BMW have launched this concept car as a homage to the 1930’s 328, a car that to this day still holds the average speed record on the Mille Miglia circuit. However, the jury is out on this one. Are we being boring or does this car look too weird to be a cool concept? While…

A 1-Series Coupe brandishing the sought after and highly regarded ‘M’ badge was an enticing prospect, especially when it looked the part, but for 40k it would need more than a badge and some flared wheel arches to impress. Let’s start with the obvious. The car is rear wheel drive and the ride is hard…
It’s fair to say that the original DB4GT Zagato was an elegant yet powerful racing icon.

The Audi Q3 has been eagerly anticipated and is a fairly obvious, although much better looking response to BMW’s X1. £24,560 will get you a 138bhp 2.0TDI which Audi claims will do 54.3mpg. Of course you can upgrade to the Quattro for…
