BMW 730d long-term test review

2.5

Greg Fountain, 29 December 2009 21:03

Long-term test update – 29 December 2009 If you look it up, you’ll see the retail price for our long-wheelbase long-term BMW 730d is £56,790 – amazingly good value for such a superior car. The price list doesn’t exactly lie, but it’s not the whole truth either, as we found when we came to spec the car with ‘essential’ extras. Dynamic ...

BMW 316d ES (2009) CAR review

Glen Waddington, 27 November 2009 09:53

In the summer we tested BMW’s eco-diesel in the baby 1-series, and pretty good it was too. But what happens when you slip a mean-sounding 114bhp under the snout of the bigger 3-series? Is £35 annual tax sufficient recompense? And is the 316d really capable of 62.8mpg? Okay, the economy thing first. How good is the new BMW 316d in ...

BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (2009) CAR review

3.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 08 November 2009 00:01

BMW doesn't do things by halves. This is their first full hybrid model, the ActiveHybrid X6, and it's the most powerful hybrid in the world. It combines a 407bhp 4.4-litre twin-turbocharged V8 engine with a fiendishly complicated gearbox that contains two electric motors, one optimised for low-speed running, one to boost power at higher speeds. The X6 ActiveHybrid's electric motors ...

BMW 7-series ActiveHybrid 7 (2009) CAR review

Tim Pollard, 29 October 2009 13:34

How very BMW. The new ActiveHybrid 7 – Munich's name for its petrol-electric hybrid 7-series – is very much lodged at the top of the Seven family tree. Not for BMW to launch a sackcloth and sandals 7-series hybrid; this one sports a 4.4-litre V8, not one but two turbochargers and a 0-60mph sprint claim to worry many Porsches.We lost ...

BMW X1 xDrive20d (2009) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 25 September 2009 23:00

The new BMW X1 is the German car giant’s fourth addition to its 4x4 range, so although the original X5 might have been beaten to market by Mercedes’ M-class, since then the company has always been one SUV step ahead of its homeland rivals. The X3 was launched in 2004, but Mercedes and Audi have only recently launched the GLK ...

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

3.5

Phil McNamara, 09 September 2009 14:00

BMW’s pursuit of niches barely visible to the naked eye continues with the 5-series Gran Turismo. Based on 7-series mechanicals and sharing all its gadgets, the 5 GT is a high-roofed hatchback, with lots of space for rear passengers and their luggage. BMW says it mixes the rear legroom of a 7-series with an SUV’s more commanding seating position and ...

BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 26 August 2009 11:46

This BMW 320d EfficientDynamics is the cleanest, greenest, most fuel-efficient 3-series ever. It’s designed to appeal to fleet buyers and the environmentally conscious alike, and thanks to some further tuning and tweaking of the company’s biggest selling Three, the 320d EfficientDynamics will, on paper at least, achieve 68.9mpg and emit a remarkable 109g/km. It’ll be officially unveiled at the Frankfurt ...

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 21 August 2009 09:30

Sporty BMWs and aftermarket add-ons go hand-in-hand. Some AC Schnitzer aluminium pedals for your M3, perhaps? A set of Hartge rims? Maybe even a Dinan supercharger kit? Now BMW has decided to tap this lucrative niche, offering the BMW Performance line of exterior and interior accessories for the 1- and 3-series. Here we drive the firm’s fully loaded 135i demo. ...

BMW M3 Coupe Edition (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 12 August 2009 12:25

In the past we’ve had M3 Sport Evos, GTs and CSLs from BMW, all building on already brilliant foundations, all adding a little more petrolhead attitude. But with the E92 generation’s lightweight CSL project long since canned, the M3 Edition is as close as we’ve yet come to an even more desirable M3. What’s the difference between a regualr BMW ...

BMW 760Li (2009) new CAR review

3.5

Greg Fountain, 27 July 2009 10:01

Of the many things we have to thank the Chinese for, this brand new BMW V12 engine is perhaps the most surprising. No, the unit wasn’t built in Beijing, it’s just that were it not for China’s insatiable taste for tasty limos you surely wouldn’t be reading this. A quarter of all the V12-powered BMWs built since 2002 ply their ...
