Vehicle in-car lighting has come a long way, especially so in modern day luxury cars. Cool, multi-coloured ambient lighting is almost a norm for premium segments these days, with models like the latest-gen Mercedes-Benz E-Class offering up to 64 colours to choose from.
As cool as the Benz may be, the BMW 7 Series’ latest trick is probably one of the most impressive means of cabin lighting we’ve ever seen – enter the BMW Sky Lounge glass roof. Yes, Rolls Royce has done something similar before, with its starry night LED headliner, but BMW’s Sky Lounge takes the concept to a whole other level.
Previewed at the 7 Series’ local launch event yesterday morning, the new sunroof system features an electric roller sun-blind, a slide and tilt function for cabin ventilation and an LED-based lighting installation with over 15,000 lighting elements in the glass of the panoramic roof.
It’s difficult to fully capture just how pretty the Sky Lounge is when paired with the vehicle’s ambient lighting systems, or the mood it sets in the cabin, but gosh, this thing is properly impressive. We strongly recommend checking it out for yourselves at a dealership for the best experience – just remember to do so when it’s dark. Then you’ll see the visually impressive exterior Welcome Light Carpet too.

>Expect features from a car valued over half a million ringgit to be inside a car 1/10 of that value.

Im talking about simple crap things,its only a bulb/led not a features as hill assist, lane keeping, nite vision, laser headlamp,n so on, man.. doest matter hw much the value of a car, n wht car u drive. Its Wht drives u.

Thats bcause those cheaper buyers usually play techno music loudly as they go.
1. Sleep comfortably at the back.
2. Some people prefer 4-seater version.
3. White/light-coloured interior is always the best for luxurious vehicles.
4. Rear side airbags.
5. Nice sunroofs. Is it termed ‘panoramic’?
Can’t wait for it to trickle down to the 5er and 3er
Actually, after personally seeing the G12, I have a lot of expectations for the new G30 5er. If at all, the F01/02 was the real vision into the F10 (which took the best bits of the F01 and made it more driver focussed). I’m waiting on a test drive on the G12, but I’m pretty curious to try out the CFRP-Hybrid chassis. Interior is well thought out and works pretty well in reality – it’s a pity this car is not photogenic for me. And M Sport would fix the exterior for me, Design Pure Excellence is just too much bling bling, and unfortunately for them, the Mercedes portrays the luxury look way better.
Find paultan’s article on Jaguar XJL 2.0T.
Even though jaguar utilising aluminium compare to BMW’s carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) the end result is more or less the same giving a dry weight of just over 1.5 tonnes.
See how nimble and surefooted the car is. Jaguar XJL is a limousine spec though, which adds about 5 inch to the wheelbase.
