ROAD TEST: BMW M3

The BMW M3 is a legend, regardless of which one you are talking about. This one is the last of the V8-powered E92 coupes and it may prove to be more of a legend than most. The noise and fury of a V8 M3 on full song was remarkable when it first came out and […]

OAD TEST: BMW 116i Edition 30

The second-generation BMW 1 Series is a fantastic little car. Addressing the criticisms of the first car, the new 1 also adds a higher level of sophistication and polish to the smallest BMW. The addition of a lower-powered version of the turbo 1.6-litre petrol engine that features in the 118i in the newly-available 116i lowers […]

FIRST DRIVE: BMW 3 Series Touring

Here in New Zealand all things wagon-y in the Euro sector tend to be utterly dominated by Audi. This is something that really rips BMW’s and Mercedes’ undies, as they simply cannot make inroads into Audi’s wagon dominance.

ROAD TEST: BMW M6

OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: BMW M6 BMW’s M cars are, as a rule, rather special. Despite the company’s slightly confused attempt to add SUVs to the M line up, the ‘proper’ M cars (the ones with a single number after the M… or in the case of the 1M, before…) are still very much the heroes […]
