    M550i xDrive

    The 2021 BMW 5 Series is official and although we have seen it in all its glory thanks to many leaks, here is the official information we are after.

    BMW made subtle but well thought out changes the styling, with the most dramatic change found in the headlights. Sleeker, more linear LED running lights to define the car’s new eyes, with a clear link to the 3 Series. BMW’s efforts to grow the kidney grille also apply here, with new longer and wider pieces, along with a revised front fascia on M-Sport models. The taillights are also tweaked with new L-shaped signature inlays to match the headlights and slim black trim surrounding them.

    Inside you will not notice any big changes but it will come with the latest iDrive 7 infotainment and an upgraded 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster as standard.

    BMW South Africa has confirmed to us that we will be getting the 520d, 530i and for the first time the M550i xDrive.

    The 520d packs a 2.0-litre four-cylinder in-line diesel engine with mild-hybrid technology delivering 188 hp (140 kW) and 400 Nm of torque. This is good for a run to 100 km/h in 7.2 seconds.

    The 530i packs a 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine with mild-hybrid technology delivering 248 hp (185 kW) and 350 Nm of torque. This is good for a run to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds.

    The range-topping (excluding M5) is the M550i xDrive which packs a mighty 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 delivering 523 hp (390 kW) and 750 Nm of torque. You will hit 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds and run to a limited top speed of 250 km/h.

    The F90 BMW M5 will also receive a facelift and we have confirmation that BMW SA will only be bringing in the Competition variant.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Welcome the Mercedes-AMG EQE 43 4MATIC to SA 🇿🇦

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
