Materials are not of Audi-level, as expected of course. But they do feel robust enough to last for many years to come. To some extent, it is less stressful and therefore more enjoyable to use practical interiors like these as a daily runabout, simply because you don’t have to concern yourself with having an immaculate interior.

How do I specify the interior?

It’s true that Kuala Lumpur is filled with lots of affordable top-class eateries, but this time around I wanted to venture slightly out of KL — to avoid the crowd, what else? - for some Western food.Hence, Me’nate Steak House in Shah Alam was my chosen destination this time around. Located at Vista Alam, Jalan Ikhtisas, 40000 Shah Alam, Malaysia, Me’nate Steak House, as its name suggests, specializes in steak. A Halal establishment, they have a variety of beef cuts available for you to choose from but at the same time also serve lamb, chicken and fish. Just in February this year, they were awarded ‘Emerging Brands Award (F&B)’ at The BrandLaureate SMEs Best Brands Award 2017-2018.

In the second round of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) 2018, BMW will be fielding two BMW M8 GTEs. These racing cars already demonstrated their potential at the season opener in Spa-Francorchamps, Belgium, and the US-American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. This will now be followed by the debut of the production model; drive and suspension will be based as close as possible to the M8 GTE. On that note, motor sport expertise is concentrated in particular in the new M850i xDrive Coupe, which BMW promises offers outstanding dynamic handling characteristics; it gets with it a new V8 engine, intelligent four-wheel drive, controlled rear axle differential lock, Integral Active Steering, adaptive M suspension technology Professional featuring Active Roll Stabilization and 20-inch light alloy wheels boasting high-performance tyres. “There isn’t a better setting for the world premiere of the new BMW 8 Series Coupe than the 24-hour race at Le Mans,” says Klaus Fröhlich, board member of the BMW AG, Development. “The race is a pure demonstration of passion, dynamics and long-distance capability. These characteristics define our new sports car in a special way.”

Hence it is a lovely surprise to see a youthful model from Sweden appear here. In theory this is the product Volvo badly needed to reach out to the younger crowd, and at a time where the Germans are covering every segment they possibly could, the direction Volvo took is definitely the right one; although some might opine they’re a little late to the party.
