How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display, 158 such records for BMW alone, model years 1975 to 2026.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and for BMW that means 68 generation rows instead of 158 year-by-year ones. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation, which is how the 45 BMW entries below are built.
