“In the past year, Wheelcorp Premium has been rigorously strengthening its team and work force to meet the growing demands in the Setia Alam and Klang areas. Now, with this new facility for our customers to experience the dynamism and sophistication behind the BMW and MINI brands, more than ever, we are geared up to deliver the premium promise behind the ownership of a vehicle from the BMW Group,” said Wheelcorp Premium dealer principal and executive director Jayden Liew.

The driving circuit caters to BMW and MINI vehicle agility tests for speed and coordination, courses on driving in wet conditions, braking exercises, as well as courses on how to have total control of a car in extreme and dangerous situations. For the more off-road inclined, the complex also includes BMW xDrive experiences for muddy and rugged terrain, incorporating bunkers, side slopes, hill climb and hill descent demonstrations.
