So we finally get our hands on the all-new BMW Z4, if only because we now have friends within BMW. We suspect our tester, with 12000 km on the clock already, is really a 2009 rental model, but for the purposes of this preview we’ll refer to it as a 2010, to avoid appearing outdated. Remarkably, the car looks to be in perfect shape, which can’t be said for most test vehicles we get from Infiniti. Maybe the German firm is now concentrating on durability more than the Japanese themselves?
AC Schnitzer has decided to tune up the BMW X1 with some added power and visual upgrades. They have just released the upgrade only on the diesel engine at the moment, but will be released soon for the petrol version as well.

The Supersports Convertible, with its all-wheel drive system and improved transmission, reaches 100km/h in just 4.2 seconds and has a top speed of 325 km/h.
As is common knowledge by now, the 2010 Nissan Patrol was launched in Dubai on February 15, at an event on an offroad course within the Jebel Ali Shooting Club.

With all the recalls Toyota have been doing, they were in the news for a different reason recently, the launch of the Toyota Avalon 2011 model. Bearing the same engine under the bonnet, the re-design has a slight makeover on the exterior. The interior had more changes done which is much improved from the previous model.
