The M Club of Singapore, Singapore’s leading owner’s club for BMW M and M Performance vehicles, has recently welcomed Eurokars Auto as a new 2023 Platinum Sponsor.

Enacted in 2010, the owners club is currently the only local BMW M car club recognised and supported by both Performance Motors and Eurokars Auto.

The club actively organises a wide variety of gatherings, including regular drive events both in Singapore and up north. Owners also enjoy exclusive access to events and corporate deals provided by the yearly Platinum, Gold, and Silver sponsors.

Club members also occasionally receive invitations to special events, including private viewings of the latest BMW M vehicles. The partnership with Eurokars will allow owners to know more about the dealer, as well as the opportunity to learn more about Eurokars Auto’s services, including a visit to the Eurokars Group Integrated Aftersales Facility.

Eurokars Auto has already supported a few events for the club this year. These include M Club’s Dinner and Dance 2023 cum Annual General Meeting, Breakfast drive to Malacca which facilitated over 50 cars, and even a 4D3N Track Night and Holiday Drive for 50 cars.

The inauguration was commemorated by Mr Ong Pang Yang, President of the M Club of Singapore, and Mr Jason Lim, Managing Director of Eurokars Auto Private Limited.

The first-ever International MotorXpo Hong Kong (IMXHK) which happened in 2021 was an overwhelming success, attracting over 160,000 visitors, 160 different exhibitors, and amassed 60 brands and more than 150 vehicles.

Continuing its success, IMXHK 2022 was an even bigger endeavour, promoting automotive culture, education, and electronic sports car racing. Held from 8 – 11 December,  exhibition-goers were treated to a weekend of automotive fanfare held at AsiaWorld Expo and AXA Wonderland in the West Kowloon Cultural District.

IMXHK campaigned its “Mobility +” theme this year, showcasing the latest automotive technology, art, and collector cars, in addition to a number of automotive-related performances and competitions.

These include an electric car-themed exhibition, a car culture festival area featuring a whole host of rare JDM gems and collector cars, and an exclusive VIP Avenue showcasing stunning car art, design, supercars and other mobility technologies.

Some special events were also hosted during the festivities, including the Dream Car 2050 Children Art Gallery which raised funds for charity, a fun-filled CARnival with car-themed gaming, animation and model car displays, plus the first MISS IMX Contest.

In addition to the expansive indoor exhibition space, this instalment of IMXHK throws in another bonus, which is the introduction of an outdoor bazaar and vehicle show this year. This action-packed, tyre-smoking show features classic JDM drifting and motorbike stunt performances.

Essentially, it’s a stage for local motorsport athletes to flaunt their talented skills.

No matter what is your poison: be it retro JDM classics, new billionaire club exotics, racing legends or even sensible EVs, there’s something for everyone, cumulating in this Smörgåsbord of automotive passion.

I was most likely the only foreign media correspondent there in attendance, but overall I had a blast, and it was a festival weekend packed to the brim with activities.

Furthermore, it enables local automotive enthusiasts to come together and share their passion for roaring engines and loud exhausts (or silence if you fall under the EV band camp). If you get the chance to attend IMXHK in the future, I highly suggest you do.

This process, according to Bentley, is an industry-first. for the automotive industry. This new-fangled ‘additive manufacturing’ technique will produce up to 210 grams of 18ct yellow gold which will be added to the Bentley Batur.

The optional 3D-printed gold accents will be scattered around the driver touchpoints. This includes the Charisma Dial, encircling the start/stop button which is used to change driver modes.

This gold is also applied to Bentley’s Organ Stop vent controls and is featured on a gold insert marker on the steering wheel.

The gold is also sustainably sourced from 100% recycled old jewellery, which is grounded into a fine powder needed for 3D printing. Recycling ensures there is no environmental mining impact from obtaining the gold.

Every 3D gold part is digitally rendered using CAD models before being sent to be printed using laser melting printers. After printing, each piece is then hand-finished by skilled artisan jewellers.  

To ensure their authenticity, all parts produced for the Batur are also hallmarked in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Additionally, any parts manufactured in 2022 will also receive the Jubilee hallmark, a tribute to the late Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee year.  

This 3D printing technology will not only be used to make artisanal jewellery. Bentley is currently exploring turning CAD models into physical parts, which we may see in the future. This opens the door to more low-volume manufacturing components and bespoke customer personalisation.
