The present and future of motoring was on display with the introduction of new models presented by BMW Middle East.
Stealing the limelight was the BMW i8 sports car. The i8’s powertrain is split between its two axles, with an electric motor and direct-drive transmission at the front axle and a petrol engine and transaxle at the rear.
With this revolutionary concept, aesthetic appeal and aerodynamically optimised body design, the 2+2-seater will pave the way for an engaging, dynamic and futuristic take on BMW’s hallmark driving pleasure, when its launched in Q2 2014, its makers say.
The BMW 760Li M V12 Bi-Turbo also made its Middle East debut and is aiming to enhance the appeal of the 7 Series model. It has been created exclusively for the Middle East region and is the first 7 Series ever to wear the high performance M badge and be available with unique M design, colour and trim features.
BMW also offered a preview of the future of the BMW X family in the form of the new BMW Concept X4. It blends the BMW X model with the genes of a BMW Coupé. Building on the success story of the BMW X6, the new Sports Activity Coupé concept is poised to establish a new vehicle class when it’s launched in Q3 2014.
The third generation of the BMW X5 was also on display. It is currently on sale across the Middle East and includes many new features.
The 4 Series Coupé has a stretched coupé silhouette and is considerably lower to the road than the 3 Series Coupé giving the car an even sportier look.
Also on show was the BMW 3 Series Sedan, the recently launched BMW 3 Series Gran Turismo, BMW M135i, BMW M5 Sedan, BMW M6 Gran Coupé and the sporty BMW Z4.
