BMW 520i Sport

Powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder TwinPower Turbo under its hood, the BMW 520i Sport sedan delivers 184 horses and 290Nm of torque – accessed by the driver through an eight-speed automatic with Steptronic. The vehicle features a new exterior design, highlighted by 19-inch light alloy V-spoke wheels with mixed run-flat tires.

It also sports Dakota leather upholstery, automatic dual-zone air-conditioning with extended contents, a smoker’s package, sport seats, and electric seat adjustment for the driver and front passenger (with memory function for driver’s seat). The system bears a BMW iDrive System, Apple CarPlay, a hi-fidelity speaker system, ambient lighting, electric sunblind for the rear window, and manual rolling sunblinds for rear side windows. The vehicle is priced at P4.29 million.

BMW X3 xDrive20d Business

Priced at P3.99 million, the BMW X3 xDrive20d business also boasts a refreshed exterior trim and design elements. Its power plant is a four-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo putting out 190ps and 400Nm, mated to a eight-speed Steptronic transmission with gearshift paddles.

 

As with the 520i Sport, it is fitted with run-flat tires with indicator fitted to 19-inch light alloy wheels. This X3 gets LED headlights with extended contents, LED fog lights, Park Distance Control (PDC) on the front and rear, and other features.

Vernasca leather is used within, and BMW imbues the X3 with ambient lighting, electric seat adjustment for front seats (with memory function for driver’s seat). There’s also a storage compartment package, along with Apple CarPlay, BMW iDrive, a through-loading system, smoker’s package, and automatic three-zone-air conditioning. The rear side windows get mechanical sunblinds.

BMW Z4 M40i Frozen Edition

 The undeniable star of the three-model unboxing is a limited release of the BMW Z4 roadster. The so-called Frozen Edition will have only five example in the Philippines.

Each unit features Frozen Grey II paintwork from BMW Individual. The 3.0-liter BMW TwinPower Turbo six-cylinder gasoline engine that powers it has been upgraaded with 47 more horses (387hp) than the usual Z4 M40i.

Inside, the Frozen Edition gets Vernasca Magma Red décor stitching, black upholstery, interior trim finishers Aluminium Tetragon, an instrument panel in Sensatec – to go with M Sport seats for the driver and passenger. It boasts electric seat adjustment with memory function, lumbar support for driver and front passenger, M seat belts, floor mats in velour, automatic dual-zone air-conditioning extended. There’s a BMW iDrive System, Apple CarPlay, and a Harman Kardon surround sound system.

The BMW Z4 M40i Frozen Edition is priced at P5.99 million.

All these vehicles are covered by a now-standard five-year/200,000-kilometer warranty, which covers all mechanical and electrical components, but does not cover preventive maintenance or wear-and-tear items. BMW says that “items and components covered by the warranty are always replaced by original BMW parts.”

Declared Yu, “We believe that our five-year warranty across our lineup is the strongest of its kind for premium vehicles.”
