BMW 325 Following a modest face-lift last year, only a few small changes will take place on BMW's entry-level series for the 2003 model year. A front armrest and a headrest in the center rear seat are now standard. A rain sensor with an automatic headlight control has been added to the Premium Package. BMW's optional navigation system has been upgraded to DVD-based operation and can now be installed along with an in-dash CD player. |
$13,550 – $17,450 |

BMW 330 Entry-level BMW shoppers who'd like a little more power than the 325 provides can still step up to the 330, which holds a larger six-cylinder engine. A front armrest and a headrest in the center rear seat are standard for the 2003 model year. A rain sensor with an automatic headlight control has been added to the Premium Package. BMW's optional navigation system has been upgraded to DVD-based operation and can now be installed along with an in-dash CD player. |

BMW 760 A fourth generation of BMW's high-dollar flagship 7 Series sedan arrived in the form of the 745i/745Li early in 2002 as midseason 2002 models. They come equipped with a V-8 engine and what the automaker claims is the world's first six-speed-automatic transmission. The regular-size 745i went on sale in January 2002, and the longer-wheelbase 745Li joined it in March. |

BMW 525 BMW's midlevel rear-wheel-drive (RWD) 525 sedan and wagon, which fit between the smaller 3 Series models and the flagship 7 Series cars, get several modifications for the 2003 model year. A moonroof is now standard on the base-model 525i, which holds a 2.5-liter inline-six-cylinder engine. BMW's Head Protection System for rear passengers has been added, and the available navigation system switches to DVD-based operation. |
$12,200 – $13,850 |

BMW 530 Designers are thought to be at work on the next generation of BMW's midlevel 5 Series sedans, but the launch of those models won't happen for a while. For 2003, a moonroof becomes standard on the midrange 530i, which carries a 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine. BMW's Head Protection System for rear passnegers is now standard, and the available navigation system switches to DVD-based operation. |
$14,950 – $15,750 |
|
BMW 540 A 4.4-liter V-8 engine provides the power for the strongest member of BMW's midlevel 5 Series family. Although they look virtually identical, the 525i and 530i sedans use inline-six-cylinder engines and the high-performance M5 sedan gets a larger, extra-potent V-8. |
$16,000 – $17,350 |

BMW M5 Most BMW 5 Series owners will be more than pleased with the performance of the 540i, with its 4.4-liter V-8 engine or one of the six-cylinder versions. For those who yearn for even more invigorating energy beneath the hood, BMW again offers the super-performing M5 sport sedan. This hot midlevel BMW four-door is fitted with a six-speed-manual gearbox and a 5.0-liter V-8 engine that cranks out 394 horsepower. |
$25,000 – $26,400 |

BMW Z8 Not many Z8s are tooling down American roads, but they can cause quite a stir when they are spotted. On sale in limited quantities since the spring of 2000, BMW's roadster harks back to the classic 507 sports car of the late 1950s. BMW's luxury and performance leader rivals the top-end two-seaters from Aston Martin, Ferrari and Mercedes-Benz. |
$71,000 – $91,500 |
|
BMW M3 Not much has changed for BMW's high-performance M3 coupe and convertible, except for the addition of a standard rain sensor with automatic headlight control. On sale since 2001, the M3 models are powered by a 333-horsepower inline-six-cylinder engine — that's about 100 hp more than the regular BMW 3 Series engine delivers. |
$22,600 – $24,700 |
|
BMW Z4 After seven seasons on the market, BMW's Z3 series of sports cars has been replaced by an all-new Z4 duo. Introduced at the Paris Motor Show in September 2002, the Z4 two-seaters went on sale in November 2002. |
$15,100 – $17,250 |

BMW X5 BMW joined the luxury sport utility vehicle ranks in the 2000 model year with its X5, a car-based model created to challenge the Infiniti QX4, Lexus RX 300 and Mercedes-Benz M-Class. Equipped with permanently engaged four-wheel drive (4WD), BMW says the X5 is suitable for “any road, any time, any reason,” but it isn't really intended for use as a true offroad vehicle. Instead, BMW calls the X5 a “sports activity vehicle.” The stylish and sporty SUV is produced at BMW's plant in Spartanburg, S.C., alongside the company's Z3 sports car (which has been renamed to Z4 for 2003). Sales of the X5 in 2001 totaled 40,622 units, according to Automotive News. |
