BMW X6 2013

The BMW X6 is available in three trims: the six-cylinder xDrive35i, V8-powered xDrive50i and high-performance X6 M. The base model comes with standard features including 10-way power-adjustable heated leather front seats, push-button start, front and rear parking sensors and a power liftgat





Test drivers say the 2013 BMW X6 performs better than any SUV has a right to. They say that even its base six-cylinder engine provides great acceleration, and that it handles better than most SUVs. However, as a vehicle with such a focus on performance, reviewers say it could do better. They note that its hefty curb weight negatively impacts handling,










The BMW X6’s interior may be small compared with other crossovers, but reviewers say it’s well-made and well-equipped. It only seats four, which is unusual for an SUV, and it costs much more than many SUVs that offer more cargo and passenger space

BMW M4 Coupe


The F82 M4 Coupe is based on the new 4 Series Coupe and it will differentiate itself from the 3 Series family through a sleeker front apron, redesigned headlights and kidney grille, elements already seen on the 4 Series. The coupe roofline gives the car a sleek look which will further differentiate the coupe from the M3 sedan. The M4 badging was also confirmed recently.


The air vents are large in size with angled fins that give the car not only a road-focused look, but also a dominating stance. The M4 Coupe will also get a hood bulge. As any other M model it will get the M sideskirts and wide fenders. Positioning itself as an affordable alternative to the M6 Coupe, the M4 is expected to inherit the carbon fiber roof.

A Ship on Three Skyscrapers by MBS Project

This is a mega located in the city-state of Singapore, Is the project of Marina Bay Sands. The massive complex include three towers of 60 floors, with a capacity of 2600 rooms and suites, parking for 4000 vehicles, spas, glass pavilions, restaurants, places of outdoor events, museum, theaters and nightclubs, a casino, showrooms great flexibility and a convention center. But topping the three skyscrapers built an amazing feat of engineering (Skypark), more than 8000m2 of space with gardens, terraces and three swimming pools in a slightly curved horizontal building that looks like a boat up there. Almost surreal, but worth seeing, especially for the flight (70m) which has its ‘head’. Marina Bay Sands is a project of architect Moshe Safdie.
