BMW Roadshow by Auto Bavaria at BSC 14-17 Apr

 I just cane back form Bangsar Shopping Centre (BSC). Auto Bavaria displayed 5 BMWs and 2 Mini.  It consists of recently launched F25 BMW X3 Diesel, X1 Diesel, 320i Coupe, 528i, 325i Sport, Mini Cooper S and recently launched MINI Countryman.  The promotions includes 0.88% Interest rate by BMW Capital, discounts on BMW Merchandise etc...

MY top 2 FAVORITE BMW is the Latest (Just launched Mid-March 2011) F25 BMW X3 Xdrive20 diesel.  RM366,000 (RM348,000+18,000 Comfort package which consists of Panoramic Sunroof, Automatic tailgate, comfort access system..  Why?  I like the HUGE Boot, 40:20:40 split fold rear seats, Economical (Claimed 5.6ltr/100km) yet torquey (380Nm@1750rpm) diesel. 0-100km/h in 8.5 secs.  Very good for a All-wheel-drive SUV.  It also mated with 8 speed automatic with Steptronic.  The 2nd favourite is the BMW 320d Performance Edition, @ RM261,800 it's RM100k cheaper than the latest X3.  Sadly, it's not on display at the roadshow.  Wish I have the money...

Well there's a saying a picture's worth 1000 words...  Here are 70+ photos taken by yours truly (Jeff Lim).  Enjoy:

Any recommended Sales exec.  There's an outstanding one.  He's a Chinese Looking Malay.  I don't remember his name as I misplaced his card but he's from Auto Bavaria Segambut  branch.  He used to work for Lexus Malaysia for 5 years and Audi for 1 year before joining Auto Bavaria.  That's all folks, thanks for having the time and patience to read this blog entry...
