blogentry-133713-0-67460100-1549878275_thumb.jpgBMW’s Research and Development boss Klaus Frolich says that there’s no need for BMW to build an even more luxurious 7 Series.

The so-called 9 Series, which is supposed to sit above the current X7, 7 and 8 Series cars, is targeted at the ultra-rich and will provide BMW with a direct rival for the Mercedes-Maybach S600.

 

However, this might just be a rumor afterall.

 

“I don’t think you need a 9-Series. In this segment, you need three cars – an X car, a saloon and an emotional sporty car – and we have them: the X7, 7 Series and 8 Series. In fact, some competitors are already reducing the number of cars in this segment because volumes are so low.” said Frolich to U.K. publication Autocar.

  • Snowy Singapore: How would Singapore weather snowfall?

    Earlier today, it rained so heavily that when looking out the pantry windows at lunch, it almost felt as if I was witnessing snow falling. It’s both an intriguing yet also slightly scary thought – the fantasy of snowflakes descending upon Singapore. Just imagine the Singapore River frozen over, with the foreground of MBS covered over with a blanket of snow. While the image of our tropical city-state cloaked in a delicate layer of white first evoked images of enchantment, it immediately

    Journey to the West: First Steps in Southwestern China, Pt. 3

    Note: This is the third instalment of a series covering my trip to southwestern China. Read Pt. 1 and Pt. 2 here. CHENGDU Day 7: We savoured one last morning view of the Chongqing skyline from our rooms before heading to Shapingba Railway Station for our ride to Chengdu. Because we had quite a bit of luggage, we split into pairs upon our arrival and took different taxis to our accommodation. When Mum and I got there, my brother was waiting alone. Apparently, upon reachi

    Your next action film recommendation: Battle Los Angeles

    I’ve always held a keen interest in the armies of the world, the wars that raged, and the weapons used. Therefore, I usually appreciate a movie (preferably an action film) if there’s an army element and lots and lots of bullets involved. Well, Battle Los Angeles (2011) doesn’t disappoint. With explosive battles and intense drama, you find yourself rooting for a group of resilient Marines tasked with defending Los Angeles from an alien invasion force. And yes, it’s on Netflix (for now), and

    How are we already in June?

    During lunch with my mother a couple of weeks back over yong tau foo, I was asked about my opinion on the latest NDP song. And of course, as expected of any chronically insular millennial, my reaction was: “Huh? There’s a new NDP song?” But of course there is. And I say this not to disparage the wonderful songwriters and musicians that provide an anthem to remember the nation’s birthday by annually, but to knock into my own mind the harsh reality: We’re already in mid-June.  It fe
