The new recruits will join over 400 existing apprentices currently undergoing training across the company’s UK operations, and within its BMW and MINI dealer network, with […]
Some cars need little in the way of an introduction. The BMW M3 saloon is one such car. This is the fifth iteration of famous M branded smaller saloon and it features forced induction in the form of a twin turbocharger. The high-revving, 3.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology has been developed […]
The BMW 3 Series in now in the fifth incarnation. Whilst the visual jewellery and front end are new, the car is instantly recognisable. This latest variant from BMW does not disappoint, and certainly not in 320D form. Compare and contrast a sprint of less than 8 seconds to sixty along with 60 MPG and […]
In this video, CarBuyer reviews the new BMW X5. The previous generation quickly became one of the favourite ‘Chelsea tractors’ on the streets, but does the new car live up to this?

Need a quick car? Need it to be a diesel for higher MPG and lower emissions? Then look no further than the strangely named BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-turbo. Poor name aside, this car is made to surprise you. Performance figures are zero to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds and on to 173 mph, yet […]

However, what really grabbed my attention was the BMW i8 – a mid engine hybrid plug in supercar with the equivalent performance of a Porsche 911. It is a four seater and weighs less than 1500kgs and is a genuine road car. […]
Some cars just strike me as immediately more useful than their standard car. The BMW 3 Series GT (2013 variant) seen here and being reviewed by CarBuyer is just such a car. More space – boatloads of space – a wider track, longer wheelbase and a very well thought out design make for one supremely […]
BMW has a knack of producing cars that fit absolutely into their current range, whilst appearing dramatic, fresh and pretty much as good as the concept that preceded it. The BMW 4 Series Coupe is no exception to this. Taught, muscular lines on the body curve with subtle lines to give the sense that the […]
The BMW Pininfarina Gran Lusso Coupe (yes, insanely long name I know) is the work of a collaboration between BMW and the powerhouse that is Pininfarina. In this elaborately created one-off, the renowned companies BMW Group and Pininfarina joined forces to bring an idea to fruition: “The appeal of this collaboration with Pininfarina is that […]
