadu, in 2007.

Hi, I’m looking to buy a convertible and am currently evaluating the BMW 440i, Mercedes-Benz CLE 300 and Mini Cooper Convertible. Which of these would you recommend, and why? I’d appreciate your suggestions and insights to help me make the right choice.
BMW has revealed the Concept 7 Protection, an armoured luxury sedan with a plug-in hybrid powertrain producing 612hp. Would you even notice it was armoured if you saw it on the road?
Hi Autocar team, should I buy the current-generation BMW iX1 or wait for the next-generation model, expected to launch in 2028? The current version could be replaced within a year, and I expect the new platform and battery technology to be better. What would you advise?
Hi, I am Akshay and I currently drive a 2019 Fiat Punto Abarth. I'm hooked on the thrill it offers while driving. I also really appreciate how it stands out from the crowd, with people turning around to take a look at the car. I'm not too concerned about the fuel economy. I have my eye on the Škoda Octavia RS if it becomes available. Which other cars can offer a similar driving experience for a similar or slightly lower budget? I have no preference among a hatchback, sedan, SUV, or crossover.
Hi, I recently test-drove the new Audi Q3 and was quite impressed. However, given Audi's relatively low market share right now, could resale value be a concern? Also, would the BMW 3 Series be a better buy? I certainly like the performance of the 3 Series, but its cabin feels much smaller. The Q3, on the other hand, feels newer. Any advice?

My father uses the BMW 7 Series, and it's really classy. After using this model, I believe it's the best in the segment. The luxury and comfort redefine your experience, and the opulent cabin is a delight.

It's a BMW, and there's nothing else to ask for. It meets all my needs and expectations, plus the automatic boot feature in the parking lot is a nice touch.

The BMW X7 is a three-row, voluminous, and rich SUV that offers a comfortable and opulent driving experience. A tasteful and high-quality interior completes its important design appearance. The X7 offers excellent suspension estimation, a clear-headed assist, and advanced driving modes.

This car is very comfortable and has excellent safety features. The performance is fantastic, and it handles well. The boot space is impressive, although the maintenance costs are a bit high, but it's manageable.

The BMW 3 Series remains one of the best choices in its class. It offers a near-perfect blend of sporty handling and daily driving comfort, backed by superb engines and a high-tech, premium cabin. For me, this is a masterpiece from BMW.

This car looks very cool and has good dynamics. However, the performance might not satisfy those looking for the BMW brand and luxury features; they might want to consider the sportier 2 series.
View all 2 Series Gran Coupe ReviewsEmerging in 1917, BMW's highly recognisable white and blue logo signifies the colours of the Bavarian state, where the brand has its origins. It has also been reinterpreted as a rotating propeller, since BMW used to produce aircraft engines during World War 1.
BMW is a founding member of the vast BMW Group. This group owns another luxury car brand, Mini, along with the ultra-luxury car brand, Rolls-Royce. The BMW Group also owns its own two-wheeler division under the BMW Motorrad nameplate. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz does not have any such equivalent two-wheeler brand, but it does operate its own ultra-luxury arm under the Mercedes-Maybach brand.
BMW cars have historically been for those who prioritise taut handling over outright comfort. Some of BMW's noteworthy models that have cemented their place among driving enthusiasts include cars from the brand's M division, such as the M3 and M5. Some of the reasons that made these sports sedans so good to drive was their rear-wheel drive (RWD) system, near-perfect 50:50 weight distribution, tactile steering and eager powertrains.
