BWM Group Malaysia returned to Bukit Jalil National Stadium for the BMW Premium Selection Showcase. The three-day event featured a wide variety of cars, ranging from traditional petrol vehicles to EVs. The fair was quite special for those looking for new wheels, as it showcased up to 500 pre-owned vehicles, allowing casual visitors to become BMW owners overnight.
However, used cars wanting a new home weren’t the only thing BMW Malaysia showcased at the event. The German automobile and motorcycle manufacturer took the time to debut the latest beast on the road: the BMW R 18 Roctane, which features well-balanced ergonomics with a mid-mounted foot configuration and a two-level seat, as well as updated running boards, a gearshift paddle, and high handlebars coated in sleek black, demonstrating that every element has been crafted to ensure comfort and control on the asphalt.

Discover Mystical Arabia @ Pavilion KL
If you’ve always wanted to travel to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, there’s no better time than now. The Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) recently unveiled a series of initiatives that allow you to journey to the iconic land of the Two Holy Mosques. This strategic move aims to unlock the leisure segment, reinforce Saudi Arabia’s commitment to Malaysian travellers, and open the country’s doors to the world.
We went over to their booth, located at Pavilion KL, where they offered us a little taste of their culture. These ranged from flower crowns to their traditional coffee, all the way to having your name written in Arabic script by a professional calligrapher.
Afterwards, they regaled us with all the leisure spots that are now open to the public. Ranging from cultural treasure troves to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, it seems like you will never get bored when you visit Mystical Arabia.
