Its like a cut and past of the winners from the last few years.

I like these awards but wouldn't read to much into it.

The twin air would be hopeless in NZ or anywhere with hills, I have seen a German review on the 500 Twin air vs the Diesel and they concluded the Diesel was a better option in every way, Cheaper, faster and more economical due to actually having torque and power.

3-litre to 4-litre - BMW 4.0-litre V8 (M3)

Sweet, another win. That's 4 years in a row. And with the news that the F10 M3 might keep the S65 and just add turbos to make it greener, life is good.
