BMW Car News

Continuing the them of the new BMW 3 series, we want to show this excellent video from the USA form Rosenthal.  We often see vehicle reviews on TV and on the web but we especially like the way this was done because they put a 2011 BMW 3 Series next to the 2010 version and compared it so we can get a real feel of the improvements or changes over the previous model. The test drive is done from the passenger seat, something we are not used to seeing, it is normally the driver who speaks, something different.  Professionally presented this car has the X drive (not sure if this available in the UK) and has the M sport package so does not represent the full BMW 3 Series range and so could be a bit biased on the model. The other obvious fact is this review in the USA when fuel is cheaper than in the UK (even though most Americans cannot believe the price of gas) , so the UK market is probably more orientated to the diesel engine market, especially when BMW has a fantastic range of frugal engines delivering over 70mpg and keeping the benefit in kind figure on company cars to as low as 13%. Most BMW 3 Series Lease deals taken out are based on frugal engines and low CO2 emissions. here is the video presented by Rosenthal.

BMW have in most cases made good looking cars, although in recent years there has been criticism regarding the styling, where it has been just too bold in certain cases, especially the 5 series.  Even so, this still has not stoped other manufacturers mirroring the lines, including the French, even marketing their cars as looking German. But with the new 2010 BMW 3 Series convertible, you can throw the criticism in the bin, as this car is just stunning in every way. The hard top technology is now in BMW’s vehicles also, which adds to the practicability  of the cars and takes away the edge certain French cars had whilst BMW stayed firm with soft tops. Match this with the driving experience and engine technology and you cant imaging this being anything bit a winner. There are still very few videos out there, of this new design, but this one is available and shows the car with its roof up at the end.

If there was ever a car that hit the mark for executive travel it would be the BMW 5 Series, that has been the best seller in its class for some time now. Bmw’s commitment to driving experience, quality engineering and innovation has kept the 5 series ahead of some pretty good cars. The 5 series range will keep anyone interested in economy to speed happy, with the diesel models pretty much being the best in their class keeping business expenses down and the car lease industry alive, where the power of larger engine turbo engine petrol engines, keeps the speed merchant happy.

These cars hold their value well, which means BMW car lease options can be as cheap as other makes, then wehn running costs are also factored in, you find businesses prepared to look for new BMW 5 series car lease, rather than buying an older less efficient model. the styling didn’t go down well in 2003 when this latest style was introduced, but with some refining this is now looking good.

The review below is from Parkers, the price guide book publisher and gives some real insight to the benefit of owning a BMW 5 Series.

This maybe is no longer a new video and the new BMW Z4 has been around for several months now, but it is only recently that the reviews from car magazines such as Top Gear and Fifth Gear have come into play. It seems that the new Z4 is much better than the old, with Jezza from Top Gear suggesting gthis is what he would buy before the Porshe Boxster which is not something he would have said about the old one. Not sure I like the Z4 as a painter though.

For us though the biggest change is the hard coupe roof on the roadster rather than the soft top of its earlier model. Yes it has better handling, but not all of us have access to to a track to try it out and to be honest, not all of us even put our BMW’s though the paces. We just like the Z4 becuase it looks great, is reliable and its a BMW, what more can we say. You could look at BMW Z4 lease here.
