For its official premiere in Singapore, the BMW Individual 7 Series Composition inspired by Steinway & Sons will be presented in two perfectly coordinated colour variants. Both the exterior and the interior design are modelled on the colours of the piano keyboard and its contrast between black and white. At the same time, the paint finish - which comes in a choice of black or white - and upholstery and surface materials are the result of a design and build quality that is unique worldwide and has been developed explicitly for this special edition. Adding an even more exclusive touch, precise highlight details complete the sophisticated appearance.

BMW Individual 7 Series Composition inspired by Steinway & Sons

The unique A-shaped body allows Plantronics to incorporate three microphones. The call button is located at the top, and the voice recognition button is in the middle. Even though these buttons are flush with the overall design, they are fairly easy to press, and are far enough apart that you won't mistake one for the other. This headset is slightly thick, but it is light enough not to be noticed. A small selection of ear gels and a clear plastic ear-loop provides a comfortable fit for most ears.

VP Racing Fuels' Cool Down is designed to compliment your ride's coolant by reducing the surface tension of water by a factor of two, which translates to the formation of smaller vapour bubbles. Large vapour bubbles on the metal surface create an insulating layer, which impedes heat transfer.

On the outside, the car is clearly more dashing than the model it has replaced. Large kidney grilles give an X5-like appearance, while the fog lamps have been raised, just in case you decide to submerge the car two feet underwater.

But can it handle as well as its elder sibling? With a chassis that is not as well-balanced as the Golf GTI's, the Polo GTI does seem a bit suspect in handling when we drove it through the twisty bits. The steering of the Polo GTI as compared to its lesser Polo siblings feels a lot more weighted, giving you decent feedback, but for a car with sporty aspirations, it does seem a bit lacking. Steering the car is easy, with the car responding to directional inputs in a perfunctory manner with nary a hint of enthusiasm. This lack of enthusiasm I am afraid is unbecoming of a hot hatch. Also, with the spirited swerving came the slight body roll which can be a tad unnerving, but to be fair, the Polo GTI managed to fight the initial lean and stayed on course as directed ably. The same can also be said of the car's braking, which can be improved on as it felt 'under servoed', I am not expecting a dentures popping kind of braking, but a little more initial bite on the brakes can't go wrong for this car.
