BMW M dealer to sell new BMW sub-range

BMW M has announced a new sub-range of vehicles, the M Performance line, which will be sold in Singapore later this year by its dealer Munich Automobiles. The new range sits between the existing high-performance M range and regular BMW machines - much in the same vein as Audi's 'S' series of vehicles. The first model announced internationally is the M550d, equipped with a 3.0-litre diesel engine with three turbochargers. Gasoline variants are expected to be announced soon.

Smallest hybrid from Toyota on sale

Toyota's launched its newest hybrid model here, the Prius C, which is a compact hatchback comparable in size to a Toyota Yaris or Honda Jazz. Powered by a 73bhp 1.5-litre engine with a 60bhp electric motor and nickel-metal hydride battery pack, it boasts an impressive fuel economy of 27km/L. It's also a full hybrid and can run on pure electric power for short distances. Dealer Borneo Motors says first deliveries start soon and the car is priced at S$104,800 with COE.
