BMW has recalled 1.3m 5 Series and 6 Series cars amid fears they could catch fire. The recall affects 109,000 cars in the UK, and is because of a faulty battery cable cover, which could cause a fire.There’s very little chance of that happening – very little – but the risk was deemed serious enough to warrant an enormous recall.
Is this the start of the revolution? The first major Chinese model is about to go on sale over here – the Great Wall Steed, a pick-up will become Britain’s cheapest double cab pick-up at £13,998 (ex-VAT), which is certainly an attractive price, at around £3,000 less than competitors.
