It seems that the BMW 730d L gets once again the “Chauffeur Car of the Year” award from the Professional Driver magazine. We say this because the same model has been awarded two years ago by the same publication. The German flagship model managed to reclaim its crown against some serious rivals such as Jaguar XJL and Audi A8 L. As we can see, this category is dominated by models bearing the “L” badge which means that we talk about extended-wheelbase models.

“It was a very close contest, with the new Audi A8L winning praise for its comfort and good looks, and Audi’s chauffeur programme probably edges BMW’s. The BMW 730Ld offers an exceptional mix of comfort, rear-seat luxury and driveability,” said Mark Bursa, Professional Driver editor.

If you are interested to know the specs of the German model, you might want to find that 730d L is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel unit able to produce 245 horsepower.

According to the rankings, BMW 535d GT also gets the first place in the “Executive Car of the Year” category, followed by Jaguar XF and Audi A6.

Apparently, all of the BMW customers are happy with their decision of buying such a vehicle and more and more cars are getting prestigious awards in their class.

A large survey conducted in the UK states that the BMW 3 Series was the most reliable car in the UK in 2008. Even more, the 7th car in this chart is none other than the BMW 1 Series. The Mini hatch also managed to enter the chart, making BMW the top company when it comes to reliability.

This is a great victory for the people at BMW and it just stands to show that they can create the best concept cars around while getting the prize for the most reliable car in the UK. Many people thought that BMW is cutting back at the performance section when starting amazing designs, but it seems that top performance mixes beautifully with great looks. In the same section, BMW managed to get the “Green Marketing Campaign of the Year” award.
