A unique kind of in-car gaming will be made available for the first time in the new BMW 5 Series thanks to a partnership between the BMW Group and the game platform AirConsole. While the car is still, the driver and passengers can spend the time by playing ‘casual games’.

N-Dream AG is a Zurich-based firm that is revolutionising the video game business and is the creator of AirConsole. AirConsole is driving the advancement of casual gaming in automobiles in collaboration with BMW.

The BMW XM is what we would call a somewhat divisive product because it is both the heaviest and most powerful BMW production model in history.

Despite its size and weight, one must respect the level of performance that this enormous SUV offers. The numbers published by the automaker may really be underestimated, as evidenced by a recent test run on the dynamometer. This is something BMW has a reputation for in recent years.

Apart from the quality and image of the product, owners of premium models also expect their experience to be equally premium… especially considering that they pay a lot for their vehicle. The premium brands spare no effort to ensure that the ownership experience is a premium one and in the case of BMW Group Malaysia, there are also initiatives to go further.

To enhance the ownership experience for those ith older models, BMW and MINI authorised dealers throughout Malaysia are now having a Value Service Campaign which comprises a series of service and repair packages. These packages, which include BMW and MINI Genuine Parts & Accessories are offered at attractive all-inclusive prices.
