Alvaro Bautista has undergone successful surgery to remove the pins that were placed in his left leg after his accident in Qatar at the start of the year. The Spaniard broke his leg in a practice crash, and though he only missed one other race before returning at Estoril, the after-effects of the injury troubled him for much of the year.

2013 BMW 6-series Gran Coupe: Think of it as a 5.5-series

It probably happens all the time. A BMW shopper stands frozen with indecision in the middle of a showroom. To his left sits the 5-series sedan. On his right, the 6-series coupe.
