News & Reviews:   BMW

Earlier this year, BMW Malaysia announced a collaboration with the University of Malaya in reusing electric car batteries, and they have shared a little about the project. That said, what should you know about it?

BMW recently showed off their new Panoramic Vision feature which turns your windshield into a Heads-up-display digital dashboard. Fully customizable and within your view, this display is located at the bottom of your windshield and shows off colourful dashboard features like a clock, speedometer and even the song being played. 

During the Google I/O event, Google mentioned that the upcoming Android 12 smartphone comes equipped with a feature that lets you unlock your car using an Android smartphone. While not much is known in regards to the exact release date, it does give us a better idea of what to expect from the device as soon as it is available globally.

BMW Malaysia has just introduced Apple’s CarPlay for their models. The first 6 months is free (from the time the car is assembled) and after that, users will be charged a fee. For the first 3 months, users will be charged RM5 if they’re not willing to commit just yet. CarPlay comes with a 12-month plan which costs RM513 and a 36-month plan at RM799. If you want unlimited access forever, it will set users back RM1899.

Today, Maxis has partnered with various premium brands, namely BMW, Citibank, Enrich by Malaysia Airlines, MINI and Sime Darby Property. This partnership is to reward MaxisONE Club members with exclusive rewards whenever they upgrade their smartphone, buy a new car, book a holiday, purchase a new home or even when they make a financial investment.
