With an increasing amount of interest in the Euro Engine status regulations, we here at Big Motoring World would like to give you the information you need to know when considering your next purchase. "Am I going to be taxed more if my car isn't Euro Engine Status 6?" In short - Yes.

BMW have finally released prices, specs and pictures of the new BMW X2. This is the best look yet since it was spotted wearing camouflage during road tests in Italy. As you can see the car closely resembles the concept X2 seen at Paris last year. Including the BMW badge in the C-Pillar, I'm still not sure how I feel about that. The car will fill the gap between the X1 and X3 to finally complete the line-up. The X2 is not nearly as practical as the smaller and cheaper X1, looking more like...

Mercedes-Benz has the most recognisable logo in the world. The company is known for its creative and clever advertising but took this to a new level when they produced a TV advert that included a number of chickens and no car. Their logo and name appeared 48 seconds into a 52 second slot. Just a glance was enough. Not only did they promote the brand but the subtle message of being the most famous car manufacturer would not have been lost on the viewers. Which is the best Mercedes? Given the...

With the new BMW 8 series coming soon to replace the 6 series coupe, BMW have made the decision to add the marmite of BMW's line up (the BMW 5 series GT) to the 6 series line up. Looking at the car, it's hard to work out what they were thinking. The 6 GT has a 5 series face, the same wheelbase, the same spacious interior and very similar rear end. To top it off, neither the 3 GT or 5 GT were particularly pretty cars, however, the 6 series always was. So what does the new 6 GT bring to the mar...

The BMW 3 Series has been a hit since it was first released as the E21 in 1975 (when it was only available in a 2 door version) to the latest F30 model which you can pretty much have it any way you want, saloon, touring, and even a 3 Series Gran Turismo hatchback. Although the coupes and convertibles may have been rebadged as the 4 Series, they are still the same 3 Series underneath. If you are considering buying new you may want to take a little (a lot) of time to weigh up your different opt...
