2025 BMW M4 Summary

To say the BMW M4 CS is a hot ticket in Australia is something of an understatement.

Consider this. There is an even more expensive one, the M4 CS Edition VR46 – at a cool $346,900 – and it sold out in less than an hour. Now, granted, Australia only got four examples, but still, demand was running hot.

That car makes this one, the regular M4 CS, seem like an absolute steal. It's only $254,900 (yes, the word 'only' is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence), and it shares the same upgrades, and makes the same monstrous power, as the VR46 – for Valentino Rossi’s 46th birthday – only it does it for around $100K less.

See? A bargain. At least, that's how I'd be justifying it to myself if I had a quarter of a million burning a hole in my pocket.

So, this or a Porsche 911? Read on.

2024 Ford Mustang Mach-E Summary

No brand courted controversy more than Ford when it stuck the legendary Mustang badge on an electric mid-size SUV.

Now finally here in Australia after a significant wait, the Mach-E is the Blue Oval’s first step into fully electric territory.

The question we’re answering for this launch review is whether it’s too little too late. Now the Mach-E’s primary rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6 and Tesla Model Y are established players in Australia, is the Mach-E yesterday’s news, or is it something different in the EV space? Something worthy of the Mustang badge?

Let’s find out.
