BMW has maintained its impressive track record by receiving numerous awards from publications such as Professional Driver Magazine, Pocket-lint, What Car?, Parkers, and Fleet News.
The BMW 3 Series has claimed victory in not one, but three category wins at the What Car? Used Car Awards, including the coveted Used Car of the Year accolade, as well as Used Executive Car of the Year and Used Hybrid Car of the Year for the 330e.
Judges praised “the variety of options available to used 3 Series buyers, from swish petrols and frugal diesels to the tempting plug-in hybrid 330e.”
An additional win for the 3 Series saw the impressive vehicle as the “Most Reliable” Company Car for the second year running at Fleet News Top 50 Awards. With multiple options to choose from, including petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrid, the executive model continues to captivate and excite both the fleet world and end users throughout the UK.
“The ideal gateway EV to draw people away from their combustion cars.”
The BMW i4 came out on top at the twentieth edition of the Pocket-Lint Awards, adding a seventh feather to its cap for 2023 winning the Best Car category at the awards evening on the 9th November, 2023.
The first all-electric midsize luxury model developed by BMW and launched in November 2021, the i4 “pulls off that particular trick of feeling like a BMW to drive, while showcasing the latest in electric power. There's quality and refinement at every turn, evidence of that premium BMW heritage, fused with the greatest soundtrack you'll find in an EV - composed by Hans Zimmer - and sleek looks that turn heads.”
The Professional Driver Awards are among the most rigorous in the automotive industry. There are five categories in total, and a one-day judging event was held in August with an invited audience of Professional Driver readers.
The all-new BMW 7 Series and i7 both impressed the readers of Professional Driver in 2023, with the BMW 760e narrowly beating the i7 in the judges’ voting for the Chauffeur Car of the Year category.
“The plug-in BMW 760e took the honours as our Chauffeur Car of the Year, but the margin was incredibly close.”

As well as taking home the Chauffeur Car of the Year in possibly the most exclusive awards in the industry, the 7 Series continues to impress with Parkers.co.uk awarding the i7 with the “Best Luxury Car for 2024”. A celebration of cars that set the industry standard, the Parkers New Car Awards seeks to recommend the best vehicles for the UK’s car-buying public.
