BMW has once again dominated a poll of Britain's business drivers and fleet managers asking them to name their favourite cars and manufacturers.

The 3 Series was voted BusinessCar magazine's Car of the Yea for the third time in a row and BMW completed the treble by being voted Manufacturer of the Year for the third time in succession and its X5 was yet again the winner in the Large 4x4 category for an incredible sixth time.

A spokesman for the magazine, which counts 18,000 influential decision makers in the fleet market as readers, says: "It's the hat-trick for BMW as the premium German brand snares its third consecutive BusinessCar Manufacturer of the Year title after another 12 months that saw exciting new models and more reductions in emissions.

"Obviously the launch of the new 3-series saloon and Touring, BMW's fleet favourite and the new Business Car of the Year, was the major news for 2012 but there was plenty else going on in terms of modification and improvement to the firm's model range during last year to make it even more appealing to corporate customers.''

Paul Barker, BusinesCar editor, adds: "BMW is still at the head of the industry when it comes to vehicle efficiency, driving dynamics, running costs and vehicle desirability, all of which are crucial to the business car market.

"It's no surprise to see the new BMW 3-series follow in the wheel tracks of the 1-series, which took the 2012 Business Car of the Year award, and it shows that those people operating fleets of vehicles understand and appreciate the job BMW is doing."

"The quality of product and service across the business car market is unprecedented so the winners should take huge pride in being voted best in the industry by the people whose business relies on them.''

James Platt, general sales manager at Knights BMW at Radial Park off the A500, says: "The 3 Series is an enduring favourite in the fleet market because it is such a great car to drive, is tremendous value, it exudes quality and always looks stylish inside and out.

''BMW is also a leader is delivering real-world tax efficient technologies that business drivers demand and expect nowadays. Since we began the EfficientDynamics programme that reduces fuel consumption and emissisions but without asking the drivers to compromise on either their enjoyment behind the wheel or practicality BMW has become recognised as one of the industry leaders in making company cars so much greener and affordable to run.

"This is a strong combination in a competitive market and a strong message to send out to customers and judging from these results it is one that business drivers warm to.''
