4 Series F32-33-36
Beautiful lines, timeless design. The interior isn't flashy but looks classier than contemporary Mercedes models. Comfortable steering wheel, very adjustable driving position, allowing for a low stance. Sport seats are very comfortable, perfect for long 1000km+ trips. The rear bench is surprisingly spacious. Plenty of storage compartments. Ample trunk space. The steering isn't very direct, with a sense of vagueness at higher speeds in corners. Adaptive suspension makes a significant difference.
Pros:
Timeless and beautiful design, Stylish interior compared to rivals, Comfortable sport seats for long drives, Surprisingly spacious rear bench, Generous storage and trunk space, Adaptive suspension improves ride
Cons:
Steering lacks directness, Vague steering feel at higher speeds

BMW 4 Series F32-F33-F36 Review
I bought this car new from the dealership in 2016, custom-configured. My review is based on 85,000 km driven. The car is beautiful (M Sport package), dynamic, and has a sporty appearance. It drives well, but that's overshadowed by flaws/defects that require constant visits to the service center. Furthermore, the service (BMW SIKORA Mikołów in this case) incompetently replaces parts, only to eventually state that the car is...
Pros:
Beautiful M Sport styling, Dynamic performance, Sporty appearance, Pleasant handling
Cons:
Frequent defects and malfunctions, Constant service visits required, Incompetent dealership service

4 Series F32-33-36
Purchased used two years ago. A pleasant surprise. Very agile and, so far, practically trouble-free. I definitely don't plan on switching to another car. The 4 Series has a significantly wider wheelbase and lower stance. A great feature is the air vents on the front wheel arches directed backward, thus reducing air resistance. I read about the car's lightweight construction on Motocaina and, certainly tempted by this characteristic, I decided to buy this sporty devil - I wasn't disappointed.
Pros:
Very agile and responsive acceleration, Reliable and trouble-free so far, Wider wheelbase and lower stance, Aerodynamic air vents, Lightweight construction contributes to sporty feel

4 Series F32-33-36
I bought this car this year with low mileage (45k km) and in 6-7 months I've added another 30k km, mainly on multi-day, long trips of 3-5k km one way (Poland - Italy, Poland - Portugal), as well as in cities (Warsaw, Krakow, Silesian and Tricity agglomerations). Pros: The engine, suspension, and automatic transmission deserve a big plus – gear changes are very smooth; in Sport/Sport+ mode, it gives a pleasant kick. Manual shifting (though I rarely use it) provides a lot of fun.
Pros:
Powerful and engaging engine, Smooth automatic transmission, Enjoyable driving dynamics, Pleasant gear shifts, especially in sport modes

BMW 4 Series F32-F33-F36 Review
One of the best cars I've owned, and I wouldn't part with it, but without the star (Mercedes-Benz), there's no driving for me. I want to trade it for a GLC because it's easier to get in and out. It's a bit too low for me, and I'm already nearing 70, so getting in and out is an effort. Despite my age, I've never been a road hazard. Driving on our roads, I was happy to have some power under the hood. Apparently, it has around 250 hp; I've never tested it, but on the highway, everyone but trucks kept up with me.
Pros:
Excellent driving dynamics, Strong performance, Enjoyable to drive
Cons:
Getting in and out is difficult for older drivers, Could benefit from higher ground clearance

BMW 1 Series F20-F21: A Pocket Rocket for Twisty Roads
I bought this car reluctantly, trading my Audi A3 2.0 TDI for a BMW F20 118i 4-cylinder. Initially, the petrol engine felt sluggish, but what a surprise when I hit winding roads! This car is a mini-racer; every corner feels like an F1 drive. Simply wonderful. The highway is also a dream, and I've driven countless kilometers in this car. The first issue, a fuel pump failure, occurred only after 140,000 km. Otherwise, it's a successful car.
Pros:
Exceptional handling on winding roads, Fun driving experience, Reliable on the highway, Good fuel efficiency
Cons:
Initial impression of sluggishness, Fuel pump failure at high mileage

