Assalamualaikum and
very good day readers!
This is my second
entries in this blog. Hope you all really enjoy read it.
One day, my lecturer Associate
Professor Dr. Norzaidi Haji Mohd Daud asked us in class about our dream car.
He listed out three famous brands in the world and all of us need to choose only
one. When my turn answered the question I quickly said that my dream car is of
course one and only BMW and leave behind Mercedes-Benz and Audi.
I started to fall in
love with BMW when I have an opportunity to ride my sister’s BMW 3 Series car.
The car have the intelligent energy management such as Automatic Start/Stop
function, Brake Energy Regeneration, electric power steering and Optimum Shift
Indicator. The most thing that I like during ride BMW 3 Series is when it stop
at traffic light, the Automatic Start/Stop will function by switching off the
engine. The engine will start back automatically as soon as possible when the driver’s
foot off the brake. This function very useful because it ensure that fuel is
only used when the car is moving. It is very cool right?
This entry will not
focus about BMW 3 Series, but will be more focus on the new model BMW which is BMW 7
Series.
It comes with a
touchscreen without actually need to make a contact with the surface of the
screen. Sensors inside the car will record hand movements. For example, by twirling
a finger clockwise increases the volume of the stereo and by twirling anti-clockwise
decreases the volume. Besides, the driver also can answering a call using a
connected Bluetooth by only pointing at the screen or simply swiping a finger
if wants to reject it. The aim of this system is to reduce any kind of
distraction for the driver. So, they will be more focus with the driving but in
the meantime still able to access all the features on the touchscreen.
The Surround View
system can show a Top View mode, Panorama View mode and also 3D View mode. It helps
the driver to look sides traffic in the areas in front of and behind the car.
Panorama View helps to navigate in areas with low visibility such as
driveways or at confusing intersections. The cameras provide 360 degrees view and
the image captured can be seen on the Control Display which is at the
touchscreen.
The BMW Touch Command
is a Samsung 7-inch tablet display with WiFi connection that is integrated into
the centre armrest in the car. It can control the audio system, multiple
shades and the panoramic sunroof, mood lighting, Internet connectivity and also
can access an on board exercise program. Can you have an exercise only from the car and not in
the gym? The answer is YES! The Touch Command tablet also provides a Vitality
Program that guides a passenger through a series of isometric exercise.
The BMW 7 Series has a
super cool display key. It is contains an LCD touchscreen that can provide many
information regarding the car. For example, by touch the key, the driver can know
whether the doors are locked or not, the windows and sunroof are opened or closed,
the fuel status and service reminders. The most powerful thing is it allows the
driver to use the display key as a remote control to park the car while
standing outside!
Self-parking already
available on BMW’s i3 electric vehicle and many others, but the BMW 7 Series is
the first model that let the driver park the car without anyone at the wheel. This
unique feature allows the driver to easily park the car even tight parking
space. While standing outside the car, the driver initiates the car’s progress
to be forwards into or reverse the car until enter the parking space. But, bear
in mind driverless mode only can be access when the distance of parking area
and the car is 1.5times the length of the car.
Here I share with all
readers the video about BMW 7 Series so that it can trigger our motivation to
work hard and get our own BMW one day, insyaAllah. For the time being, no
RM600k, so no BMW 7 Series okay.
