ROAD TEST: 440i Grand Coupe.

5 minute read: I'm not going to sugar coat this. I was disappointed when I took delivery of this 440i GranCoupe. I was simply expecting a Coupe. Trying to control and understand my disappointment I spent a while contemplating that perhaps my disappointment says more about me than it does the car....

DEALER REVIEW: Specialist Cars Luton

Digital transformation. One of the latest buzz words in our aggressively changing world. Think Uber, Tesla or AirB&B. Three huge disrupters in their relevant industries. But what does this mean for our traditional and beloved brands? Well, I’m sorry to say that they won’t all make it through....

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: The Simple Art of Car Buying

4 minute read: “What a waste of money”. “Overpriced and will deprecate the second it leaves the showroom”. “35 grand for a Z3M? Whatever!”. “I’ll save my money and go for a Focus”. Sound familiar? You can find many a forum thread slating the “stealers” for “ridiculously priced” “old BMWs”. However,...

DEALER REVIEW: Hollybrook Sports Cars

REVIEW: The King is Dead.

8 minute read: A manual, Sapphire Black coupe. Or in other words, The King. “Would I like to test an M2?” Well, yes. And there’s me desperately hoping for the The King. What turns up? A Long Beach Blue M-DCT – a car less likely to blend in than Slavica Ecclestone at a convention for short people. However,...

BADLY BOOTED BIMMERS: 5 BMWs spoilt by bad alloys

3 minute read: BMW have a reputation for designing wheels that suit their models perfectly. However, there have been a few duds. Here are 5 (subjective) examples of OEM failures. 1: Style 176 Commonly found on the E65 7 series from the Bangle era. They are just too busy and wanting to be wire...

1M RESTORATION: Too Young to Die

This week I received a phone call asking if I wanted first refusal on a damaged BMW 1M. Yes, that's right – the model that Clarkson raved about, never depreciated and is as rare as hens teeth. Obviously being an avid BMW fan, this car is firmly on the 'allowed list'. It's was one...

£15k BUDGET: Which would you choose?

BMW i3: Electric Shock Therapy

7 minute read: Here at AnyM, as our name would suggest, we love any M car. But we are also big fans of the BMW brand so when we were approached by Specialist Cars in Stevenage to spend 24hrs with an i3 as part of the promotion for their Electric Week, of course we said ‘Yes’. We have petrol running...

BMW M2: The wait is finally over………or is it?

The BMW media machine has been in overdrive of late and unless you’ve had your head in the ground you’ll know its because the brand new M2 has been launched. I write this the morning after the launch party at Specialist Cars in Stevenage. The fog of the free champagne and canapés has lifted and I’ve...

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: The Man with the Golden E23

I have known Rob Smith, the owner of this wonderful 1977 E23 730, a number of years, having both graced the shop floor of our local Halfords in our early 20s. At the time I had a Honda Accord Type R and Rob had a Land Rover Defender. As the years have rolled on we have both progressed into BMWs. Rob...

DUNCAN SMART: Brands Hatch and Goodwood FOS

We head into Druids sideways, fast and very much sideways like we are on ice sideways, but then off the power dab of opposite lock back on the power and we catapult down the hill towards Graham Hill bend.

I recently wrote an article using agoraphobia as an analogy to help describe my disappointment in people squirreling their cars away. But the more I get involved in club life, the more I think it’s a progressive disorder… and I might actually be showing symptoms. It’s that time of year again when...

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: 99 Problems but a V8 one

Ok so I have to declare a couple of things before I start this. Firstly, I have a huge soft spot for the E31 8 Series and the E39 BMW M5. In fact I have such a soft spot of the E39 M5 that the one I’m writing about is in fact my car! That said I will remain impartial but this is not an article comparing...

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: i8 so sure

I don’t know about you but I always imagined eco cars would be born from some sort of comic-book fusion of scientific and mechanical brilliance. And of course, they’d make fossil fuels instantly obsolete. Instead, over the past few years we’ve been fed a load of marketing hype about fuel economy...

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: Garage Agoraphobia

As classic and modern classic car prices continue to defy logic we seem to have become fixated by the number of previous owners and mileage.

What would you do if someone lent you an F10 M5? That was the question I asked my friends, family, cats, alpacas (yes alpacas) and just about anyone who would listen to me. Something I’d started in jest had actually turned into something feasible and to my surprise (some of) the answers were really...

SUNDAY SUPPLEMENT: Dion Price on his love of M

Hi my name is Dion and I am an addict. An addiction more desirable than booze and costly than class A drugs, BMW M cars are my weakness. As I type, three of Bavaria’s finest chariots sit in my garage and on my drive and the only reason there isn’t a 4th M car in the fleet is that I have run...

REVIEW: 1000 miles in an F13 640d M Sport

You know that excitement the night before you collect a new car? The almost nervous feeling that frustratingly fades the older you get. It seemed so easy back then. My most memorable upgrade was trading my Nova SR for a concourse Arctic Silver E36 M3. I couldn’t sleep for weeks before the big day! Well...
