This is one of the many customer engagement events organised for our loyal customers to thank them for their continued support,” said Horst Herdtle, Managing Director of Performance Motors Limited.

A fleet of nearly 30 BMW hatchbacks, sedans, 7-seaters and sports activity vehicles took off at dawn on 8 September from the BMW showroom located at the Sime Darby Performance Centre, 303 Alexandra Road to beat the early morning traffic at the Singapore-Malaysia Second Link.

After 90 minutes, the convoy arrived at Kluang Rail Coffee where participants were treated to authentic kopitiam eats from Mee Siam and Mee Rebus to Bun Bakar and Hainanese Kopi.
