German Rivalry: A Photo Comparo Between the Audi RS5, BMW M3 & MB C63 AMG

Audi. BMW. Mercedes-Benz. Three German companies associated with making poor man’s Porsches.
Audi started in the 80s with the Quattro super-rallye car, which was produced until 1991. But to this day, Audi has made an incredible name for themselves with their line of S and RS cars. BMW became very well known for its M3, or [...]

[Audio] RawAutos on Motor Trend Radio

On January 23, 2010 I was on Motor Trend Radio with Bob Long to talk about the concluded Detroit Auto Show, also called the 2010 North American International Auto Show. I spoke about the new releases from BMW, Audi, Ford, Volkswagen, Buick, Cadillac among others. You can listen to my appearance below, or you can [...]

Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid X6

Back at the LA International Auto Show, I told you about taking the new ActiveHybrid 7 for a nice, but unfortunately, short drive around Los Angeles. Part of the same short test driving sessions, I had the chance to drive around ActiveHybrid X6 as well. Although, with the X6, I had a little bit more [...]

Quick Drive: BMW ActiveHybrid7

While I was out in the city of Angels for the 2009 LA Auto Show, I took a hot spin in BMW’s new ActiveHybrid 7-Series sedan.
Before I go any further, though, I must tell you…I don’t like hybrid cars very much. I’ve never been a big fan of them because of the politics, big goose [...]

The Updates: BMW 3-Series LCI

With information about the updated 3-Series coupe and convertible comes new upgrades. Most see this as a design refresh, but there are some very appealing things just beneath the surface. Just to highlight the exterior enhancements that are easy to see; the front, lower fascia is now presented with subtle winglets on the air-dam, but [...]

[Pictures & Video] E92 M3 GTS: An M3 CSL or GTR Successor?

So with BMW bringing out the new E92 M3 GTS, I thought to myself, “Well, here’s the closest thing to a CSL we’ll see from BMW for the current M3.” But then I started thinking, “Could this actually be closer to that of the E46 M3 GTR?”

The GTR was made in such limited numbers that [...]

[Pictures & Video] BMW M3 GTS coming to a street near you!

As I talked about last week, BMW had been seen working on what seemed to be a successor to the E46 M3 CSL. Now, while a lot of people believed BMW when they said they weren’t doing anything about a new car, I didn’t. The GTS is part track car, part attention getter.

The orange paint [...]

Matt Farah compares three German SUVs

Matt Farah of The Smoking Tire, has decided to go car shopping at his local Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz dealers. Instead of going as Matt the famous automotive personality, he went as Matt, some random ass guy looking to buy a new car… He’s doing something that I used to do quite a bit with [...]

[Pictures] BMW M3 CSL to return?!

This is something I talked about when I was writing for BMW Blog. And then BMW came out and said that they weren’t going to make a CSL version of the E92 M3, even though there had been spy shots of it running around the Nürburgring. While others believed BMW, I knew that they had [...]

GTR vs The World

The Nissan GTR vs The World
I’ve been reading a lot of magazines lately that have been pitting the Nissan GTR against everything and its cousin. Of course the true main rivals to the GTR were meant to be the Corvette Z06 and the Porsche 911 Turbo. Thus far the GTR has proved to be more [...]

Test Drive: BMW 135i

Test Drive: BMW 135i

The BMW 1-Series is intended to be a throwback to decades before now. It is meant to resurrect the beauty and grace of the old 2002. Well, I got the chance to drive it thanks to Gary Morgan and Schaeffer BMW. I drove a black/coral red 135i Sport. The car looks beautiful [...]

Test Drive: BMW E92 M3

BMW E92 M3. It’s a name that already makes most people sweat just thinking of the capabilities. The car is the little brother to the V10 M5 and M6. With two less cylinders and one less liter than the M5/M6 the new M3 still feels just as fast if not faster. The 4.0L V8 making [...]

Test Drive: 2008 Cadillac CTS: A Bimmer Beater?

Test Drive: 2008 Cadillac CTS: A Bimmer Beater?
Cadillac has recently released its new successor to the CTS name, and let me say that it is a very good looking car. The grill especially goes fantastic with Cadillacs new design theme. That theme is to help the company keep its hold on a bold [...]
