BMW 640i Coupe (2011) CAR review

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

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 1-series M Coupe prototype (2011) CAR review

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 ...

BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics (2010) CAR review

BMW 320d Efficient Dynamics (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 760Li (2009) new CAR review

BMW 760Li (2009) new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

BMW Z4 sDrive 23i (2009) CAR review

BMW Z4 sDrive 23i (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 22 June 2009 10:15

BMW's new twin-turbo sDrive35i Z4 has garnered all of the headlines so far, but how does the Z4 at the other end of the price spectrum deliver? BMW claims there are no current plans for a four-cylinder version of the new Z4, so for now this 204bhp 23i version is the entry-level roadster. Read on to find out if it's any good. Z4 sDrive23i? Looks ...

BMW Alpina B7 (2009) CAR review

BMW Alpina B7 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 09 June 2009 11:00

It sells fewer cars in one year (1304 in 2008) than BMW sells in a week, but despite its diminutive output, Alpina has an exceptionally high degree of recognition. Built on a reputation for peerless engineering, exceptional build quality and some pretty dodgy decals, the Bavarian firm has a knack for taking good cars and making them so much better, and ...

BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009) CAR review

BMW Z4 sDrive35i (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 19 March 2009 23:00

It says something that the first-generation BMW Z4 is already off-sale, yet it still looks ahead of its time, and is still fun to drive. The second-generation model, then, has quite an act to follow. CAR has just driven it, in twin turbo 35i trim – a 23i and 30i are also available – and we can report that it’s a very ...

BMW M6 Competition Package (2009) CAR review

BMW M6 Competition Package (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 05 March 2009 10:00

The M6 came out aeons ago (well, 2005), so BMW has seen fit to give it a refresh with the optional Competition Package, a collection of enhancements that ups the M6’s £83,700 sticker price by £2135. For that you get uprated suspension that’s 12mm lower at the front and 10mm lower at the rear. There are also more lenient stability ...
