'BMW' and 'station wagons' are two terms you don't often see together here in Singapore. Elsewhere in the world, especially in Europe, the Touring body style is far more common. But in the same year, BMW launched two very appetising models, the M3 Touring and the 330i Touring.

Some four decades ago, BMW Motorrad established the touring-enduro segment with the R 80 G/S. Fast forward to today and we find an almost completely new design for the R 1300 GS which shaves 12kg off its predecessor.

The BMW M2 is the smallest, least expensive M car you can lay your hands on today. And this Zanvoort blue one is also the sequel to the best-selling M car ever in history. Yes, more than 60,000 individuals snapped up the old M2, so this new kid has some big shoes to fill. The smallest, lightest, cheapest, least powerful M car has now got bigger, heavier, and considerably more powerful. More power in a compact car sounds like a brilliant recipe on paper, right? Straight to business

Much like cars such as the Volkswagen Golf, Porsche 911 and Mercedes S-Class, the BMW 3 Series has cemented itself as the standard by which all of its peers are measured. And those peers nigh on always come off worse. But for how much longer? The 3 Series faces a not completely certain future as electrification takes an ever-bigger grip on its heritage. Do you want a fully electric 3? It’s currently called a BMW i4. So, best to savour this 7th-generation ‘G20’ BMW 3 Series for as much as you can, just in case. And that’s exactly what I did when BMW invited me for one of their driving challenges.

Road Tripping: Why The BMW 3 Series Is Still Revered By Enthusiasts Today

The 3 Series is BMW’s best-selling car, and arguably one of the most prominent automotive pillars.


The 2023 M2 is arguably BMW’s best new car on the market today. It’s quick, balanced, communicative, and still a thoughtful daily driver. All of the sugar, spice, and everything nice things you’d expect from a small car wearing the M badge. But here's the million-dollar question - can it conquer the track? You see, these M cars were born for the track, it’s in their blood (M standing for Motorsport, after all). Does this M2 live up to its ancestry, or is it just another posh toy with a “fancy” badge?

One of BMW’s greatest M cars gets even better.


BMW recently invited me to Buriram to attend the Asia Driving Challenge 2023. It was an action-packed day filled with non-stop automotive joy, being able to experience a myriad of BMW cars on and off track. However, one particular station stood out to me, so unorthodox that it was frankly genius. I’m of course referring to the Dirt Gymkhana station featuring the BMW iX.

Greetings, fellow speed enthusiasts. Let me paint for you a vivid picture of an experience that transcends the ordinary, where BMW's finest machines come alive in a symphony of power and elegance. Now, I know that the mention of Buriram (which is in Thailand, for those not in the know) might conjure images of a remote haven, far removed from bustling urban life, and you'd be quite right. While merely around 400 km away from Bangkok, this tranquil gem holds an air of isolation that seems to transport you to another realm. This small town holds a rich historical tapestry through its captivating sandstone temples, a far cry from the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities.

With the latest 5 Series being unveiled recently, we were secretly expecting BMW M to come along not too long thereafter with their hotted up M5. And BOY didn't they disappoint, because word from the good folks at M is that there will be an M5 Touring alongside its sedan sibling, both of which are under development. Just like its sedan sibling, the M5 Touring will feature a completely new partially electrified drivetrain to meet emissions compliance. This is, of course, a stepping stone toward complete electrification.
