For the month of November, European carmakers are offering some great deals on their newly introduced 2010 models. Only VW is advertising incentives on 09 models, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider shopping for a leftover if you’re looking for a higher end car. You could save a ton if you’re willing [...]

In a rather bizarre recall, BMW is in the process of recalling all 2007-2008 Mini Cooper S models. The bizarre thing isn’t the recall itself, but rather what it was for. Apparently, the problem is that the sporty tailpipe on the Cooper S’s exhaust system protrudes far enough out that if you were to get [...]

Despite the current economic situation some sectors of the automotive market have increased. Take BMW for example. The company recently announced that their M GmbH division has seen an increase in sales by around 50% compared to last year.
That’s a staggering figure these days. According to the company, a significant increase in world-wide sales has [...]

Recently, the folks over at Edmunds.com had a chance to drive the “production” version of Mini’s new fully electric Mini E. The reason I chose to highlight the word production is because that’s kinda stretching it a bit. Only 500 Mini E’s will be built and all carry a forced lease agreement.

The Z4 roadster is perhaps BMW’s only successful design centered around Chris Bangle’s “flame surfacing” design language. When it debuted the Z4 was quite a feast for the eyes. Never had a roadster looked so organic. It’s a surprise then, that with the newest Z4, the design is rather safe and more conservative.
Starting with the [...]

BMW M cars are what I like to call a little bit of motoring magic. Cars like the M3 and M5 take driving pleasure to whole new levels, not by being the most focused, but by offering the sweetest balance between performance, comfort, and usability. But what’s really set them apart it the past few [...]
