For a few years now, the Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk has been one of the most accelerative SUVs on the market, capable of speeds that truly boggle the mind. Surely a BMW X4 M Competition can’t keep up? Cars magazine in South Africa recently lined up the duo for a pair of drag races down […]

The second-generation BMW 7 Series (E32) consolidated the nameplate’s position as a worthy rival for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

What we have here is an interesting but overall rather unfair comparison test between a BMW X7 M50i, a Mercedes GLS 400d and a dual-motor Tesla Model X. Well that just doesn’t make any sense, does it? It’s unfair because the BMW is equipped with a 530 PS (523 HP) 4.4-liter twin turbo V8 unit, […]
