AutoExpress reviews the BMW X6: Is it a route worth following or a dead end? Creating niche products doesn’t always guarantee you success – but we can’t help feeling the X6 has ‘hit’ stamped all the way through it. While the looks will put many buyers off, that conversely is certain to attract others.The drivetrain, chassis and build quality are first rate, and although the cabin is a triumph of style over substance, the X6 is thoroughly competent.[source] Article added: 2008-05-29 04:23:16 Article Views Rating: 159
Automoblie Tests:BMW 335xi, vs. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution and Subaru Impreza WRX STI You've no doubt heard endless praise for both Subaru's wicked Impreza WRX STI and Mitsubishi's wild Lancer Evolution. It's well-deserved. With an intoxicating mixture of monster horsepower and magical four-wheel-drive systems, these little rockets have hexed a generation of boy racers into spending more than thirty grand on what are, in essence, tarted-up, entry-level economy cars.But what happens when the boy racer grows up? Subaru says he turns into Jason, a fictional character its marketing... Article added: 2008-04-08 05:01:27 Article Views Rating: 170

BMW 1 Series offers great ride, but comes with steep price tag Finally, a BMW under $30,000 that is not used, reclaimed from New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina or sold in the back lot of a chop shop. Of course, if you decide to add an HD Radio and iPod adaptor, or Xenon headlights, or pay sales taxes, the 2008 BMW 1 Series is going to top the 30-grand threshold. I like the luxury European compact cars now rolling onto America's streets. It's an interesting segment to watch, and one that's going to continue to grow. The Audi A3 and the Volvo C30 rev well in the... Article added: 2008-03-26 08:09:14 Article Views Rating: 188
BMW 1-series can fly; too bad it's heavy and ugly Let's begin with a verity, an undeniable truth that is evident from 3 feet away or from the cold distance of outer space: The new 1-series BMW is ugly. Seriously ugly. Ugly with X-wings locked in attack formation. I know an ugly car when one blows past me at 100 mph. Ugly cars are unusual, for very good reasons. Auto companies are vast organizations, with billions of dollars invested, and tens of thousands of employees, some of whom can actually pick out their own ties. Also, in an age of computer-aided...

BMW 123d hanging out in Michigan Imagine, if you will, a compact rear-wheel-drive hatchback that runs from 0-62mph in a very respectable 6.9 seconds. Not too shabby. Now imagine that this same car could average 45 mpg US! Not possible, you say? Au contraire! In other parts of the world where they don't just use gasoline to power cars, this is not an unheard-of possibility. One shining example is the BMW 123d, which was launched in Europe last year. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder diesel cranking out 204hp and 295lb-ft... Article added: 2008-06-02 06:48:32 Article Views Rating: 192
BMW 3-series future design concept We’re used to seeing concept design studies for exotics like Ferrari and Lamborghini, and even a Corvette every now and then, but it’s not often that we come across designs for more mundane models such as the BMW 3-series sedan. The design seen here is the creation of Coventry design school graduate Benedetto Bordone and previews a possible future design direction for the BMW brand.The design features its own unique complex surface language and was created by Bordone as a realistic direction for BMW...
