- BMW has one of the most sprawling and confusing model lineups in the entire car industry. They have no fewer than 16 core models for sale in the United States, and several of them have variants that branch off from the main tree. A host of engine types, trim packages, and powertrain configurations muddles things even further. The cherry on top is their naming scheme, which is a seemingly incoherent alphabet soup that can be a nightmare for even seasoned BMW enthusiasts. In this video, we’ll make sense of everything. First, we’ll go through all of their base sedans, coupes, crossovers, and SUVs. Then we’ll touch on their trim packages. Lastly, we’ll discuss how their naming scheme works.
The 2 Series is a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe priced at $35,300 that is also available as a convertible. It will likely be cross-shopped with performance coupes such as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro, Lexus RC, and Infiniti Q60.
The 2-Series also has a four-door version as well, but they aren’t as similar as you may think. The 2 series coupe is rear-wheel drive while the gran coupe makes use of a FWD-based AWD system. the car shares its platform with the X1 and X2. At a price of $37,500, the 2 series gran coupe squares up with the Audi A3 and as well as the Mercedes A-Class and CLA-Class.
The 2 Series line also has a line of MPVs. The 2 series active tourer and gran tourer aren’t sold in the US, but it’s still worth taking a look at. The Active Tourer is a 5 seat MPV and the Gran Tourer is its larger seven-seat version. The former runs 26,615 pounds and the latter runs 28,510 pounds
The 3 series is a mainstay of the compact executive segment, slotted in the same class with cars like the Audi A4, Lexus IS, Cadillac CT4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Infiniti Q50. It comes in at a price of $40,750. It differentiates itself from the 2 Series line in several ways. The 3 is a 4 door sedan while the 2 is a 2 door coupe. Comparing it to the 2 gran coupe, the 3-series is larger. It also has a kink in the headlight, a thicker C-pillar, and taillights with a clear portion.
You can think of the 4-series as the 2 door version of the 3 series. It's due for a replacement for the 2021 model year, but for now, let’s focus on the outgoing version. The design actually borrows heavily from the previous 3-Series. It competes with the Audi A5 and C-Class Coupe. The 4 series also had a convertible and a 4 door gran coupe. While we’re on this topic, I want to touch on something that has befuddled people since its introduction in 2013. You’ll recall that I said the 4 series was a 2 door version of the 3 series. The 4 series gran coupe is different from the 3 series, but it isn’t very easy to tell them apart at a glance. Both cars look indistinguishable from the front. Our observations will be focused on the profile view. The 4 has a more heavily raked windshield and a roofline that sweeps back onto the rear deck further. It also has a tighter, more aggressive kink at the c-pillar. The most telling sign is the intake behind the front wheel. If you see it, then it’s a 3 series. If you don’t, then it’s a 4.
The upcoming 4 series distinguishes itself from both the current 3 series and the previous 4 series with its massive front grille. You, uh, can’t miss it.
The 5 series is a midsize luxury sedan that does battle with the Lexus GS, Audi A6, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and Genesis G80. It starts at $53,900. It’s larger than the 3-series. Both cars have similar grilles, but the 5 is split down the middle while the 3’s is a single piece. The vent behind the front wheel on the 5 is at an obtuse angle while the 3’s is at an acute angle. The main body line on the 5 goes through the door handles while the one the 3 series sits right atop them. Lastly, the 5 has completely red taillights in the back.
The 5 series is getting a refresh for 2021. You can tell this one apart from the prior generation by the geometric DRL motif and new lower front clip designs. The base model’s spans the entire front of the car while the M/Sport version borrows from the M340i.
The 6-series range of coupes and convertibles that Americans might be familiar with have been killed off. There is another body style that carries the number, the Gran Turismo, but it isn’t available for sale in the US. It carries a price of 44,570 pounds or just under $55,000. It sets itself from the other cars in their range by the way the roofline stretches back to the raised decklid.
The 7-series is the largest sedan in BMWs range. It competes with the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, Audi A8, Lexus LS, and other full-size luxury saloons. It comes in at a starting price of $86,800. You can tell this one apart from the smaller 5 series in several ways. Up front, the large kidney grille extends well past the headlights. On the side, there’s a chrome-lined intake that wraps around to the rear of the car. The car has a thin light bar that links the units back here. - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

Damn only through 2 series and I'm already lost 😂😂
Honestly 😂
Hello man, thank you for the video. BMW’s lineup is a mess.
when i first started looking at their cars i was and still am so confused with what the letters and number means not even going to lie
@@RubyXIII basically 3-5 series is the best form of BMW anything above is getting away from what BMW is based on, luxury and sportiness
Until you see... the mercedes
@@theshea2380 Mercedes r just a shit lol
Not a mess, just german
I just got hired into a bmw dealership. This is the exact video i needed. Liked. Keep up the awesome content broskif. Cheers
lol me too. this shits confusing
@@nicksoto2506 Do yall make good money working at BMW dealership?
BMW stopped pretending that the numbers correspond to engine displacement long ago, they just designate power levels/hierarchy nowadays
Playback speed x0.75 turn on CC to understand better...
