2021 BMW M2 CS Review

BMW’s fun-loving M2 scores more power, more stuff and some added rarity for its final bow as the M2 CS. Four and a half years ago I drove the BMW M2 for the first time. I was dead-set hooked. There…

2021 BMW M3 and M4: Australian Pricing and Spec

The 2020 BMW M3 and M4 have landed (after the usual, suspicious leak) with plenty of photos in lairy colours. And stacks of gear and power. Yep, it’s got that nose. And in what is sure to be a staggeringly…

2020 BMW M8 Competition: Dead-set beast

BMW’s flagship sports coupe is an absolute rip-snorter, with a proper sports car lurking underneath the long-legged GT body. The 8 Series is supposed to be the replacement for the 6-Series, but it’s more than that. I reckon it’s more…

BMW M3 Wagon is Go. For Australia.

You might have caught me scolding BMW for not doing a fast wagon and it seems I’m a powerful man in this town (along with a zillion other people). The next M3 is surely going to be an absolute belter…

2020 BMW Z4 Manual

A BMW Z4 manual is the kind of car really keen people want. It’s not that there’s anything wrong an automatic…we just want to do gears ourselves. We’ve driven Z4s and we like them. The new platform might be a…

2020 BMW 840 Gran Coupe Review

The 840i Gran Coupe is proof BMW can do pretty cars that drive beautifully but don’t have to scream about any of it. Big, low-slung four-door coupes seem to have survived the carnage wrought by SUVs. I say this, because…

2021 BMW 4 Series Properly Unveiled

The new 2021 BMW 4 Series – a car we’ve had a pretty good look at already – has finally been unveiled. Striking styling, upgraded engines and tech. The most controversial design of 2021 has been given its day in…

2020 BMW M135i Review

Munich’s M Performance hatchback, the BMW M135i, has returned. Riding on an all-new platform, it’s not quite the car it replaces. We like a bit of transparency here on The Redline. So I’m going to tell you that my love…

BMW M235i 2020 Review

BMW is bringing back the small sedan after the 3 Series just kept growing and growing. The M235i is, obviously, the quick one. The 2 Series Gran Coupé – irritatingly referred to in the advertising as the Grawn Coop –…

Electric Grille: The BMW i4 Concept

If you think BMW hasn’t been serious about electric cars, you haven’t been paying attention. After a long gestation, here’s the first mainstream BMW EV – the BMW i4 Concept. It’s pretty obvious looking at the i4, this about more…
