BMW M5 (2012) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 08 May 2012 16:01

Steel brakes clogging up on our M5 - 8 May 2012 Had a quick peek at the M5’s cross-drilled brake discs the other day and noticed they were clogged with carbon deposits. Every hole on the front discs is full, while the rear discs are slowly filling up. I actually ended up inspecting them after feeling that the brakes weren’t ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 22 March 2012 13:01

Starring on the small screen: our 1M video - 23 March 2012 Before Jethro Bovingdon departed the CAR offices, he recorded a lovely film about our long-term test BMW 1-series M Coupe. In all the to-ing and fro-ing of him leaving, we never got round to showing his video review of our favourite small long-termer on the fleet. Watch this ...

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 03 October 2011 10:32

The new October 2011 issue of CAR Magazine stars the new F10-era BMW M5 on the cover - and we gathered together the greatest M cars ever made to find out where the new 2011 M5 fits in the canon. Don't miss the 20-page M5 special. And read on for our first drive review of the turbocharged BMW M5.  Turbochargers? On ...

BMW M3 (E36) long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 15 August 2011 09:30

The end of the M3? – 15 August 2011 As you’ll probably guess from the pics, the race didn’t go so well – my M3 came home from the Team Trophy at Donington yesterday on a breakdown truck. In fact, I didn’t even race – I just managed to scrape through the qualifying session before it all went wrong. Shame, because I ...

BMW M3 Competition Pack (2010) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 21 July 2011 09:30

Goodbye to a great car – 21 July 2011 As most of you know, my beloved M3 actually disappeared back to BMW a while ago, from where in went into the dealer network and was probably bought by some unsuspecting punter who thought it was a great buy and had no idea about its past history as a hard-used press car. ...

BMW 640i Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 July 2011 11:08

Hardened BMW fans (I’d put myself under that umbrella) might still be coming to terms with cars like the X6 and X1, but huge sales figures render our furrowed brows rather irrelevant. Even so, it’s nice to be reporting on a niche BMW that’s not a quasi off-roader. In fact the new 6-Series should keep traditionalists very happy. Based on ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 28 April 2011 10:00

This is the new BMW 1-series M Coupe, and it signals a significant departure for BMW’s famed M Division. After generations of high-revving, naturally aspirated engines, BMW M is being forced down the forced induction route in a bid to produce more fuel efficient cars. The forthcoming M5 has a twin-turbo V8, the next-gen M3 will feature a blown six-cylinder ...

BMW Z4 sDrive 35iS (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 06 April 2011 09:00

The current E89 BMW Z4 won’t spawn an M version. For some that will be a disappointment, but the rest of us are rejoicing because instead BMW’s M Division is readying a sub-M3, the 1-series M Coupe. That means the hottest Z4 is this, the sDrive 35iS, whose engine will power the 1-serie M Coupe, but actually costs £5290 more ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe prototype (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 16 December 2010 11:30

This is BMW's latest M car, the 1-series M Coupé. When it hits UK roads in May 2011, the 1-series M Coupé will go head-to-head with the new Audi RS3. Both produce 335bhp and 332lb ft of torque, have a sub-five second 0-62mph time and cost less than £40,000. We've driven a late prototype here. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive ...
