They just don't review 'mainstream' cars anymore. For Top Gear to do a review of a BMW it generally needs to have an M badge. They will probably review the new Z4 though.

5th Gear reviews 'mainstream' cars and that's what really distingiushes the content of the 2 programmes.

In fifth gear, 3 of the five presenters can actually drive, and 2 of those can drive as good as Stig... I respect 5th gear a lot, and unlike JC, Tiff is a big fan of the BMW M cars and wotnot. Look up his M5 E39 shananigans, and the new M3 sedan. The man can drive.

and 135i is a hell of a car, no doubt. Big engine, Rear wheel drive, small dimensions in a coupe. Something Alfa fails at - tehy also have small car, big engine but sadly its all FWD, im talking these GTA alfas, not the mega pricey 8C.

That's simply not true.
