Brings the speed, but not the pharmacology
Heir Triggers – Audi S4 vs BMW 335i
Can’t stretch to an M3 or RS4? Open both barrels on either Audi’s new supercharged S4 or BMW’s twin-turbo 335i and you’re unlikely to feel under-gunned.

2009 Mini Cabrio review
Like its pricey stablemate, the BMW M3 Convertible, the latest Mini Cooper S drop-top can put a smile on your dial while you get a 200km/h tan.
Review: Infiniti G37
Who do you think you are, Infiniti? That’s a reasonable enough question, seeing as the ‘new’ G37 (born 2007, actually) might be deemed an upstart against its pedigree (if equally aged) BMW 3 Series, Audi A5 and Mercedes C-Class opponents.

IT MAY be overstating the local arrival of BMW’s turbocharged, four-cylinder N20 engine as a ‘new dawn’ for the Munich brand, but its debut in the Z4 roadster took place at Mt Warning in north-eastern NSW.
Wheels review: BMW M5
At 250km/h the big BMW is covering 67.5 metres every second. The 200 metre braking marker flashes by in my peripheral vision as the speed limiter finally softens the mighty twin turbo V8 at an indicated 267km/h.
BMW M5 – track review
Curiously for a drive program conducted exclusively on a race circuit, three BMW staff make asides that the M5 isn’t really a track car. But despite the veiled concern, it’s little wonder the M5 feels at home on a fast circuit.
BMW M3 Pure Edition

LAUNCHED: BMW Z4
Roof now hard, but character is softer.
