The Intercooler

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined in the studio by Steve Saxty, who arguably knows more about BMW design than anybody not affiliated with the company. Steve's book, BMW Behind the Scenes, explores the past, present and future of the marque's often beautiful, sometimes baffling designs. Many of its latest efforts, such as the XM SUV, are among the most contentious designs of the modern era. So why did BMW choose to go down such a divisive path and will it continue in the same direction?The best writers, the finest stories and no ads, all on The Intercooler’s beautiful online car magazine.

They also look back at the first half of the season, which looked likely to be another Max Verstappen stat-padding year before rivals McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes caught up with the Red Bull powerhouse.
