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

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 ...

Mercedes E350 CGI (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 06 March 2009 10:19

Overlook worldwide recession and the automotive market place is primed for the launch of Mercedes’ new E-class. BMW’s 5-series feels old and outdated (it’ll be replaced in less than 12 months time) while Audi’s A6, despite (or perhaps because of) a minor facelift late last year, doesn’t feel particularly new either. So it’s an open net for Mercedes then, but ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 21 October 2008 12:30

The new Audi S4 is either Ingolstadt’s idea of a bad joke or a stroke of genius. If you follow the former line of thought, then you’re from the camp that thinks the economy has jumped off a cliff, gone into freefall and the last thing the world needs is a grunty super-saloon. But if you side with the latter then ...

Mercedes GLK350 (2008) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 21 April 2008 09:43

It's been a long wait, but we've finally driven Mercedes' new junior off-roader, the GLK. And we can confidently say Stuttgart’s latest offering is an off-roader because CAR has been mud-plugging in the GLK - and beating its big brother M-class driven by Mercedes’ own instructors. Still, the GLK has to prove an awful lot if it’s to compete in ...

Audi S5 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 26 April 2007 01:20

Have I missed something? How can we be reading about an S5 when we haven't even had an A5? Because Audi knew BMW was going to launch its M3 this spring and wanted to spoil the Munich firm's thunder. So it decided to launch both the A5 and its hot 354bhp S5 spin-off at the same time. The £39,725 S5 ...
