BMW New Zealand has stepped up its game in the fully electric sedan market with the introduction of the new i4 eDrive35.

Mr T wants his van back – BMW XM Label Red review
There has been a seemingly endless stream of fun being poked at BMW’s most powerful M-Sport creation, the XM SUV. From its polarising design to whether a PHEV should wear an M-badge.

Xtra-large and Xtravagant – BMW X7 M60i xDrive full review
Big, bold and beasty, are just a few of the words that can sum up the new, ‘refreshed’ X7, but it’s somehow elegant too. BMW’s mammoth 7-seater has a new face and increased technology taking its extravagance to the Xtreme. In what is rapidly becoming an over-congested world, space is becoming […]
Guilt-free decadence – BMW i7 xDrive60 review
The BMW 7-Series has essentially been the German premium automaker’s benchmark luxury nameplate from the moment it first rolled off the production line in ‘77.
