BMW 760LiFans of the controversial iDrive system in BMW' s big car will be interested to hear that one of the options for 2005 is a rear-seat entertainment system that utilizes a rear iDrive controller and screen in conjunction with a trunk-mounted six-DVD changer. We hope rear-seat passengers can select a movie easier than we can reset the radio station on the front one, but perhaps the rear one is a simpler system to operate. In addition, park distance control is now standard on the V-8-powered models (745i and 745Li) as well as on the V-12-powered 760i and 760Li. Adaptive headlights (that swivel as you steer to illuminate corners) are also standard on all models. A keyless-entry system called Comfort Access is a stand-alone option. It automatically unlocks the doors when the driver approaches. The complicated iDrive system notwithstanding, all four models are a pleasure to drive. === Fans of the controversial iDrive system in BMW' s big car will be interested to hear that one of the options for 2005 is a rear-seat entertainment system that utilizes a rear iDrive controller and screen in conjunction with a trunk-mounted six-DVD changer.

Mini Cooper STwenty-first century technology and 20th-century nostalgia are commingled in the Mini. It revived an old British brand, but BMW owns the company and this tiny coupe is Germanic at heart. It' s solid and capable, and with sport-tuned suspension and wheels as far out to the corners as possible, there' s literally no body roll. The front-end grip of this front-wheel-driver is remarkable. So is the steering, with ample feel and no torque steer. The base 115-horsepower, 1.6-liter four-cylinder makes less of an impression. A car with hottie aspirations needs higher numbers. For 2005, the supercharged version that is standard in the Cooper S has 168 horsepower (a 5-hp boost), and both models have transmission improvements for better acceleration. Minor changes have been made to the exterior to slightly update its styling, and there are also some new interior appearance features and options. === Twenty-first century technology and 20th-century nostalgia are commingled in the Mini.
