Picking up the M4 Competition from BMW’s press centre storage facility on the outskirts of Munich initially feels a bit like going through passport control – licence and ID check before we are finally handed the keys. Once inside, walking through the massive parking tower feels surreal; every single BMW you can imagine is here.

SUVs are all the rage today, but no one told the Dzire that. It continues to be a strong seller. Last year, the compact sedan found 1.57 lakh buyers – that’s more than all its competitors combined. Even more impressive is that this figure puts it ahead of compact SUVs like the Hyundai Venue, Kia

A world exclusive, the story showcased Ford’s new sedan for India, powered by the powerful and responsive 1.6-litre Rocam engine.
