There were a few shining lights in car production last year, despite the economic doom and gloom. Ferrari did well (but we doubt for long), Audi kept growing, Fiat posted record profits and Rolls Royce had a record year. And one company that managed to grow sales was Mini (although an analysis of their sale […]

BMW 5-Series Gran Turismo (GT) concept unveiled
BMW has today shown us the concept for the 5-Series Gran Turismo (GT) which will launch at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September
BMW M6 Video
The BMW M6 is the flagship of the BMW range. A hugely powerful, £80k coupe, it has enormous power (if you can work out the right settings from the iDrive!). Not really the prettiest of cars it is, never the less, a real competitor in the market. On paper it is more powerful than the […]
2008 BMW M3 (E92) Road Test Video
The most successful car of its type ever made, the latest version of the M3 has a stonking V8 and huge power reserves, but still manages to be (slightly) more economical than the outgoing model. The new V8 model gives the powerful BMW a more relaxed demeanour (when you want it) but those huge reserves […]
Fiat and BMW ready to announce deal
Don’t mention the war, Basil! The Germans and Italians look like they’re getting in bed together again, but this time the axis could provide some goodies for us all, and some cost saving benefits for both BMW and Fiat.

BMW – Mean, GREEN, Driving Machines
BMW may be a lot of things. But stupid isn’t one of them. They haven’t stayed at the top of the Premium Car sector for so long without a pretty good idea of what they’re doing. BMW rolled out their EfficientDynamics a couple of years ago, and won the accolade of the Greenest Premium Manufacturer […]
BMW M1 Hommage to show at Melbourne
BMW has announced that it is going to use its M1 Hommage (or Homage, if you’re not German) as the centre piece of it’s stand at the Melbourne Motor Show in February. The BMW M1 Hommage was created last year to celebrate 30 years from the M1 road car creation in 1978, and was developed […]
Now the Germans say no to Volvo
As we’ve reported in the last few weeks, Ford has been trying its best to offload Volvo, the last of its ‘Prestige’ Euro marques. The Chinese looked to be the best bet, but it seems that that is going nowhere at the moment (the Chinese are probably waiting for Ford to get in to an […]
BMW M Car sales keep growing
Now here’s a conundrum. Why do sales of BMW M Cars keep growing, when every other car maker (bar a couple of exceptions like Audi) are seeing sales decimated? Is it because the cars are so good? After all, the M3, M5 and M6 variants do offer an enormous amount of fun and performance for […]
