For those looking to buy a BMW M6 coupe, it appears that second-hand may well be the way to go.
The new 6-series has been a popular car since its launch with striking looks and impressive performance, much like its 1980s counterpart which was a popular car in its time and continues to be well regarded amongst BMW enthusiasts.
The pinnacle of the BMW range is the M6 edition, which when new retails for around £82,600. However for the second-hand buyer, a used BMW M6 represents an excellent buy, with the car depreciating sharply in the first year.
After one year, a

In only its first year of production, the BMW 1-Series convertible model appears to be a sensible choice for new buyers, with an excellent blend of power, style and residual values.
The 1-series has been likened to the original BMW E30 3-series convertible, being of a similar size and retaining the canvas roof unlike most rivals that feature the bulky folding hard-top feature. It also seems that the new BMW 1-Series convertible will retain the same popularity as the E30 – a car that still appeals to used car buyers nearly 20 years after ending production.
One of the flagship 1-Series

BMW have released a new options package for the popular 6-series coupe and cabriolet models. The new BMW Edition Sport package includes a number of features designed to boost the car’s visual appeal and sporting prowess.
Key features of the Edition Sport compared to standard 6-series models include stiffer suspension to aid the car’s performance, along with a more contoured bonnet to improve the efficiency and performance of the car.
Externally, the car also features new 19inch alloy wheels that not only look sporty, but help improve the handling of the car even further. In addition, a range of new bodywork

One of the most iconic and collectable BMW cars of the 1970s and 1980s is that of the original BMW 6-series coupe. Launched in 1976, the BMW E24 enjoyed a long production run until 1989, with 86,000 cars being built. As an expensive, luxury coupe, the car became one of the symbols of the 1980s ‘yuppie’ culture. That, coupled with the car’s striking looks (featuring the attractive ‘Sharknose’ design of BMWs of the period) still ensure the car remains desirable today.
The car may not have been so attractive had BMW forced through plans to make the car stand several

BMW have launched a new model in its 1 series line up which promises to be the most fuel efficient car available in their entire product range.
The new BMW 116d goes on sale in March and with fuel efficiency (and its associated road tax benefits) playing such an important part in a car buyer’s criteria, it is expected to be a popular seller.
The car is powered by a 1.6 litre, four-cylinder diesel engine, producing 116bhp. It also develops a good level of torque, with a figure of 260Nm; the car has a 0 to 60 time of 10.2 seconds,

Since its introduction in 1977, the BMW 7-series has been the company’s flagship car, with the new BMW 7-series being no exception, with an impressive specification list pushing the boundaries of automotive technology.
The original version of the car was the E23 model, launched in 1977 replacing the BMW E3 ‘New Six’ model as the company’s flagship luxury saloon. With the exception of the high performance 745i model, all E23 models were fitted with 12 valve six cylinder engines, ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 litres. As became the trademark with the 7 series, the cars were stylish yet boasted huge

The new BMW 1 series is scheduled for a 2011 launch, with an array of engines currently being tested for the new car. The current model has been a huge hit since its launch in 2004, with hatchback, coupe and cabriolet versions of the car all being popular sellers.
The most crucial aspect of the new car is that it will retain its rear wheel drive layout, keeping it in line with the rest of the BMW range. Rumours had circulated that the new 1 series would share a front wheel drive layout with the Mini, in a bid to

BMW are rumoured to be continuing the development of its four door luxury saloon concept car, the CS.
Towards the end of 2008, it was announced that the new BMW would not be entering production due to financial constraints. However recent spy shots from the motoring press have shown the CS in private testing at BMW’s Munich headquarters.
Such a move would seem realistic from BMW, given that many of its prestige car rivals have already released similar models. The Mercedes CLS has proved to be a popular car in the category, stealing the thunder from the long standing Maserati Quattroporte.

BMW ‘s convertible version of its 1-series model was one of the most exciting cars to be released by BMW during 2009. The 1-series has proved to be a real hit with car buyers since its launch in 2004. The original 1-series was available purely in hatchback form, but more recently a coupe version of the car was launched, with strong rumours suggesting that a sporty M-series version of the car will soon go into production.
The launch of the cabriolet version of the 1-series sees the range expand even further. The new BMW is available in both petrol and

The BMW M3 saloon car has one of the best depreciation figures in its class. With several rival manufacturers making similar vehicles, the new BMW M3 saloon is available at a price of around £49,900.
In the first year, where cars typically see the sharpest level of depreciation, the value of the car falls to just over half of the car’s showroom value, an impressive figure of around £27,000. From the cars first to fourth year, the depreciation figure is estimated to be around £10,000 over the whole period, with a four year old M3 saloon estimated to be worth
