Tyre Safety
Continental invited us to a tyre workshop to learn about tyre maintenance and safety – it’s essential reading.

Behind the Wheel
We try the new 2010 X5 in 40d form and find that there’s a lot more to it than just a simple face-lift. Then we get behind the wheel of the F10 535i.

Blood Brothers?
The S1000RR is arguably BMW’s best bike to date so we brought it together with the E93 M3 to see if they share more than just a BMW roundel.

Bird of Paradise
Birds decided to address the ride and handling issues of the current crop of M Sport cars and has created the sublime 335i-based B3-3.5.

A Test of Endurance
After a five-year absence, BMW returned to this year’s Nürburgring 24-hour race with a bang.

What might have been…
We get exclusive behind the scenes access to the E34 M5 Convertible prototype.

Back from the Dead
To celebrate the 70th anniversary of its Mille Miglia win, BMW built a 328 Kamm Coupé from scratch.

The Time Machine
We check out a beautifully restored E21 Alpina B6 2.8 – the only one in the country!

BMW Legends: S62 V8
We look back at what made the E39 M5’s V8 so special.

What’s in your Garage?
A mother and son-owned pair of rare classic Alpinas are under the spotlight this month.

Buying Guide: E92 335i
One of the best all-round BMWs you can buy, and now surprisingly affordable.

A MINI too far?
We try out the new Countryman for size.

In Famous Footsteps
Dan Prosser drives the Col de Turini, where Paddy Hopkirk secured victory in the ’64 Monte Carlo Rally.
