maltatoday, SUNDAY, 28 SEPTEMBER 2014 MOTORING 45 THE BMW 2 Series Active Tourer was exhibited for the first time at The Oktoberfest at Laguna Walk, SmatCity Malta from the 27th-28- th September. This event followed the traditional German Oktober- fest held originally in Munich. The event is the world's largest annual funfair celebrated annually in Ger- many and other cities around the world. During this event BMW Malta together with Muscats Motors had a dedicated BMW area where they had two BMW 2 Series Active Tour- ers on display as well as distributed BMW balloons and f lags to the children present during this event. Areas of the Laguna Walk's prom- enade were allocated for a relaxing sit-down dinner where individuals and companies alike had the op- portunity to treat their family, friends, partners, associates and/or employees to a delicious meal with a stunning view. This newly launched BMW is bringing the functionality of space and comfort, combined with hall- mark BMW dynamics, style and elegance, to the premium compact class. Conscious of the need to meet the high level of spaciousness, vari- ability and functionality demanded in the premium compact class, BMW has given the 2 Series Active Tourer a sophisticated front-wheel- drive system capable of delivering the degree of driver engagement expected of the brand's models. The brand identity with its over- riding sense of dynamism is clearly present in the BMW 2 Series Ac- tive Tourer too. It shines through in trademark features such as the slightly forward-slanting BMW kidney grille at the front end f lanked by the distinctive twin cir- cular headlights and many more features that give this car unmis- takable BMW design traits. The new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer is being launched with a choice of 3 engines including 218i, 225i and 218d. The front drive axle in the new BMW 2 Series Active Tourer has undergone extensive fine-tuning, ensuring that it en- dows the car with optimum driving dynamics and wonderfully precise steering feedback. The starting price is €27,400, this price is for the 218i engine and in- cludes all a variety of options such as sports leather steering wheel, rear parking sensors, rain sen- sors, automatic lights, bluetooth amongst many others. After the launch, this fantastic vehicle will be available at the offi- cial BMW dealer, Muscats Motors, Rue D'Argens Gzira.
