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.

Singapore. June is the perfect month to hit pause on everyday life and press play on a holiday adventure that will reignite your passion for travel. But there are some very important questions you need to answer first! Where do you go? What do you do? And most importantly, who will be your travel companion(s)? After a bit of thought, we made the decision to take to the roads with a few good friends and head out on an exciting journey to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia for the weekend.

As everyone knows, a road trip is a great way to enjoy a holiday with family and friends. The excitement comes not only when you arrive at your destination, but from the journey itself. Kuala Lumpur is the perfect weekend getaway as it’s under 400 km away from Singapore and offers bustling streets, excellent cuisine, and plenty of shopping! The BMW iX, a fully electric Sports Activity Vehicle, is the perfect long-distance companion providing a virtually silent and locally emission-free drive. If you’re planning a drive up North with an electric vehicle (EV), here are some things to consider.

Electric cherry popped

So, to embrace this (unavoidable) future of electric mobility, we rocked on down to electric avenue EV Weekend. Held at The Forum in Resorts World Sentosa, the event is Singapore’s first-ever EV showcase with ten cars on display. Happening from now untill 12th December both physically and virtually, you can either pop over to RWS or visit the brands’ virtual showrooms here.

The event not only showcases the latest EVs under one roof, but also includes information corners on how you can transition from an ICE vehicle to an EV. You can also learn more about Singapore’s upcoming EV infrastructure, and the future of electric mobility in Singapore.

The road to the future is electric, and here’s what we saw when we took a stroll down it:

We Rock Down to Electric Avenue

IN EV Weekend, EV, Electric Vehicles

Ok, catchy title aside, it’s actually Singapore’s first-ever EV Weekend. We check out ten hot electric vehicles, including the latest BMW iX!

Some stylish details on this marvel (sorry) include perfectly tailored M Performance components. Exterior mirror caps hand-made from carbon-fibre add to the car’s athletic look. Plus, they pair well with the M Performance side decals and door sill finishes. The BMW iX3 Legend Edition will also feature high-quality BMW fixed hub caps which create a special focal point on the wheel even when the car is in motion.

Coolcoolcool.

Ok, so why 8 and not 10?

If you’re getting excited though, don’t wait too long because there’ll only be a handful of units available.

Plus, to add to your flurry, Mr Daren Ching, Director of Marketing, BMW Asia points out, “The first-ever BMW iX3 has been very well received in Singapore, with a majority of the stock being spoken for within weeks of its launch in August 2021. With only eight units of this limited edition model coming to the Lion City, customers should register their interest sooner rather than later!”

To sweeten the deal, upon placing a refundable deposit of $500, customers will also receive limited edition Marvel merch, and an Electrified Drive Package which includes a 2D1N staycation package with Parkroyal Collection Pickering, Singapore.

Interested? Then less thinking and more clicking. After all, if you aim at nothing, you hit nothing. #ifyouknowyouknow
