BMW 7 Series Facelift includes new 750d xDrive – but not for the UK

BMW 7 Series Facelift The BMW 7 Series has been given a facelift with new technology, cosmetic tweaks and a new range-topping diesel – the 750d xDrive.

But perhaps the most interesting oily change is a change we don’t look likely to get in the UK – the addition of the 750d xDrive.

Park into the future in Los Angeles!

Parking is the lifeblood that keeps Los Angeles alive and its citizens moving -- and once they finish moving, they must find a place to stop. We define our relationships through parking. We memorize a byzantine code of 3R permits, metered parking, street sweeping times, two-hour-parking-8 a.m.-to-8 p.m.-except-Sundays, loading zones, taxi zones, fire lanes, bus lanes.

Lexus IS 300h promises unrivalled ownership costs

The new Lexus IS - launched at Detroit in January and costing from £26,495 for the IS 250 in the UK – actually offers ownership costs that eclipse diesel offerings from the likes of Jaguar, BMW, Audi and Mercedes, say Lexus. Despite the logical assumption that the complex hybrid powerplant in the IS 300h would cost more to maintain, Lexus say the opposite is true. Because it has no clutch and the starter motor and alternator are integrated they require no servicing or replacement and Lexus has fitted a timing chain instead of a timing belt, so it won’t need regular replacement either.
