New BMW Concept X1 unveiled: first official photos
October 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment
This is the new BMW X1. Okay, BMW calls it the Concept X1 – it will be wheeled out tomorrow at the opening day of the Paris motor show – but 99 percent of what you see here will be arriving in production form in the UK in autumn 2009. Expect prices to kick off around £20,000 as the X1 tries to capitalise on its lack of direct rivals – Audi’s Q3 is still two years away. No surprise BMW is predicting 100,000 sales a year as buyers continue to downsize without loss of image. This... [Read the full story]

Controversial styling and a cramped cabin are offset by excellent driving dynamics and first class engine line-up. Styling/Image Like Marmite, you’ll either love or hate the angles, swoops and curves of the BMW 1-Series. However, you’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing a bodystye – there’s a three or five-door hatch, together with rakish coupe and convertible models. It’s worth the extra to upgrade entry-level... [Read the full story]

MINI One 1.4
September 17, 2008 · Leave a Comment
As they’re small, lightweight and fitted with fuel-efficient engines, superminis are the ideal choice for drivers on a budget. Still, you might be surprised to learn that, according to our calculations, the cheapest of the lot is a MINI. Billed as a premium model, the British-built hatch has always been much pricier to buy than traditional rivals, yet less practical. Running the entry-level One, however, costs a mere 23.7 pence per mile. That means it undercuts a lot of talented competition, such as the Vauxhall Corsa,... [Read the full story]

BMW 7 Series, the World’s Best Car?
September 23, 2008 · Leave a Comment
BMW’s 2009 7 Series stands as the new benchmark for technical and driving excellence among cars. With more efficiency and more power, an iDrive controller that’s nearly fixed (really and truly), Internet access, plus a dazzling array of comfort, entertainment, handling, and safety features, this is the car you should buy if you’ve got $85,000 burning a hole in your pocket. I drove a prototype 7 Series over the summer on BMW’s proving grounds in Miramas, France. Here’s a fuller review of the... [Read the full story]