How do you not understand plain english?
@@Ken-no5ip 😹
@@Ken-no5ip his accent is so difficult to get bro ;-;
this naming convention earned me a college credit towards my engineering degree 😂
You explained this so well. Now I just need to figure out the difference between a 3 series, 330i, 330, 340, 335, 340i, 335i, is there a 345? Idk man it’s my first day out here.
You're asking questions even bmw doenst want to awnser lol
330 = series 3 3.0 litre
I =gas fuel (i)njected
d=diesel
@@hichemdouss1199 oh wow that actually helped a lot. Thanks😂
@@hichemdouss1199 not exactly because the 330e has a 2 litre
@@ishra8926 because its has a hp of a 3.0 liter engine even the 5.0 actually 4.4l but look at the hp
Overall it's actually very understandable*. Larger the series the more luxury/power you get. Odd number series are functional: 3/5/7 are sedans for everyday use, with 1/3/5 offering wagon hatches for more practicality. Paired numbers focus on sportiness: 2/4/6(old one)/8 are first and foremost two door coupes and bring the excitement and are more nimble* than the odd ones. complexity comes when the series get some kind of different body style like Gran Turismo/Coupe/Tourer which means that a coupe body style gets 4 doors and a non sedan boot (either hatch or smaller opening).
Excellent video and just what I was looking for. Thank you!
At the beginning i didnt understand But finally a didnt get it either.
Good video but the pronunciation in the voice over is terrible
I agree 🤣
Exactly, it’s not clear that much
you mean the articulation? i agree, english is not my first language so it makes it a little harder to understand sometimes..
@@Kayhrl exactly
Nice video man!
Dude awesome video thank you, please keep making videos. people saying they can’t understand you good just need to pay more attention.. people are hella ungrateful sometimes. please don’t let that shit bother you, you can make sooo many more videos about other brands just like this. good vibe, music, no bullshit just good structured info... Id you can do VW that would be sick!
Insane! Thanks for the clarifications!
I know you put a lot of effort on this videos, keep up with them, DONT GIVE UP. I know is hard after you see other people’s videos getting hundred of thousands of views, and putting a lot of effort on a video and getting a fraction of those numbers. Keep going brother
I agree! Dont give up you have a nice voice to listen to, good and informing content and a comfortble vibe!
Great explanation
Amazing video 💪
Thanks for watching!
Thank you I can satisfyingly identify these things on the street
good video!
Hey man thanks for the video. The microphone is a bit muddled and hard to hear though. Otherwise great content
The best freaking video ever
I want an i8 roadster so badly, it's such a beautiful car. I'm just hoping that the 2020 model gets rid of some of the issues people had with it's performance. Do you know if there's any substantial improvements or what the key changes are?
Coupe/coupè: even numbers
Sedans: odd number
SUV/SUV COUPÈ: X
Pretty simple to me, it’s just when get into trim levels that’s when it gets confusing.
How did you place adds before 1k subscribers??
great video, BMW's classes are such a mess compared to Audi
Audis don’t attract a younger audience anywhere near as much as BMW
Which series is the same size as an Honda Accord?
How did this happen.
BMW has sacrificed so much of their old charm and heritage in their quest to take market share from Benz. A sad sight indeed.
Thanks for the video. Just a tip, if you have a speech impediment, please slow down when you're talking. It is very tough to understand you a lot of the time.
Yes, I even had to turn on subs but it was misreading the words. It's a fantastic video otherwise.
Does the guy speaking have braces?
Either way, great explanation!
Good but you sound like you are eating and talking at the same time. Barely understood 50% of the words.
I got lost after the 2 series
What about "ci"
M5, M550i whats the difference?
Same car different engine trim
Mate you need to raise your mic volume you sound too low
Thnx but ur voice man IDK I was not feeling comfortable do u do it on purpose or something?
the audi a6 also competes against the 5 series
Who would in there right mind would buy an a6 over the 5 series 😂
@@irGuilty their* bmw snob
Great video. The one thing to improve is to please speak a bit slower and not jump over words :)
Yeah, I couldn't make it all the way through. What a mess!
BMW cars ending with 60 has two inline 6 motor in it
so they are the xiaomi of the car market
Good vid but u need to work or your pronunciation
It sounds like you are mumbling..
With the heavy accent, sometimes I didn't understand what he is saying
jesus this guy can't pronounce his Rs. Just slow down, we can't understand what you're saying. It's important if you're making an informative video...
Hey man bit of advice, fix your mic/recording system - its way to deep and monotonous like I can't make out anything you're saying.
Great review through the material itself, really helped clarify things for me. But honestly, some feedback for you to improve: your enunciation really needs work. Some of your words are being run together which makes it hard for the viewer to understand.
Their entire 2020 lineup is super ugly. Can’t believe they’ve fallen down this far even from just a couple years ago.
Nothin is better than BMW (in my mind)
This is not very accurate.
Omg...
That was not helpful at all.
Wish you'd enunciate better
