BMW M6 20120 – Spy shots

BMW M6 2012 Spied near the Nurburgring We’ve had plenty of spy shots of the next generation BMW 6 Series floating around for what seems almost as long as the old 6 Series has been around.

Bentley's posh leather child seat

Bentley has launched a new collection of accessories to compliment its cars, all of which apparently highlight the company’s 'design and craftsmanship skills'.
