My 2016 F32 BMW 430d 9 Month 13500 Mile Update

It has now been 9 months since I acquired my 4 Series and it has been getting plenty of use over that time doing the daily grind, family holidays towing the caravan and many many drives just for the love of driving. I’m pleased to say that so far there have been no issues either,…

BMW M140i Shadow Edition Review

It had been a while since I had been loaned a car to test and photograph so I was really pleased when BMW Warwick said they had an M140i I could take for the day. I really enjoyed the M240i I drove earlier in the year and this had the extra practicality of 5 doors…

My X1 – First Update 9500 miles in

It’s hard to believe it is 4 months since I collected the X1 and even harder to believe I have covered 9500 miles in that time but here we are. Arriving to collect the car I was greeted by stunning sunshine reflecting off of the beautiful sunset orange paintwork and I knew I had made…

Update September 2018

Things have been very quiet on here of late so I wanted to do a little update on what’s been happening. On the car review pieces I’ve suffered a lot of plans falling through and promises not materialising for one reason or another which means since the M2 back in June I haven’t reviewed a…

A Perfect Days Driving in an M2

Firstly, it has been a while since I posted here due to a hospital stay and some periods of illness but I’m pleased to say I’m back. And what better way to come back than to spend the day with a Chameleon Wrapped BMW M2 and some Welsh roads to play with? The car came…

A day with the BMW X5 M50d

I arrived at BMW Warwick expecting to collect an X5 40e and experience my first hybrid but to my surprise and that of my contact there Jon, the car had been replaced on the fleet with an M50d. Whilst I was intrigued by the hybrid car I would be lying if I said I was…

The BMW M240i Reviewed

The different M badged cars can be a little confusing to some people but in brief most models come with an M-Sport trim available which basically gives you a sportier look inside and out compared to the lesser specified models in the range and add some driving performance changes in the form of lower sportier…

The New Aston Martin Vantage Preview

  I got a last minute call from my local Aston Martin dealer, Grange Aston Martin Birmingham, who said they had the new Vantage in the showroom for just a few more hours and would I like to come and view it and take some photographs. Needless to say I was straight over there and I…

The New Bentley Continental GT (2018)

I was fortunate this week to be able to spend a little bit of time looking around the new Bentley Continental GT in the showroom at Bentley Birmingham. For the most part since the car was launched I have loved the look of it. The previous generation was a bit of a marmite car but I…

Is the BMW 440i (with M-Peformance Exhaust) a Baby M3/M4?

Just a week after spending the day with the BMW M3 Competition Pack I got the opportunity to do the same with a BMW 440i, fitted with the M-Performance exhaust. Being cars based of the same series, 3 series and 4 series, I was intrigued as to how similar the cars would be and what…
