The colums are hilarious (especially for English readers), but i can't help thinking it's written by an Englishmen and concerns a German product. Given the history of them both the conclusion of the article is obvious.
Generaly he states that all BMW's are crap (see the other articles at the and) since Bangle...and i think BMW deserves more respect than this.

Perhaps it's true in the UK, but not in the Netherlands.

He does NOT love British cars! He has some good words for some Aston's and maybe an odd Lotus, bot most British cars (including some AM's AND other top-of-the-range makes) are dead meat when it's up to Clarkson...

...and Jags and TVR's and Bentleys and Land Rovers.

I think 'some good words' is an understatement, he knows quite well how to put it.

Don't get me wrong, Jeremy makes Top Gear fun and all his other efforts have a high entertainment value. In this case i found it a little too easy.
