  • 2013 BMW M6

    The 2013 BMW M5 and M6 Coupe and Convertible are, unquestionably, very good cars. It appears, however, they are fitted with faulty oil pumps--which may fail so catastrophically and suddenly as to result in "severe engine damage" due to a complete loss of oil pressure. Accordingly, BMW has decided to stop all deliveries of the cars and to advise owners not to drive them in the interim. That's not good. It's also not something that appears to have a quick and ready fix. One owner in the thread documenting the issue at Bimmerpost says he was told not to drive his car, the dealership would come...

Now Audi has confirmed its intention to offer an ‘e-tron’ version of each of its models by 2020. In this case e-tron refers to all cars that can cover substantial distances on electric power alone.
