Winter Tires Or 4 Wheel Drive?

First question you may ask is why do we have Skoda Yetis on a BMW website? Because we are going to be watching a video of identical Skoda Yeti's with the same engine compete in a snow challenge.  One of the Yetis is Front Wheel Drive (Like the MINI) with winter tires... The other Yeti has four wheel drive (like xDrive) with standard all seasons tires, they will compete in an acceleration, braking and a grip test to see which of these two Yetis will fair in the snow. Watch the video below or click read more for the results of this test.

RMAuctions give you a chance to own it for between $75,000-100,000. Click read more for a gallery of this 12.4ft Isetta Dragster and one picture of the Stock Isetta.

New Production 4 Series Spyshots

These are 4 new spy shots of the production 2014 BMW 4 Series Coupe under final testing, from these new spyshots it appears that the full LED headlamps won't make it to the production model, perhaps it will make an appearance as an optional package. The new BMW 4 Series is going to be a great looking car, the I am willing to bet that performance won't disappoint either. Check out 3 other pictures after the break.
