It looks like BMW has signed off the BMW X4 for production. Expect it in showrooms late 2013, with a concept X4 late 2011. There’s been talk about producing a little brother for the BMW X6 since… well, since the BMW X6 turned from a ‘They’ll never build that’ to ‘The’y’ll never sell that ‘ […]

We have the first photo of the 2011 BMW 6-Series Convertible, and the news it will launch at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2011. We got the reveal of the BMW 6-Series Concept at the Paris Motor Show last week (well, the car BMW are calling the 6-Series Concept. If you believe that) and […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010) part 3
Part 3 of our week long review and road test of the BMW 320d Blue Efficiency. Try as hard as we can we can find precious little wrong with the BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics. About the only thing we can come up with that’s specific to the 320d ED is the longer final drive. We’ve […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010) part 2
Part 2 of our review and road test of the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics. Can it really drive like a proper BMW 3 Series? The BMW 32d EfficientDynamics could have been a step too far. It could have been a cynical marketing car; one dreamed up by bean counters and marketers instead of engineers and car […]
BMW 320d EfficientDynamics Review & Road Test (2010)
We spend a week with the BMW 320d EfficientDynamics, BMW’s super-frugal, tax man beating 3-Series. Is it a real 3-Series or just an eco-statement? It comes as something of a shock to realise that the BMW 3 Series has been around for thirty five years, not least since I remember its launch and the stir […]
2011 BMW X3: Paris Motor Show 2010
Despite revealing the 2011 BMW X3 back in July, the Paris Motor Show is the first public reveal of BMW’s smallest off-reader It’s hard to believe, I know. But until this weekend at the Paris Motor Show there had not been a public reveal of the 2011 BMW X3. It feels like it should already be running […]
BMW Recall: 350,000 Cars affected
BMW are recalling V8 and V12 BMWs and Rolls Royces to fix a potential problem with brake power assistance. We don’t tend to do every tuppeny-ha’penny recall on Cars UK. Any more than we do exotic car accidents. But some recalls affect so many people we do – occassionally – feel the need to do sensible reporting […]

Saab are about to announce a partnership with BMW, with BMW supplying engines for a new compact Saab 9-2 and a chassis. The rumours have been around for a few months that Saab were busy talking to BMW about supplying engines. And particularly about supplying engines for the Saab 9-2, Saab’s compact wish-list car. This […]
BMW 6 Series Coupe (2011) revealed
BMW has revealed the 2011 BMW 6 Series ahead of its debut at the Paris Motors Show. They’re calling it a a ‘Concept’. Poppycock. To be entirely accurate, BMW are calling this the BMW 6 Series Coupe Concept. But don’t believe a word of it; this is the new BMW 6 Series Coupe. Would you […]
