In the Europe-wide voting, the new BMW 5 Series Saloon, the BMW X1 and the concept car BMW Vision EfficientDynamics were able to assert themselves in each of their vehicle categories.

This once again confirms the fascination and quality of BMW design, which authentically expresses the brand-typical driving pleasure, contributing decisively towards the success of current models in all vehicle segments.

The trade journals Auto Bild and its 20 European sister magazines had called on a total of around 40 million readers to nominate the best designed cars of the year.

There was a choice of 103 new models being offered on European automobile markets as well as current concept vehicles and studies.

The international readers' voting resulted in success for BMW in three out of five vehicle categories.
