6 July 2021 The new, second-generation BMW 2 Series Coupé has been unwrapped ahead of a debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and a market launch in early 2022. Retaining rear-wheel drive as standard and a cab-rear silhouette, the new two-door model is pitched at “customers at the sporty end of the driving system seeking an emotionally rich driving experience”. From launch, it will be offered in three guises: the petrol 220i, with a 2.0-litre turbo four sending 181bhp and 221lb ft to th...

There are a few reasons why the automatic is a better option, none of them satisfying. Following several teaser images and an embarrassing leak, the next-generation 2 Series is finally here.

Dismissed by some critics as being a ‘hairdresser’s car,’ the Audi TT is actually not the most popular vehicle among them. Moreover, this story isn’t about a lower-spec model, but the hot TT RS version, a true creator of smiles whose brute force you are about to experience on video.

Let’s start by acknowledging that the Porsche Taycan doesn’t need an aero kit for everyday use, and the same can be said about any four-door EV tasked with being a family car first and something that’s fast and fun to drive second.

9 June 2021 6:51 pm / 0 comments The G20 BMW 3 Series range in Malaysia is rather diverse, and short of the G80 M3, all of them are locally assembled, including the M340i xDrive. It is the first ever BMW M Performance model to be CKD, and the current SST-exempt price tag is RM402,354 (until December 31, 2021). Without the SST exemption, the sports sedan will cost you RM422,800. While it may not look like much on the outside, the M340i is very much a weapon. It packs the automaker’s vene...
