Welcome to our Spring Edition of Sandal Living.

Page 4 Master Technician Update

This is the first Sandal Living of 2014 and it's our aim to continue to bring you news and interesting articles about Sandal, BMW and MINI on a regular basis through this superb publication.

Page 7 A Classic Launch M Power Day

2013 was a very busy year with BMW and MINI continuing to support some very strong offers on the range of new cars and I am pleased to say that these strong offers will continue throughout 2014. It is good to hear from the media that the economy is turning around. This is something that we saw in the last six months at Sandal with increased confidence from our customers visiting our Dealerships. To endorse this further we are actively recruiting new talent across a wide breadth of roles at both our Dealerships. Should you know anyone that might be interested, all our vacancies are listed on our websites. Keeping the good news flowing, BMW are launching an unprecedented number of new models this year with the introduction of over 14 new or life cycle enhancement models. Details of some of these new models are in this edition and include the stunning new 2 Series Coupé and BMW 4 Series Convertible. It's going to be a busy year! MINI are also launching the all new MINI Hatch which is completely new from the ground up and promises to be the most connected MINI ever built. Having seen this car first-hand I can understand why the press are all raving about it with Autocar saying that it's "Better to drive in every way - it's now more entertaining than ever". A great accolade especially as the previous model was so good. As a privately owned company, customer satisfaction remains our priority. To enhance the customer experience further, we have introduced a new role in to our business, that of the 'Product Genius'. More details can be found later in this edition.

Shining Star: Andrzej Brodzinski The BMW group recently set a competition to reward individuals within the network who provide outstanding customer service. Only 16 dealer employees amongst the thousands are rewarded with a 'Shining the Light' award in recognition of their commitment to going above and beyond. Andrzej's award was made even more special as he was nominated by a Sandal customer who quoted BMW “The level of customer service received from Andrzej has been exceptional. He was very keen to sit down and listen to the issue I had experienced with my car and his product knowledge and fault diagnosis was second to none. All in all I have had a very slick service from him.” Sandal Huddersfield Service Manager Mark Huggins said “Since Andrzej has been working for Sandal he has continually worked hard to ensure that everyone he deals with receives the best service available. We are really proud of him and very thankful that our customers take the time to provide their valuable feedback to both BMW and Sandal.” Sandal want to ensure that every customer is delighted with the service they receive and would ask that if, for any reason you don’t feel that you have received the very best experience to ask to speak to a Manager. Mark added “BMW carry out a number of questionnaires on our behalf and it’s imperative that everyone leave the dealership ‘extremely satisfied’. It is much easier to help resolve any problems before customers leave the dealership but we do need to know beforehand, my door and my colleagues doors are always open.”

Countdown to a classic launch.

4 3 2 1

Sandal Launched the stunning new 4 Series Coupé in real style by creating a ‘retro’ feel. Both Huddersfield and Wakefield Dealerships started the reveal with a procession of BMW 3 Series Coupé models starting from the 1975 E21 through to the E92 model introduced in 2006. Each car was driven through the showroom to the accompaniment of music from the vehicle's launch year. Listening to the music and seeing the way BMW has continued to develop the BMW 3 Series provided a real 'visual' time-line. Who would have thought that the classic E30 launched in 1982 was the same year as Michael Jackson's hit Billie Jean and Marvin Gaye's Sexual Healing were in the charts? Where does the time go? The six cars on display were kindly provided by the BMW Owners Club along with some of Sandal's own customers. Special thanks go to those individuals who provided these stunning cars, a number of which have won top awards. Looking back at the line-up of the previous BMW 3 Series models it is noticeable that the styling cues still remain a main focus of BMW automotive design, the classic kidney grill, twin headlamps and the

AGNIFICENT LINEUP

During two weekends in August and September 2013 customers experienced what must have been the ultimate BMW line-up ever assembled at the Sandal BMW Motorshow event. Customers were invited down to Sandal Huddersfield showroom or Normanton Golf Course where a line-up of some of the most desirable BMW models were available to drive back to back. Models included the M135i, M3, M5, M6 Coupé and X6 M50d to name but a few. In addition to the stunning BMW range a selection of competitor models were available to drive and allowed customers to compare their driving dynamics directly after experiencing 'The Ultimate Driving Machine'. Even though the line up included top of the range supercars, the most popular model was the M135i. The M135i was extremely well received and has enough power for the enthusiastic driver yet can still drive like a ‘town car’. With prices starting from just £30,570 and with fuel economy of up to 44.1 miles per gallon the M135i was the most affordable high performance BMW available on the day. The event was superbly organised with over 180 customers and 412 test drives completed over the event. If you would like to be automatically invited to future Sandal events, then register with the CRM team on 01484 515515.

