Looming hundreds of feet up in Munich's skyline is BMW's headquarters, a vast and impressive building designed to look like four engine cylinders - the configuration that drove much of the brand's early success. BMW has come a long way since 1927, when it produced its first car, the Dixi, shortly to be renamed the BMW 3/15. In 2022, it was awarded 'Best Manufacturer' at the AutoCar Britain's Best Car Awards, and the same year, it triumphed at the WhatCar? Awards, winning more accolades than any other brand. The M5 special edition, celebrating 20 years of BMW motorsport, is one of the rarest M automobiles in the world. See how BMW's maintenance prices compare to Audi and Mercedes in this guide.

The 3 Series is a stylish mid-size family saloon famous for being BMW's most popular car. It is sold in almost every country worldwide and has earned numerous awards, including '2020's Most Loved Car' at the Auto Trader New Car Awards. With a top speed of 155 mph and some versions doing 0-60 mph in under five seconds, it's hardly surprising that fans often claim it's one of the most fun cars to drive.

A car diagnostic test allows a mechanic to discover problems with a car by using special software that identifies faults with the engine or other systems that you can't diagnose yourself. For example, if the check engine light appears on your dashboard, the mechanic will plug a small device into your car's computer, which will run an engine diagnostic and tell you what is causing the problem.Vehicle diagnostics can also highlight developing problems before they become serious, which may save money in the long term. However, if you have an existing problem and your car won't start, you can book a mobile car diagnostic where the mechanic comes to you. Some people wonder, "why are diagnostic tests so expensive?" but this isn't always the case. The cost depends on the car, and dealerships may charge more than independent garages. It's a good idea to look around for the best price.
