How BMW grades

Across the 17 BMW models graded here — 6 sedans, 6 SUVs, 3 coupes and 2 convertibles — the median overall GPA is 3.05 (B), 0.61 above the 2.44 median across every graded model. 4 of the 17 run a hybrid, plug-in or fully electric powertrain.

Subject by subject against the rest of the fleet, technology is where BMW does best — a median of 3.80 against 2.92 elsewhere — and ownership cost is where it gives most away, at 0.00 against 0.85.

The highest-graded is the 2026 BMW i7 at 3.52; the lowest is the 2026 BMW Z4 at 2.48. Every grade is normalized inside its own segment, so these are cars measured against their direct rivals rather than against each other.