internationally famous Hofmeister knik were all clearly visible in the line-up. But what about the new 4 Series? Well in a dramatic build up of music and a sudden flash, the curtains dropped and there was the BMW 4 Series Coupé in all its glory. BMW have once again evolved the design, and even though the Series number has changed the classic BMW Coupé styling certainly remains true BMW. You can read more about the stunning BMW 4 Series Coupé in the following pages of Sandal Living. If you are interested in attending any future launches then please contact Jasmine Thorne on 01484 515515 who will be delighted to send any future invitations directly to yourself. Sandal Living 7


HOLD YOUR BREATH AND COUNT The New BMW 4 Series Coupé Powerful aesthetics and sporting dynamism characterise the new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Add to that a unique driving sensation thanks to the low centre of gravity, near 50:50 weight distribution, high body stiffness and efficient engines with TwinPower Turbo technology. The new Sport, Modern and Luxury models together with the SE and M Sport mean numerous options when personalising the new BMW 4 Series Coupé, whilst standard equipment is significantly increased and includes Xenon headlights, Dakota leather upholstery, Front seat heating, Servotronic power steering and front and rear Park Distance Control. One highlight is the unique new Adaptive LED headlights which features LED indicators, front foglights and tilt/swivel functionality. The innovative Air Breathers not only set an exciting design accent but also improve aerodynamics and efficiency. Ensuring even more driving pleasure are the eight-speed Sport automatic transmission, which now features Launch Control and the latest BMW ConnectedDrive driver assistance systems such as the full-colour BMW Head-up Display. THE RACING LINE SUITS YOU. Seeming contradictions yield inspiring design: with its long wheelbase and short overhangs, the new BMW 4 Series Coupé radiates self-assured authority. The set-back

glasshouse underlines the distinctive coupé style. The flat roofline running dynamically to the rear and the presence of the vehicle demonstrate pure athleticism, long before the journey begins. AERODYNAMIC. BREATHTAKING. The Air Breathers are located behind the front wheels to emphasise the sheer forward momentum of the new BMW 4 Series Coupé. Furthermore, together with the Aero Curtain integrated in the bumpers, which guides the airstream along the front wheel housing via two vertical inlets, they also provide an effective reduction of air resistance around the wheel housings by channelling the airstream past the front wheels. These innovative BMW EfficientDynamics measures reduce turbulence. The result is optimum aerodynamic figures which, in turn, improve the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions A LOOK THAT SAYS EVERYTHING. ESPECIALLY ABOUTYOU. Light meets speed. With the latest technology of Adaptive LED Headlights, you’ll never again be left in the dark. Thanks to their pure white light beam, they ensure optimum and homogenous illumination of the road similar to daylight. That makes for fatigue-free night driving and light distribution that

Their L-shape means, they blend harmoniously into the vehicle styling, emphasising the powerful width. Dynamic brake lights supply an added safety bonus in that they light up gently at a soft touch of the pedal and more intensively during hard braking.

Let the sun shine....

The new BMW 4 Series Convertible is the latest entrant to a market segment where BMW has enjoyed widespread acclaim and great success over five generations of premium Convertibles. The design language introduced with the 4 Series Coupé is evident in this, the second model debut in the series. The result is a sporting yet elegant car, roof raised or lowered, that is clearly distinguished from its 3 Series brethren. It’s a lower, wider, longer car than the old 3 Series Convertible, with a visibly greater sporting intent. The BMW 4 Series Convertible has a folding metal roof which can be raised or lowered in just 20 seconds and at speeds of up to 8mph. The optional wind deflector can now be stored behind the seats when not in use, and a new Air Collar system blows warm air around the necks of front seat occupants for open-air driving on cooler days. At launch the 4 Series Convertible range will consist of two petrol engines and one diesel engine choice, available across five different trim levels. The range is characterised by a marked increase in the standard equipment level offered, despite the minimal increase in price. The BMW 4 Series Convertible goes on sale from 8 March 2014, starting at £36,675 OTR for a 420d SE Convertible.

STANDS OUT. EFFORTLESSLY. The BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch.

BMW TwinPower Turbo four-cylinder diesel engines

The modern design of the BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch underlines its individuality. At first sight, the BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch is impressive, with its athletic contours and clean lines. Inside, it is both contemporary and practical, with numerous storage options and an undeniable appeal. Exterior design. Compact and agile, with large inviting rear doors that give an indication of the spacious interior the BMW 1 Series Sports Hatch has instant appeal. Despite the completely new design, from the very first glance this car reveals its unmistakeable BMW 1 Series roots. Distinctive lines and threedimensional effects characterise the dynamically shaped bonnet. The kidney grille in the centre, together with the horizontally sectioned headlights, generates a strong presence, which is further reinforced in the xenon version by the innovative Corona rings. This car is so dynamic, that even when it’s stationary it appears to be moving. Interior design. BMW designers talk of the layering system when they’re explaining the styling concept for the spacious interior of the BMW 1 Series. Drivers tend to talk of the lightness of the space when they describe the effect. Components such as the instrument panel or decorative trim strips blend to create a modern look and provide a formal framework for the controls. Each ergonomic challenge has been solved intelligently and with care. Like the Control Display. Following the BMW 6 Series, the BMW 1 Series is now the second range of models to feature a free-standing Control Display. But it’s not just about the technology, it’s the little details that count which is why the Control Display is located in the middle above the centre console so it’s directly in the driver’s line of vision.

