The CRC Speedshow was on this past weekend and, as with previous years, just keeps getting bigger and better every year. The sheer range of incredible cars on show is staggering, and the amount of interesting stuff to spend vast amounts of money on in between the cars is more than a little tempting. OVERSTEER […]

Three months ago we bought you the launch of the new BMW 3 Series Touring – or wagon to you and I – complete with the promise of all-wheel drive versions just around the corner. Well, now those AWD – otherwise known as xDrive – versions of the sexy and capable wagon are here. We […]
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 […]
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 […]
OVERSTEER ROAD TEST: BMW 318d Touring The BMW 3 series is a fine car, managing to offer all round niceness across the range. Now the latest wagon variant has hit our shores, so naturally we had to see if the 3 Series can take on the dominant might of Audi in the premium wagon segment… […]

The weather was kind and a good day was […]

In October last year we bought you the First Drive of the new mega-hot hatch from BMW, the M135i. That was in Australia. Now we are proud to bring you the very first drive of the M135i on New Zealand soil. OVERSTEER has driven the car more than 1,500km from Auckland to Queenstown over two […]
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. BMW are giving it another go, with the new wagon version of the sexy 3 Series. But […]
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 […]
