Last week, we published a story about the current model BMW X5 and its many attributes — especially when driven along well-paved roads that stretch for miles. As promised, we follow that story up with a sneak peek at the new model that’s set to make its mark along Philippine roads sometime in the first half of next year.

                    [Summary] => We drove it in Spain and we got to drive it again two weeks ago in Clark, Pampanga: BMW’s class-leading 3-Series sports sedan, now in its "E90" generation. Once again, we were duly impressed with its dynamic handling and refined powertrains, especially with the 258-horsepower 330i and its Active Steering component. Through a system of sensors and steering shaft gears, in extreme situations, the car senses the need for more (or less) steering angle relative to the actual position of the steering wheel.

Like seeing Stonehenge in the flesh for the first time, our group of Asian journalists gaped in awe at the seemingly never-ending row of sparkling new BMW 5-series sedans, parked side by side with millimetric perfection, their rooftops shimmering with the heatwave from the blazing Sardinian sun.


We were divided into two groups, with the luckier ones getting the stint behind the wheel almost immediately. The other half had to go through a series of technical presentations, after which the two groups swapped places.
