With roots in 1900s Germany and a nearly 100-year legacy of premium vehicle production, this year's BMW lineup is truly a culmination of luxury ingenuity, first-class technology, and the finest craftsmanship. Join Athens BMW as we explore the 2025 BMW lineup, including how and why numbers and letters distinguish models and which sedan, coupe, convertible, roadster, or SUV could be your perfect fit.
The BMW model lineup is elegant and regal, but it can also be confusing, even to drivers who have known and loved this luxury brand for years. Whether you're new to the family or a veteran BMW enthusiast, this 2025 BMW lineup guide can clear up any confusion about the ABCs – and 123s – of the iconic automaker's unique naming conventions.
Spend a few moments perusing the new inventory at Athens BMW, and you'll notice that many of our models have numbers in their names. Take BMW X Series SUVs, for example. An internal BMW team called the Strategic Naming and Vehicle Identification department created these numbered monikers according to a specific set of rules.
The first number in any BMW name stands for the vehicle's series, and these numbers also ascend in order by vehicle size. Apply this rule to BMW X Series models, and you'll see that a BMW X1 is the smallest SUV in the BMW lineup, followed by the BMW X2, the BMW X3, and so on.
Now that we're clear on how to determine a BMW vehicle's series number and size, let's take an even closer look at the numbers and letters in individual BMW X1 models and trims. In 2025, the BMW X1 is available in one core variant: The BMW X1 xDrive28i. "xDrive" showcases the SUV's signature all-wheel-drive system, while "28i" indicates a 2.0-liter gas engine.
Wondering how "28i" equates to that engine and fuel type? In the past, BMW model names directly correlated to their engine displacements, so "28" stood for 2.8 liters, and "i" was short for fuel "injection." Modern BMW vehicles still use a "28i" designation, which usually refers to a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine and represents relative power.
Spend five minutes inside any BMW sedan – you don't even have to put the engine in gear – and its luxe demeanor and effortless charm will win you over. The 2025 BMW sedan lineup is a masterclass in driver-focused design, elegant yet sporty interiors, exceptional handling, and powerful performance. Explore the new BMW sedans below, including each model's entry-level specs. If you're interested in xDrive AWD, please note that it's typically available on other trims.
