Tim Saunders has always been passionate about cars. A former Business & Motoring Editor of the Bournemouth Daily Echo, his first published test report was about a BMW, and was written at the age of 17 -- just weeks after passing his driving test. From that moment, Tim has had a soft spot for BMWs, especially the iconic X5. An Advanced Motorist, Tim has written weekly used car road tests for the Newbury Weekly News, and regularly contributes test reports to the Western Morning News and other newspapers, magazines, and websites in the UK, Ireland and Gibraltar.
