  1. There's been so much going on about how EVs are the future and how EVs are cheaper to run than ICE cars because of the low maintenance cost - technically the only maintenance for an EV would be your tyres, brakes, fluids, battery and wiper blades lol - and how electricity (per km) is cheaper than fuel (per km). Our colleague Desmond takes the BMW X3 and its electric counterpart the iX3, for an apple-to-apple comparison to figure out if it's really cheaper to go electric. Copied the table above from the article just for those who are lazy to click in but it's an interesting read so click here if you can afford the 5 minutes read. Some might also argue there are intangible costs not mentioned in the article e.g. time and inconvenience costs while waiting for your EV to charge up. EV owners will be asking everyone to look at the bigger picture - not so much about cost savings but doing our collective part to reduce emissions and help fight global climate change. The current electric cars in the market are much more expensive than ICE cars and will probably put off most car buyers from switching over (at least for now), but the early adopters will be key to driving technological advancement and improvements. What do you think? Do you see yourself changing to an EV in the next 5 to 10 years?
  2. TL;DR – A Mitsubishi Lancer and a Volkswagen Scirocco were caught on camera speeding along the CTE and overtaking other vehicles using the road shoulder. Unfortunately for one of the two idiots, one of them hit a BMW X3 in the process and went full turtle, causing a 2-hour long jam in its wake. Lancerlution – It’s the term people use to refer to Mitsubishi Lancers trying their best to be EVOs (like this gum gong gia or a Lancer driver) Multiple angles of this incident found itself uploaded on SGRV’s FB page. Watch it all below: VIDEO 1 VIDEO 2 What happened? In the first video you can see the close up of the accident. The cam car is very lucky to have avoided the repercussions of the Lancer and Roc driver’s stupidity. In the second video you can see the build up leading up to the accident + the footage from the first video + some aftermath shots. Online Chatter Is that a fact? Good control but bad luck. I actually did not catch that! ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

    New 2018 BMW X3

    New model. Apparently. Doesn't it look like the old X3? http://www.bmwblog.com/2017/09/13/2017-frankfurt-auto-show/
  4. With the addition of the fully electric iX3, the highly popular BMW X3 model range offers buyers a true power of choice. Since it was first launched in 2003, the BMW X3 has become an important model within the BMW lineup. The first generation BMW X3 was launched at a time where crossovers and SUVs were notably less commonplace than they are now. Sharing the same platform as the 3 Series, the X3 offered drivers a more compact alternative to the X5. Fast forward close to two decades,the X3 has become a quintessential sight on our roads. Rugged appeal Part of the X3's appeal is its go-anywhere capabilities. In 2003, BMW introduced its xDrive all-wheel drive system in both the X3 and the X5. Beyond delivering superior traction and stability on tarmac, this also meant that the X3 could tackle all manner of off-road situations. This made it ideal for drivers who needed a car that could traverse any kind of terrain thrown at it. At the same time, it also ushered in the Sport Activity Vehicle (SAV) era for BMW. While the robust and sizeable X5 was the first SAV from BMW, the X3 definitely made the SAV a mainstay for the brand. Due to its nimble and compact nature, the brand has seen many drivers move from a 3 Series to an X3. And, with each subsequent iteration, the X3 continues to deliver even more daily comfort, practicality and luxury, turning it into a well-rounded car fit for the family. Power of choice Over the years, BMW continued to develop the X3 to deliver even more performance and capability to its customers. Now, customers have even more choices when it comes to the BMW X3. When the all electric iX3 launches some time next year, BMW X3 customers will have a slew of powertrain choices when it comes to the X3 - petrol, petrol-hybrid and electric. Steady going For the large number of drivers, the petrol engine is likely the most 'traditional' choice. It delivers a familiar driving experience, and is suitable regardless of city driving or long distances. This is the X3 variant you will most commonly see on our roads. This is no surprise - the X3 delivers plenty of utility and daily usability, all delivered in an entirely fuss-free manner. City slick For drivers looking to balance eco-consciousness and peace-of-mind accessibility, BMW also offers a plug-in hybrid option with the X3. The PHEV delivers additional fuel efficiency compared to the petrol model. The x3 xDrive30e also delivers ample flexibility - the car can run on full electric mode for up to 50km, and up to a top speed of 135km/h. And, if you have access to a charging point, you can further increase your cost savings over time by recharging the car regularly. Green machine With the upcoming launch of the iX3, drivers will also have an option of a fully-electric BMW SUV. It delivers an additional choice for drivers who have either already made the switch to electrified vehicles, or are primed to make the switch. Of course, going for the iX3 is an even easier choice for individuals who have easy access to charging stations either at home or at their workplace. With the iX3, they now have the option of a family-friendly luxury SUV that also caters to their electromobility lifestyle. What does this mean for BMW? The X3 family delivers drivers the full gamut of choices. And, moving forward, we will likely see such wealth of choices even more readily available across the rest of the BMW lineup, as the brand continues to further electrify its model range. As electrification is the future for the industry, the availability of a fully electric model within the brand's core model lineup speaks to its intentions - to make EVs a mainstay of its product offering moving forward.

  6. The Bavarian automaker has announced the introduction of an M Sports Package and two new engines for the latest X3 crossover, which was first shown in July. From Spring 2011, the new X3 will be offered with an M Sports package that adds some sporty aesthetic touches inside out with revised suspension tuning. The kit consists of an aerodynamics package with unique front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a roof spoiler. Other exterior amenities include roof rails, chrome tailpipes and 19-inch or 20-inch alloy wheels. As an exclusive option in conjunction with the M Sports package, buyers can opt for a Carbon Black metallic paintwork. On the Inside, buyers can expect sports seats with exclusive Pearlpoint fabric/leather upholstery, an M leather-trimmed steering wheel with multifunction buttons incorporating a Cruise Control button as well as door sills with the M logo. Other interior modifications include brushed aluminium interior trim and an M shift lever (only for the X3 xDrive 20d with manual transmission). The M Sports package will be available for all engine versions of the new X3. In addition to the sport kit, BMW also presented two new powerplants for the European market X3. These are the 3.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-six petrol with 258HP and 310 Nm and the 3.0-liter straight-six turbo diesel with 258HP and 560 Nm of peak torque. The petrol model completes the century sprint in 6.9 seconds and hits a top speed of 230 km/h while returning a fuel consumption of 9.0 lt/100 km in the EU test cycle. The new X3 diesel goes from standstill to 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds with a top speed of 230 km/h. At the same time, it sips fuel at 6.0 lt/100 km. Both engine variants of the X3 will go on sale in Europe next Spring.
  7. BMW have released initial specifications of the second generation BMW X3 and the SUV will be officially launched at the upcoming Paris Motor Show this October 2010. The mid-sized BMW SUV keeps its same position in the BMW hierarchy by slotting in neatly between the small hatchback sized X1 and the Range Rover sized X5 SUVs. As usual, it blends in both the new X1 and X5 looks and is a familiar shape with all the latest BMW styling cues especially that new larger, nostrils err... kidney grill on its nose and the Hoffmeister kink at the C-pillars (or D-pillars since its an SUV). It looks slightly better than the previous X3 but it is still not something I would go crazy over. So what is new with the new but very similar X3? It now boasts and extra 78mm in length (now 4648mm). It is slightly narrower, which is surprising (4mm less and now 1855mm) and 14mm taller at 1675mm. It also sports a 15mm longer wheelbase (now 2810). The rear door apertures are larger so that big people have easier access (I don
