If you think smaller and lighter cars tend to be the most fun, we think you'll like the 2009 BMW 1 Series. MINI Cooper fans looking to move up to a slightly larger, more serious car will also feel at home in the 1 Series.

Those looking to maximize their buying dollars may not be attracted to the 1 Series. For just a little more money, buyers can step up to the roomier and arguably more desirable 3 Series. Plus, the 1 Series has seating for only four passengers, so if you need room for five, look elsewhere." more

If you think smaller and lighter cars tend to be the most fun, we think you'll like the 2009 BMW 1 Series Convertible. It features a quiet, well insulated top and excellent top-down air-flow management, freeing it from the vices that commonly plague convertibles.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
You may not like the BMW 1 Series Convertible if you want both front and rear passengers to be equally comfortable, as the rear seats border on claustrophobic." more

If you've been a long-time admirer of the 3 Series Coupe but have wished for a bit more refinement, the 2009 BMW 3 Series Coupe won't disappoint. Add the performance benefits of a twin-turbocharged six, all-wheel drive and loads of new functional technology and you've got a formula that takes it one step closer to BMW's "ultimate" descriptor.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
The combination of a weakening economy and an increase in standard equipment has resulted in a significant price bump for the current 3 Series Coupe. With the 335i basing at just over $43,000, and even the 328i with its 230-horsepower naturally-aspirated in-line six-cylinder commanding in excess of $37,000, those on a restricted car-buying budget may want to look to the 1 Series instead." more

If you're a genuine driving enthusiast who still believes that there's just something special about German automotive engineering, virtually any selection from the 328i and 328xi menu could be just what you're looking for. Even at its entry level, the 3 Series package provides an engaging mix of character, quality and performance.

If you prefer a suspension tuned more towards ride comfort than control, want a rear seat with lots of legroom or need a spacious trunk, the 3 Series may be less attractive than some of its European or Japanese competitors – although the Sports Wagon does offer impressive cargo room even with the rear seat up." more

The BMW 5 Series earned its deserved reputation as the supreme midsize sport sedan almost on driving dynamics alone. Combined with standout styling, a well-appointed cabin and some of the most sophisticated technologies available in an automobile, the 5 Series offers something for everyone.

If you aren't overly swayed by the BMW badge, the bold styling or the renowned driving feel, you might find it harder to live with the driver's awkward cupholder, the improving (but still complex) iDrive central control system or the significant price premium when compared to competitors like the Infiniti M." more

If the exhilarating rush of a big V8-powered coupe or convertible that handles with the confidence of a world-class GT car sets your sporting senses tingling, you'll love the 2009 BMW 650i. A choice of manual or automatic transmissions, exceptional interior amenities and desirable options should please even the most demanding enthusiast.
YOU MAY NOT LIKE THIS CAR IF...
Those who find fault with the styling of the 650i's rear quarters, or who are put off by the complexity of its iDrive system – that integrates control of the audio, ventilation, navigation and communication functions – might want to consider a Jaguar XK or Porsche 911 Carrera S. If you're looking for a more usable back seat, the Mercedes-Benz CLK550 would be a better choice." more
