Car and Driver Reviews the 2013 Alpina B7

This very well spoken review of the 2013 BMW Alpina B7 speaks for itself.

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.

Interesting: BMW Isetta in Drag

Here we have it, a BMW Isetta Dragster with 730 Horsepower. Actually a supercharged Chevy V8 502 Cubic inch is stuffed into this tiny 1959 Isetta 300 Body with a 2 speed manual transmission and the suspension from the BMW M3. 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.
