How do you spot a good driver on the road? It is the way the car effortlessly accelerates and smoothly slows down while overtaking vehicle after vehicle – and swiftly, but surely, disappears from your view.
This is what I experienced when I accompanied Adrian Ong and his wife Michelle Eng on their double (car) date as they spent an afternoon cruising through Singapore in two new models from BMW – the 530i M Sport saloon and the 430i Coupe M Sport Pro respectively.
Both handled their cars with such consummate ease during the three-plus hours traversing our city’s highways and roads. To say that the couple are car enthusiasts is a gross understatement. Through the years, they have owned and driven a slew of high-performance machines which will be the envy of most. Italian supercars, British luxury saloons and German autobahn speeders… they have piloted quite a few of these.
“Adrian and I love driving. We have even attended advanced driving courses to level up on our skills. He has participated in more events than me of course,” says Michelle, who runs an LED lighting company with her husband.
Adrian chimes in: “Sure, I have more of these driving courses under my belt but as you can see, she is pretty adept at the wheel too.”
I could not think of a better duo to experience the driving pleasure offered by the BMW 530i M Sport and BMW 430i Coupe M Sport Pro.
INSTANT APPEAL
“We sold our BMW M3 recently and we were starting to miss it. When I found that I would be given first choice of which BMW to drive, I picked the 430i Coupe immediately,” states Michelle.
