Launching of new BMW 5 Series Sedan

We were invited to the launching of the new BMW 5 series sedan last night at the Grand Hall, Empire Hotel and Country Club. It was an extravaganza with more than 10 BMW cars on display including the new 5 series. The new car was revealed on stage by the Area Manager of BMW Asia and also the German Ambassador to Brunei. Its grand! Hubby loved the car and I think they were nice too. And the price? Dont ask! Although hubby told me he didnt expect the price at that range because he thought they cost higher than he predicted.

We actually enjoyed ourselves looking at these beautiful machines and taking some photos. It was a good night to mingle amongst the crowds, and since food were served that a bonus too, lol.

Our photos were taken and we signed our names the moment we arrived and I felt like we were on a movie premiere or something hehe.

Some of the food which was served while waiting for the ceremony. Thats lobster in those glasses. I tried one but didnt like it so much, felt so fishy in my mouth.

The emcee of the night, Jenny of Kristral FM.

The BMW 5 series, revealed on stage after speech by the Area Manager and German Ambassador. These are the top people of BMW.

Me with the blue BMW on stage. We liked it because it looked like our BMW at home, I mean the colour tehehe.

Nice and sleek and smooth. Awesome.


This is one of the new BMW on display. Its a BMW 523i and cost around B$98,000. Not too bad actually. We thought the price was higher than that. And I liked the colour of this car too, light brown.


Hubby tried to get a feel of the car. Maybe he was thinking of buying one!



One of the stall spread along side the grand hall. This is grilled lamb. They also had nasi ayam, laksa, kebab/pita, sushi and assortments of dessert. With free flow of soft drinks. All for free! And you can eat as much as you want.

I was enjoying dessert, I am acting like a child when she sees lots of toys. So much to choose from. Very tempting and they all looked so nice enough to eat. But I didnt eat all, hehe.

This is hubby with the most expensive of the new 5 series. The 535i which cost around B$163,000! These car has lots of features including the Parking Assistant feature where the car could steer to parking space on its own, you just need to give it the command, using the ultrasonic sensors in the side indicators. The assistant takes care of the steering wheel and you just need to select the correct gear and control the accelerator and brake.

The price tag.

Here it is again.

The interior, although I think our Honda Odyssey interior looks better! Sorry..
