A hidden object property called "PSTypeNames" will tell you the object type as well as the inherited chain:
(Get-WMIObject Win32_BIOS).PSTypeNames
In contrast to GetType(), this property will work for all objects, including COM objects. The most specific type is always found at the beginning of that array:
(Get-WMIObject Win32_BIOS).PSTypeNames[0]
