Damion Smy, 19 May 2013 11:00

The BMW 5-series has been facelifted, although you’d be hard pressed to tell on the outside. The most significant changes are under the tweaked skin... So what’s actually been changed?

Volkswagen’s hottest Golf – the R – has hit the Nürburgring for final shakedown tests ahead of its late 2013 launch.

BMW is applying a top-and-tail facelift to the 5-series GT later this year. The dumpy crossover has been roundly criticised for its awkward looks, but a smattering of 3-series cues will look to revitalise the slow-selling Gran Turismo. BMW 5-series Gran Turismo facelift: can BMW pull a good-looker out of the fire? The body-in-white won’t change, so we’re stuck with ...

Ben Pulman, 10 April 2013 16:00

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

BMW Concept X4 (2013) first pictures of baby X6 coupe-SUV

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 04 April 2013 23:00

This is the BMW Concept X4, which borrows the idea of an SUV with coupe proportions from its X6 brother, and shrinks the template down to the size of an X3. But don't be fooled by the 'Concept' tag of this car – like the Concept 4-series coupe we saw in 2012, the X4 is very much confirmed for production, and will ...
