1 Series = smallest + cheapest
3 Series = smaller + more expensive
5 Series = midsize + even more expensive
and so on...
1 Series: Sub-compact hatchback which is currently sold only in Europe. It's a tiny little commuter car with your base BMW features. It's also pretty low on luxury. Cheapest BMW to purchase.
3 Series: Compact-Midsize sedan. BMW's bread-and-butter vehicle. Awesome handling, four doors and is a competitor with the Lexus IS, Acura TL, Audi A4 and Infiniti G35, among others. Turbocharged engine that makes 300 hp is an option. Price starts reasonably in the mid-30s but gets really high with all those options like navigation and sport package.
5 Series: Midsize sedan which is competitor to Merc E-Class, Audi A6, Infiniti M and Lexus GS. This is for people who want BMW handling + functionality. Base engines puts out 215 hp, but more expensive models like the 550i make 360 hp. Luxurious interior, but once again, is extremely pricey if you add those options.
6 Series: Full-size luxury coupe or convertible, starts in the mid-70s for the coupe and low-80s for the convertible. Navigation and all those creature comforts are standard as well as a 360 hp engine. Is a competitor to Merc CLK and SL, Lexus SC and Cadillac XLR.
7 Series: BMW's largest sedan and flagship model. Long-wheelbase is optional, and standard leather is Nasca leather. Wood trim varies with trim. Competes with Lexus LS, Maserati Quattroporte, Merc S-Class and Audi A8. Most expensive model is 760Li which boasts around 490 hp and is gargantun.
Z4: Performance convertible. Has only two seats and competes with Merc SLK. Very small and is successor to the Z3.
M models: Performance variations on the line. Akin to Merc's AMG division, Audi's S and Lexus F.
X3 and X5: "SAV"s. X3 is compact and X5 is midsize. X5 offers a thrid row seat this year. Base engine is 260 hp and upmodel 4.8i boast 350 hp engine.

BIG differences! The 1 series is your base BMW. As you move up the gammet (3 series, 5, 6,7, and the relagated 8) You will find that the cars get larger, and more expensive. Arguably the best overall performance cars BMW produce are in the 3 series. They are well equiped luxury wise, however still pack a VERY potent punch, especially in the M variety. The 5 series is slightly larger, and slightly more expensive. The 5 series is offered only in 4 door, however certain "packages" such as the sport, or M, have some serious backroad prowess. The 6 series is BMW's flagship 2 door coupe/conv. It is very elegant, very luxurious, and very fast.... it's also very expensive. The true flagship of BMW however is its 7 series. This is where ALL the goodies BMW has to offer come out. They are very plush, very big, and VERY expensive (can be well over $90,000). The 7 series is the best of the best, but not nearly the "performer" the "lesser" cars are.
The 8 series was produced in the early 90's. It was BMW's stab at a true sports car, even available with a V12. The cars were incredibly expensive and unreliable however, and have been relagated to only a small chapter in the history of BMW.
Hope this helps

The 1 and the 3 are different body styles with the 1 being smaller. The 1 offers two inline sixes that produce 230 and 300 hp. Probably the same engine in the 3 series. Base price for the 1 starts at 29k and of course goes up, way up. Maybe about a five or six thousand dollar difference in a compatible 3 series.

OK
First the cars grow bigger in each series.
i.e a 7 series is WAY WAY bigger than a 3 series
Secondly, the engine is much different in each series.
Prices do increase with each consecutive series
