That means that the BMW 7 Series (which delivers one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealerfireblog.com\/certifiedautoplex\/bmw-7-series-recognized-2016-wards-10-best-ux-list\/\">best user experiences on the road<\/a>) is a full-size sedan, while the BMW 3 Series is a compact model. In recent years, even numbers will also indicate a coupe or convertible, but that may not be true if you are shopping in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.certifiedautoplex.com\/used-bmw-dallas-tx\">used BMW<\/a> inventory. Break down the differences below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034344\/2017_BMW_2Series_B02_o.jpg\" alt=\"2017 BMW 2 Series front quarter view\" class=\"wp-image-3439\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034344\/2017_BMW_2Series_B02_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034344\/2017_BMW_2Series_B02_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"768\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034341\/2017_BMW_3Series_B02_o.jpg\" alt=\"2017 BMW 3 Series front quarter view\" class=\"wp-image-3438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034341\/2017_BMW_3Series_B02_o.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-ds.com\/blogs-media\/sites\/133\/2017\/01\/17034341\/2017_BMW_3Series_B02_o-300x195.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>BMW 3 Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-rounded and elegant, the BMW 3 Series is an attractive compact luxury sedan with a sporty attitude. Whether you are looking for a comfortable and reliable luxury commuting vehicle, or want a little zip and fun in your life, the 3 Series delivers. Current models are sedan only, but in the past this model has also been available as a wagon, coupe and convertible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>BMW 4 Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in the 2014 model year, the BMW 4 Series was divided from the BMW 3 Series. Like its sister-vehicle, the BMW 4 Series is a compact sport luxury vehicle. Unlike the 3 Series, the 4 Series comes only in two-door coupe or convertible body styles. In either model, the 4 Series delivers top comfort, engaging handling, and premium features ideal for any driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>BMW 5 Series<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The BMW 5 Series is somewhat larger than the 3 Series and 4 Series. It is a midsize luxury sedan that uses either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive to deliver premium handling. Some wagon models are available when you are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.certifiedautoplex.com\/clp-used-bmw-models-carrollton-tx\">shopping for a pre-owned BMW<\/a>, but generally speaking this model will be a sedan. Several engine options are available for different needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to luxury, BMW models are at the head of the pack.
