Graham Hill Not Inspired By New BMW
Thursday, 26. May 2011
My car review this week is the new BMW 4Series. We will see it in 2012 but I have to say I’m not particularly inspired. I’m a lover of BMW’s but after losing the plot with the X6 they’ve now set their sights on a mini looking version based on the 3 Series. It’s a 5Dr Coupe which I thought might be an exciting proposition but it isn’t a patch on the Mercedes E Class Coupe, Audi A5 4Dr Coupe or the new VW Passat CC which is stunning looking. There will be a two or three rear seat option and may be fitted with the new 3 cylinder petrol engine with fuel consumption as low as 75mpg and CO2 emissions below the congestion charge limit of 100g/km. My advice is save some money and go for the VW and get a much nicer looking car and in GT spec some great features. On the other hand maybe the early pictures haven’t done the car any favours.
