THE BMW 3 Series has won the ‘Best Company Car for SMEs – Readers’ Award’ category in the Business Car Manager SME Company Car of the Year Awards 2012, run in association with MAGMA Automotive Services.

Business Car Manager – a uniquely dedicated business motoring website for small and medium enterprise (SME) businesses – wanted to reflect the actual company cars being researched on our Company Car Tax Calculator.

The judges looked back over the previous six months’ searches on the Business Car Manager Company Car Tax Calculator and totted up the numbers.

At the top – by some margin – was the BMW 3 Series range, with more than double the number of searches than its nearest competitor.

To cement the BMW 3 Series range position at the top of our readers’ company car wish list, the BW 5 Series saloon was third and the BMW 1 Series was fifth.

“The combination of a prestige badge and the low tax benefits of EfficientDynamics across the BMW car range, has clearly struck a chord with Business Car Manager readers,” commented Ralph Morton, editor, Business Car Manager.

“SME company car drivers have understood that they can drive a premium car without paying a punitive tax rate. And more than any other model range, readers are heading for the ultra successful BMW 3 Series.”

Here are three examples of the tax-efficiency of the BMW 3 Series range:

  • the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics can be driven for as little as £70 a  month in company car tax;
  • the BMW 320d SE auto for as little as £84 a month in company car tax; and
  • the BMW 316d for as little as £76 a month in company car tax.
