BMW: Brand Value and Models That Move

Despite not being introduced until 1999, BMW’s first SUV has become one of its most popular vehicles. Now in its fourth generation, the X5 continues to be a safe and desirable pick for anyone looking for a German SUV. There is much variety in powertrains; a turbocharged inline-six making 335 hp, a monstrous twin-turbo V8 making 523 hp, as well as a plug-in hybrid that offers excellent fuel economy and 30 miles of electric range. With plenty of advanced tech and interior space, the BMW X5 is an excellent vehicle for any occasion.

The model that helped propel BMW to its current dominance, the 5 Series sedan, has been the brand's backbone for 50 years. Now in its seventh generation, the 5 Series is still a great pick at BMW auctions. With an engine lineup that ranges from a turbocharged four-cylinder making 248 hp to a twin-turbo V8 producing 617 hp, there is plenty of variety in the model line. A great looker with proper performance, the 5 Series is a winner on many fronts.

As BMWs entry into the lucrative crossover market, the BMW X3 was destined to be a successful vehicle. Introduced in 2003, the BMW X3 has quickly risen through the ranks over its three generations, becoming one of BMWs top models. Combining BMW’s proven driving dynamics and engine choice with a more capable body size makes the X3 the perfect one-size-fits-all vehicle.

The model that many compact sedans measure up against, the 3 Series has been a wonderful choice throughout each one of its seven generations, dating back to 1975. The current 3 Series remains a solid BMW auction pick. Two engine options are available, a 2.0L four-cylinder creating 255 hp and a very impressive turbocharged 3.0L six-cylinder making 382 hp. Combined with the clean aesthetics and top-notch technology that BMW is known for, the 3 Series is a no-brainer for many.
