It seems like only yesterday that we were waiting for the new 5-series to be released. The truth is the car has been out nearly three years. Typically, we expect facelifts every four years or so, but now we know that BMW is speeding up the process a little bit. While we can’t quite see […] More »

Small car. Huge engine. It’s such a simple formula, and yet the results are nearly always awesome. The Shelby Cobra comes to mind as the most famous mix, but there are plenty of V8 Miatas that live out that same ethos daily. Now it’s the 1 series’ turn. In a way, this is a perfect fit. […] More »
