    Aston Martin Rapide vs Maserati Quattroporte vs BMW M5?

    I want to buy a sports saloon that I can use every day, and I narrowed it down to the Aston Martin Rapide, a Maserati Quattroporte and a BMW M5. Money is not really an issue in this case, so I was just wondering which one I should go for and why. I'm leaning towards the Aston or the BMW, but I...

    Driven: 2013 BMW Alpina B7 xDrive

    If you’re a chauffer and your boss wants an Alpina, be happy. It is stupendously fast, this. With 540 horsepower and 538 pound-feet of torque, the Alpina is every bit the sports sedan it purports to be. Power is up from 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque over the standard 750i/Li.

    why is it cheaper to insure a bmw than a honda?

    I got two quotes from progressive, both liability only, not collision, nor comprehensive. The first quote was $692 per year for an 02 BMW 330ci (a really fast coupe I once owned). The second quote was $1,158 per year for a lousy 04 Honda Accord 4 cylinder, 4 door. Why is the honda almost twice...

    BMW Unveils Concept 4-Series

    The 3-Series coupe is dead. Long live the 4-Series. Like the 6-Series, the 4-Series is just a two-door version of an established sedan, with a few not-so-subtle sheetmetal tweaks. Generally speaking, interior finishes, powertrains, and the like are carryovers.

    LA 2012: BMW i3 Concept Coupe

    We first saw BMW’s i3 sub-compact electric car over a year ago. It was a handsome little car, but lacked a certain pizzazz, especially when viewed next to the slinky i8. The introduction of this, the i3 Concept Coupe looks to liven things up considerably. Looks like the rumors we'd heard about a...
