BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

BMW X3 xDrive20d SE (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 06 January 2011 12:02

BMW’s X3 has long been the runt of the Munich litter. The last X3 was seemingly made of less sturdy stuff than other BM models and didn’t drive as sharply either. But it hopes to reverse all that with the new F25-codename X3. It still looks like a shrunken X5, but you’re less likely to confuse the two now thanks ...

BMW 730d long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

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 530d/520d (2009) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 27 January 2009 11:38

When faced with the all-new Mercedes E-class, the apparently new Audi A6 and Jaguar’s XF, it’s all too easy to forget about the executive saloon segment’s benchmark, the BMW 5-series. With a replacement due in 2010, we at CAR thought it time to reappraise the Five. Not least because CAR Online wasn’t around when the current 5-series was first launched, ...

BMW 530i (2007) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 02 March 2007 01:23

Er, help me out, I’ve been staring at the picture, pen poised, for 20 minutes and I haven’t ringed a single difference See that big air intake under the bumper? See how the ends point upwards instead of down? And see that that horizontal chrome bar running between the two foglights? What are you, blind? How could you possibly miss ...

BMW Hydrogen 7 (2006) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Oliver, 16 November 2006 09:42

That’s not a green car. It’s a dirty great limo… Yes, it’s a long-wheelbase BMW 7-series with a 6-litre V12 engine. But it runs on liquid hydrogen as well as petrol, emitting virtually no CO2 when it’s burning H2. As hydrogen is one of nature’s most abundant elements, we’re not about to run out. And it’s a proper car: 0-60mph ...

BMW Z4 M Roadster (2006) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 20 July 2006 16:41

So, Munich's TVR is back? That's right, but this one's a bit more sophisticated than the Z3-based version from the late 1990s. It's got the current M3's multi-award-winning straight six and no trace of the old M roadster's ancient semi-trailing arm rear suspension. Not much to look at, is it? It's certainly more discreet than the old M whose bulging ...