BMW 1 Series F20-F21 Review
A car that proudly wears the M badge. Perfectly balanced for a great experience, allowing for safe, dynamic driving and amplifying the fun when the rear slides out under acceleration in corners, even with xDrive. The xDrive system effectively manages power and torque, providing plenty of traction during acceleration, offering a strong sense of security. It's almost too secure, but since it's not a full M, I maintain that it's excellent and will only get better.
Pros:
Excellent balance for dynamic driving, Engaging handling, even with xDrive, Great traction and security, Proudly carries the M heritage
Cons:
Not a full M performance model

7 Series F01: A Masterclass in Comfort and Performance
An excellent car. The suspension works incredibly well, offering a perfect driving experience. Despite its large size, the car is surprisingly agile on the road. Power is never lacking. The gearbox in the 750d performs excellently. With this car, there's no need to prove anything on the road; the powerful engine speaks for itself. At 140 km/h on the highway, it's remarkably quiet inside (and even at 180 km/h). On wide tires, the car holds the road exceptionally well. The interior itself is very comfortable, but the craftsmanship is standard BMW, which could be a bit...
Pros:
Exceptional suspension performance, Impressive agility despite size, Abundant power, Superb gearbox in 750d, Remarkable quietness at high speeds, Excellent road holding on wide tires, Very comfortable interior
Cons:
Interior build quality could be slightly improved

BMW 7 Series G11-G12 Review
Excellent for relaxing drives. Not for adrenaline seekers. Trim and options are crucial for personalization. I preferred the short-wheelbase for easier parking, and RWD over AWD, having been saved by a Torsen but also let down by it during braking.
Pros:
Superb for relaxed driving., Customizable with options and trims., Short wheelbase enhances maneuverability.
Cons:
Not for performance or thrill seekers., AWD's reliance on traction can be a downside.

7 Series F01
Beautiful and comfortable, but that's where it ends. I'm writing this review because I managed to sell it and can now tell the truth. Thankfully, I'm rid of the problem. The car was bought for my collection. I purchased one of the most well-maintained examples in Germany with 90,000 km from the first owner who used it daily for his commute of about 16km to his company. I think this car is only suitable for such trips. When purchasing, despite a full service history at

Beautiful and comfortable

3 Series G20-G21 Review
A pleasant car overall, but it's clear it was designed entirely differently from previous 3 Series. It lacks driving precision and solidity, feeling a bit heavy. The overall impression is positive, but it has a few flaws unbecoming of a premium brand. For some reason, the turn signal sound comes from the glove compartment in front of the passenger, which is odd... Between 100-140 km/h, there's a slight grinding noise in the front left door, which is very irritating. Quality...
Pros:
Pleasant driving experience, Positive overall impression

Lacks driving precision and solidity, Feels heavy/ponderous, Unexpected turn signal noise from glove compartment, Irritating grinding noise in front left door at speed

BMW 3 Series F30-F31-F34 Review
The car looks great and is very comfortable. It's enjoyable to drive. Despite 116 HP, it performs really well. I also drove a 320d, and the engine runs almost identically, but the 316d is more fuel-efficient. I don't understand people who think 116 HP is too little; quite the opposite, the 2-liter engine with this power is very durable and lively, not overstressed, which means it will last for many years. Dynamic driving is not a problem, with 3 driving modes, so everyone will find something for themselves. Without
Pros:
Excellent presentation and comfort, Enjoyable driving experience, Good performance for its power, Fuel-efficient engine, Durable and lively engine, Multiple driving modes
Cons:
116 HP might be insufficient for some

3 Series G20-G21
After the F31, the G21 is here. I was satisfied with the F31, and it's the same here. You can feel the technological leap. I now have the automatic transmission and unfortunately miss the manual. I won't say it's bad, but somehow the manual fits better. I test-drove the C-Class and would probably have bought it, but it leaned in corners and didn't handle on the highway like the G21. It's glued to the asphalt. When I buy a car, I just get in and drive. Handling, quietness, and seats are what's most important to me. This is the best
Pros:
Significant technological advancement, Excellent road holding and highway stability, Superior handling and quietness, Comfortable seats
Cons:
Misses the engagement of a manual transmission
