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 ...

This is the latest member of the BMW 3-series family: the taller, roomer 3-series Gran Turismo.

Rated 4 out of 54

This is the BMW M6 Gran Coupe. Matching the M6 coupe's twin-turbo powertrain to the 6-series Gran Coupe's slinky body, think of it as a sexier, slightly faster alternative to the three-box M5 saloon. The M6 Gran Coupe is on sale from 25 May 2013, after a Detroit motor show reveal in January. How fast is the new BMW M6 Gran ...
