Momentous news, folks. The Hydrogen 7 has passed both BMW’s obligatory Product Development Process and homologation under the usual rules and standards in both Germany and the ECE. In short, BMW’s first hydrogen-powered production car is ready for the road. But it’s not clear if it’s actually for sale…

Bloody Germans. While Jaguar takes a painfully public pasting and the British car industry in general heads for an icy, infinite oblivion, the evil Hun goes from strength to strength. Enter BMW’s multi-pronged September salvo of new hardware for the UK - three new models, including the delectable E92 3 Series coupe, a tarted up X3 entry-level SUV and the pimped out M6 cabrio, plus no less than 30 new derivatives…

Feather-weight sports cars à la Lotus, BMW’s M-Sport range of high performance models most definitely are not. Not when the M5 clocks in at a meaty 1,830kg, the outgoing M3 tops 1,500kg and even the new Z4 M only just squeaks in under that figure. Nevertheless, there are limits. Which is why BMW has never previously produced an M7 limo. Historically, it’s been considered simply not poss to build a big Seven that meets the performance and handling criteria to do justice to an ‘M’ badge. But perhaps no longer.

Chris Bangle’s batty BMW designs may not be to everyone’s taste. But Mercedes-Benz is obviously impressed. Because the interior of the latest S-Class is all too familiar…

Or at least, they will in 2006. After reports of a twin-turbo 3 Series comes news of a fleet of new turbo-charged BMWs. We’ve also got the skinny on the firm’s new double-clutch gearbox.

It’s the best selling Seven ever. So says BMW of the current 7 Series. But that hasn’t prevented BMW from putting it under the knife little more than three years after the model made its debut. Of course, it’s also the first, and perhaps still the most controversial, of the Bangle-era Bimmers.
