Around a dozen parents huddled in the dim hallway outside the courtroom in February, nervously gripping paper tickets. They were glaring at a gray tote bag held by a member of the court staff — the one who’d determine, by lottery, if they made it inside.

Among the petrols, the 1.5-litre three-pot in the 218i is characterful and frugal, with close to 40mpg achievable on longer stints. The 181bhp four-cylinder 220i offers a little more flexibility. And if you want one of the smaller petrol lumps with a bit more zeal, the 242bhp 228i and the 249bhp 230i are punchy, but you’ll spend more time (and money) filling them up. The diesel range is punctuated by the 2.0-litre four-cylinder 218d, 220d and 225d. The mid-rung 184bhp 220d is the best of these: it pulls well, has more than enough grunt for overtaking and won’t drop below…

Sustainable changes often outperform diet fads when it comes to lasting weight loss and overall health. We created this article in conjunction with AI technology, then made sure…

But the fact of the matter is, there have been some winners and losers in our EV market. That’s how you get the recent cancellation of cars like the…

Here comes another disappointment for ChatGPT users. As first reported by Sources’ Alex Heath, OpenAI is yet again delaying its “adult mode” for ChatGPT. A company spokesperson told Heath that “we’re pushing out the launch of adult mode so we can focus on work that is a higher priority for more users right now.”More specifically, OpenAI’s spokesperson said that things like “gains in intelligence, personality improvements, personalization, and making the experience more proactive” were being prioritized instead.

How much can we really know about the potential success of Chinese automotive brands, if they should figure out a way to sell cars in the US? It’s possible that President Trump would allow it if a Chinese manufacturer committed to building a US plant to assemble those cars with American workers. The only certainty is that China has produced more cars than it can sell in its existing markets and wants badly to penetrate the richest automotive market on the planet – the US.
