All 4 series petrols are turbocharged. In fact I'm not sure if BMW make any N/A petrols at all these days.

[ I quite like the facelift actually and the new grille. What is disappointing is the grammatical error above. That is inexcusable, amateurish and sloppy in a press communication.

No problem - it sounds pretty good too!

No need for ILP, the lights around the front speakers are standard with B&O.

Looks are very subjective of course but I really don't like the look of the 4 series. We had a 2011 330d E92 and trading that in for a 430d was never even on the radar, I think it looks fat and bloated, especially around the rear. I don't particularly like the interior either. The standard...

If you are not too fussy on spec then some dealers might have cars in stock. Our S3 came from Edinburgh Audi who are part of Lomond Motor Group who are in turn part of Lookers. They also have the Glasgow, Stirling and Ayr Audi dealerships and when we were looking in mid June, they had three...

We have lunar silver on our Phantom Black S3 and I really like it. It was actually a result of a botch up by the dealer, the car was in stock at a different branch and all the quotes, emails and negotiation with the salesman said the interior was black. It then turned up and obviously had the...
