2013 BMW 5-Series
The 2013 BMW 5-series has taken some knocks for its diminished steering feel, but the chassis deftly combines a plush ride and superior handling.

New For 2013

The big news is the return of the M5. It rolled into dealerships this past summer with a turbo V-8 in place of the previous V-10. Despite losing two cylinders, the M5 makes more power: 560 hp. Buyers choose a manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. Also new is the ActiveHybrid 5. Unfortunately, its six-cylinder hybrid powertrain has no real fuel economy advantage over the (much cheaper) 528i.

2013 BMW X3
The 2013 BMW X3 is now larger and looks more like an X5 inside and out. For 2013, the base 28i model traded its normally aspirated 240-hp six for an equally potent, but more economical, 2.0-liter turbo four.

New For 2013

Originally launched in 2004, the X3 underwent its first major redesign two years ago. The X3 is now larger and looks more like an X5 inside and out. For 2013, the base 28i model traded its normally aspirated 240-hp six for an equally potent, but more economical, 2.0-liter turbo four; the 35i retains its 300-hp turbo six. Both models use an eight-speed automatic transmission.

New For 2013

The latest 6-series debuted for 2012, and this year BMW fills out the lineup. The four-door Gran Coupe is now here, in six-cylinder (640i) and V-8 (650i) form. All three body styles can be had with all-wheel drive. In addition to the M Sport package, there is now an honest-to-goodness M6 coupe and convertible (but—not yet—an M6 Gran Coupe). The M6 borrows its powertrain from the M5.
