Rarely has one letter and one number meant so much when joined together. They are M and 3. This is exactly the sort of embarrassingly pretentious and utterly wanky prose that the BMW M3 inspires. As soon as I wrote it, I regretted it. But it serves as a great example of what the […]

BMW makes very good cars. The latest 3 Series is a very good car indeed, so it would make logical sense that the 4 Series coupe that has been spun off the 3 Series would also be a very good car. That is not always the case though. But it is here. In fact, the […]
Now this is something that could be rather promising… This video is supposedly of the BMW i8 doing a quick run through the gears with its Active Sound Design technology (fake noise…) turned OFF! If that is actually true, then the sound coming from BMW’s little 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine is FREAKIN’ EPIC! If it […]
Every time a new BMW X5 is launched there comes the constant reminder from BMW that it is most definitely NOT an SUV. Nope. SUV stands for Sports Utility Vehicle and the X5 most certainly not that. No, apparently the X5 is an SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. Yes, apparently there IS a difference. To […]
Got more money than you reasonably know how to spend? Well then, you could either chuck some OVERSTEER’s way or you could blow a chunk of it buying your very own, one-of-a-kind prototype bespoke police car. Seriously. The Carbon Motors E7 looked to be well on track to become a production reality and, as such, would […]
… Hello BMW 2 Series coupe! While all the attention has been on the new BMW 4 Series coupe, details about its smaller sibling – the replacement for the 1 Series two-door family – have quietly been released. And, it seems, that it is here that the biggest differences between the earlier cars – where […]
The 320d Touring xDrive is every bit as brilliant a car as the more powerful 330d variant we tested previously. Just in a different way. Where the 330d is all power and aggression channeled through a beautifully balanced chassis and a formidably good AWD system, the 320d is more of a finely-honed, precision tool that […]
Italian-based businessman Pourmohseni Hadi had complained to BMW repeatedly about his 2008 M6’s vibrations, jolts and bad gear shifts. BMW Italy couldn’t fix it, so he took the most rational course of action and beat the hell out of it with an axe and a sledgehammer in front of the Frankfurt motorshow. Hadi had been complaining […]
Adding 4WD to the BMW 3 Series’ mix of attributes has been something that has been done in Europe for some time now – and even very briefly here – but it has largely been something that BMW has left to fellow Germans at Audi in this part of the world. Until now, that is. […]
Take one already exceptionally good car and throw a whole lot of extras at it for surprisingly little money and you should sell a bunch more of them. At least, that seems to be how it works for BMW these days. And who is going to argue with them, because in addition to a very […]
