BMW i3s

The BMW i3s

Price: THB 3,730,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)

 

Showing the way ahead to a new era of mobility, the BMW i3s is recognized as a symbol of driving pleasure, sustainability and intelligent connectivity in the urban traffic environment. The new BMW i3s has a remarkably dynamic character by premium compact electric car standards.

 

The BMW i3s incorporates a number of design elements all of its own that underscores its particularly dynamic character. Both the front and rear aprons are notable for their model-specific, powerfully shaped contours. At the front, the bumper inlay as well as the U-shaped surround encircling it have a black finish. The front apron’s side sections are bordered on their lower edge by accent strips in Frozen Grey that further emphasize the width of the car. The accent in the closed BMW kidney grille is also painted in high-gloss black on the BMW i3s to give the grille a larger and more prominent appearance. The rear apron of the new BMW i3s is likewise composed of individually styled contours. On the new BMW i3s, the roof line accent also sports the same high-gloss black finish as the A-pillars.

 

The BMW i3s comes equipped as standard with sports suspension that includes a 10-millimetre drop in ride height. The additional 40 millimeters of track width compared to the BMW i3 is given added impact by the black wheel arch borders. The BMW i3s is available with exclusive 20-inch light-alloy wheels in double-spoke design that comes in the Bicolor and Jet Black colour variants.

 

This fully electric car (with a capacity of 94 Ah) provides an even sportier interpretation of silent mobility with zero local emissions and features a high-performance 135 kW/184 hp electric motor that generates peak torque of 270 Nm. Just 6.9 seconds is enough to see the BMW i3s burst past 100 km/h (62 mph) on its way to a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph). It returns a combined electric power consumption of 14.3 kWh per 100 kilometers* on the NEDC cycle. Its electric range runs to 280 kilometers (174 miles) based on the NEDC cycle.

BMW M5

The BMW M5

Price: THB 13,339,000 (VAT incl. with BSI Standard Package)

 

The high-performance executive sedan, the BMW M5, comes with the M xDrive all-wheel drive. Unique to the All-New BMW M5, the M xDrive system enables a wonderfully fleet-footed rear-biased set-up by only bringing the front wheels into play when the rear wheels aren’t able to transmit any more power to the road and additional tractive force is required. Even when it is being driven in a particularly sporty manner and unleashing high levels of power, the BMW M5 with M xDrive behaves predictably and can be controlled with ease by the driver, paving the way for an even richer experience of the business sedan’s extraordinary performance capabilities.

 

Providing ample power for the BMW M5 is a 4.4-liter V8 engine with M TwinPower Turbo technology. The engine develops 441 kW/600 hp at 5,600 – 6,700 rpm, while a monumental 750 Nm of torque is placed at the driver’s disposal from as low down as 1,800 rpm and remains there until 5,600 rpm. The car’s impressive performance figures speak for themselves: 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, 0 to 200 km/h in 11.1 seconds, and an electronically-limited top speed of 250 km/h.

 

The driver-focused cockpit of the All-New BMW M5 has an even clearer layout courtesy of the lowered instrument panel with freestanding Control Display, while the projection area of the car’s Head-Up Display has increased in size by around 70 percent.

 

Comes as standard is the 20-inch double-spoke M light alloy wheels. Standard specification for the BMW M5 also features Merino leather and M seats with electric adjustment and M leather steering wheel, as well as state-of-the-art communication technologies – including BMW gesture control and telephony wireless charging.
