JD Power recently released its 2023 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study (VDS), which showed that vehicle reliability has increased with an industry average of 186 problems per 100 (PP100) vehicles, an improvement of 6 PP100 from 2022. For context, a lower PP100 score is better. Even premium marques scored an improvement, lowering their score by 23 PP100. Vehicles from the 2020 model year were the focus of this study. Unsurprisingly, Lexus took the top spot of dependability in the premium brands seg

There is something so alluring about driving a sports coupe – much of this has to do with the style, the sleek lines front to back, and the sporty stance that exudes a notion of power, exclusivity, and speed. There is a timelessness about them too; picture a classic (C107) Mercedes-Benz SL or an ultra-modern Jaguar F-Type rolling down to your favourite Kopitiam – two different cars that shout the same thing; “I have arrived, and I’m a person of taste”. Carmakers know this, and since the mid-seve
BMW’s junior four-door coupe is back. The 2022 BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe debuts with four engine choices with a touch more practicality over style as compared to its predecessor. If you have seen the all-electric BMW i4, the second-generation 4 Gran Coupe won’t be much of a surprise. Giant nostril grilles and all. Aside from sporting more aggressive vents, the 4 Gran Coupe is a carbon copy of the i4 – design-wise. It is only slightly shorter in height and narrower in track width than the all-elect
You have seen the teasers along with the promise that it would head to Malaysian shores, and now we have the final specifications (international markets model, local specifications to be confirmed) of the BMW i4 range.

What is the 430i M Sport Coupé? BMW terms this, uh, controversi
The controversially-styled all-new 2021 G22 BMW 4 Series is now open for pre-booking in Malaysia. BMW Malaysia is only offering a single variant for the G22 4 Series which is the 430i Coupe M Sport and prices start from RM 418,800 (inclusive of extended warranty and service package).

The 430i Coupe M Sport comes with th
In spite of the COVID-19 pandemic, BMW Malaysia showed no signs of slowing down in 2020 by launching quite a number of models including the M8 Coupe and Gran Coupe, X3M, X4M, M135i, and the 218i Gran Coupe. That being said, 2021 is approaching. What brand-new models does BMW Malaysia have in store for this hopefully smoother sailing year? 2021 BMW 4 Series Coupe The first thing everyone noticed when BMW unveiled images of the G22 4 Series was the design of the kidney grilles.

McDonald’s has the Golden Arches, Coca-Cola has the contour bottle shape, and BMW has the kidney grilles. These are some of the most iconic brand symbols of all time but while the other 2 remain the same throughout the years, the kidney grille has been making quite a few changes, some you might not even notice. I’m thinking of this as I look at the official photos of the latest G80 M3 and G84 M4. Some might think the vertically extended kidney grilles leave a sight for sore eyes, especially on t
