Join us and BMW in this short series that explores just how connected technology can make your journeys easier than ever. Internet of things? Ambient Intelligence? Fourth Industrial Revolution? From smartphones to home appliances, the devices that we use are becoming smarter and more connected by the day, and our cars are no different. Thankfully, there's no need to develop a deep understanding of these information technology concepts to benefit from the added convenience that BMW is bringing to its vehicles. Join us in this short series as we explore (in simple to understand terms) just how you could stand to benefit from the connected technology that the firm is applying into its vehicles. This first of three articles sees just how your daily commute could be so much easier in a BMW! Making every drive a breeze Living in a fast-paced city like Singapore means it's inevitable that you'll face long and challenging days. Now, your BMW may have been honed to offer sheer driving pleasure, but when tough workdays or long journeys take their toll, it's always nice to have someone to fall back on. Or maybe, you could call upon something to make your commute a bit easier and safer. Enter, BMW's Driving Assistant Plus* (available as a three-month free-of-charge trial, or to subscribe to for one month, one year, three years, or to simply purchase for an unlimited period). The Level 2 automated driving technology can not only maintain a safe distance between your car and the vehicle ahead but can also help you keep your BMW within its lane and will warn you if the speed limit changes. All this means that you and your BMW can not only make easy progress in start/stop traffic but you'll also will be able to take the stress out of travelling on the motorway! Effortless at any destination But stressful commutes are not the only bother when it comes to driving in Singapore. There's also those pesky tight carparks to think about. But when you arrive at your selected destination in a BMW, there's no need to sweat, thanks to the firm's Parking Assistant Professional* (available as a three-month free-of-charge trial, or to subscribe to for one month, one year, three years, or to simply purchase for an unlimited period). This technology allows your BMW to drive itself into and out of tight parking spaces in a partially automated manner, and if you so wish, even allows you to manoeuvre your car into a space via a smartphone so you don't even have to be seated within it. And there's another clever feature to consider: BMW's Manoeuvre Assistant. With this feature, your car can perform up to ten recurring parking manoeuvres, each covering a total distance of up to 200m. Simply save the manoeuvre once and your car now knows how to reverse out of any narrow corridor or space - perfect if the parking provisions at your home or workplace aren't exactly great! Always ready when you are And even when you're busy at work or simply resting at home, BMW's connected technology means access to your car is always at your fingertips. Need to check on the battery capacity of your electric BMW? Or perhaps you've forgotten when the car's next service is due? Fret not, all this information and much more is now easily accessible all through the free-of-charge BMW Remote Services* which you can access via the My BMW app! Link the app to your vehicle and you won't even have to adjust its seats or mirrors even after your kinds or parents have driven it. All your personalised settings will be saved and automatically applied whenever you use your phone to unlock the vehicle. But there's more. With the BMW app, users can pre-cool their vehicle even utilise a remote 3D view and vehicle locator to find it in any parking lot - that means that your car will be getting its cabin ready for you as you prep for a day's worth of activities. How clever is that? Utilise the technology to beat our scorching sun and ensure that you always step into a car full of cool and fresh air!

The year is 1989, the cold war ended, Hershey’s reduced the size of their chocolate bar, Spandex was all the rage and the idea that a single virus could shut down the entire World in almost an instant was nothing more than a figment of one’s wild imagination. 1989 was also the year a young lady made a prophecy, a prophecy we in 2021 now bear witness to as it comes to fruition. A prophecy that says “It’s true you can’t fight it, live by it. The next generation, it’s electric.” While I doubt Miss Debbie Gibson would have imagined her words coming true in such a fashion, Electric Youth does seem to be the perfect tune to describe the automotive world’s current paradigm shift towards electrification, led no doubt in part by a generation who grew up listening to that very song. As the pioneers in bringing electrified vehicles onto our sunny roads, BMW recently held their Electrified Drive event which saw the arrival of BMW’s technological flagship, the iX, and the updated iX3. Both vehicles we were privy to in addition to a Mini Electric and the one that kickstarted it all, the BMW i3. It’s been 8 years since the i3 was first unveiled to an EV-averse world. Whilst things have definitely changed since then, the original i3 still felt fresh after we did what came naturally, sliding down behind the wheel of BMW’s original EV, now in i3s form. Though the i3s’ infotainment and dash readouts now pale in comparison to the latest high-fidelity screens, the interior is still a lovely place to be in and it still drives remarkably well. Allowing us to not only rekindle our joy behind the wheel of BMW’s first-ever zero-emissions vehicle but also provided us with a reference point to see just how much has progressed since 2013. (Hint: A lot!) By sheer luck or perhaps careful planning, we were handed the keys to the original iX3 mere weeks before taking the reins of this brand new iteration, so do stay tuned for our full impressions! Of course, we also had to drive the iX, being BMW’s latest i-car that carries the mantle as BMW’s technological flagship isn’t going to be easy but as we were soon to find out as we felt the power and energy comin’ up, coming on strong, it’s the marque’s techno showcase for many good (and desirable) reasons. More on that in our upcoming review. If you’d like to have a look at these two brand new electrified Bavarians (and remember when you were young), they are currently on display at Gardens by the Bay’s Christmas Wonderland 2021 until 2nd Jan 2022. Remember, the future only belongs to the future itself. And the future is electric youth.