The four-cylinder diesel engines in the BMW 1 Series combine low consumption with high performance. In the BMW 116d, 118d, 120d and 125d are the established diesel power engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology. This package combines common-rail direct injection and a turbocharger with variable turbine geometry. This results in the diesel engines offering an unprecedented ratio of performance and fuel consumption. The BMW 120d delivers 135 kW/184 hp at a fuel consumption of 61.4 to 64.2 mpg while accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in 7.2 seconds with CO2 emissions of 116 to 122 g/km. The fully aluminium engine block also reduces the weight and allows the 120d power unit to record the best power-to-weight ratio of its class. Even more economical are the engines in the BMW 116d and 118d, with outstanding consumption figures of 62.8 to 65.7 mpg and an impressively low CO2 value of 114 to 119 g/km (all figures in accordance with EU test cycle, dependent upon the selected tyre format). The BMW 120d xDrive now brings all-wheel-drive to the 1 Series Sports Hatch.


Working for Sandal...BMW GENIUS. Sandal are delighted to introduce to you our BMW and MINI Geniuses. Tom Jack is based at our Wakefield Dealership and Alison Taylor at Huddersfield, together they are our BMW Geniuses. For MINI we have our new recruit, Anne Jacques based at Huddersfield. As a Sandal BMW or MINI Genius they are the first port of call for anyone wishing to find out more about the features and benefits of the latest BMW and MINI products and technologies available. New buying challenges prompted the Genius concept. BMW pioneered the increasing personalisation of cars and in recognition of the fact there is no longer any such thing as “one size fits all”. Our Geniuses are on hand to talk you through the vast array of options and some of the sophisticated technologies now offered on the BMW and MINI ranges, some of which have multiple uses and potentially hidden gems that can really be brought to the fore with the help of our Geniuses. They can demonstrate and explain technologies such as

Top: Alison Taylor Middle: Tom Jack

EfficientDynamics, alternative drive systems, ConnectedDrive, xDrive, mobile solutions and Head-up Display. The focus is always on the individuality of each customer. The Genius programme also removes the “sales pressure” element from initial contact with customers. Jason Carter, Operations Director, said: “The Sandal Genius programme demonstrates that Sandal offers its customers the most up to date, forward thinking way of engaging with them on a level they’ll feel comfortable with. Buying a new car is a huge decision for anyone so having highly knowledgeable people alongside our existing professional staff is a huge positive step forward.” Alison Taylor started working for Sandal in the Customer Relations Team in 2006 and became a 'Genius' when Sandal Huddersfield moved into the new Leeds Road premises in 2012. Tom joined us in December 2013 and Anne Jacques has just taken the third Genius position. All our Geniuses have a wealth of customer service experience across a wide array of business. Please feel free to contact our Geniuses whenever you require, no matter what your enquiry.

The headlights, high-gloss black kidney grille and the wider front and rear create a broader, more aggressive stance, emphasising the breadth and sporting character of the BMW 3 Series.

Introducing the all new BMW X5 BMW is taking the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) even further into the realms of luxury cars with the introduction of the new, thirdgeneration X5. BMW invented the concept of the SAV with the original X5 and is the global market leader in the segment, with more than 1.3 million sales of the previous two models. The new X5 delivers major advances in design, luxury, comfort, versatility, efficiency, driving pleasure, safety and connectivity. It will be available with five TwinPower Turbo engines – four diesel and one petrol – a standard eightspeed automatic transmission and the option of two or four-wheel drive (sDrive and xDrive). In the UK it will be offered in SE or M Sport specifications. More driving enjoyment with even greater efficiency BMW coined the phrase ‘Sports Activity Vehicle’ because it perfectly summarises the character of the X5 – a car with the all-roads, allweather capabilities and the space and versatility of an SUV, with the driving enjoyment of a BMW. Those qualities are further advanced with the TwinPower Turbo engines, standard eight-speed automatic transmission and suspension personalisation options of the new model. At the same time these are accompanied by significant reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions as a result of a raft of EfficientDynamics technologies. All engines already meet the EU6 emissions standard not due to be introduced until September 2014. In the diesels this is due to a combination of a nitrogen oxide (NOx) absorber catalyst, Selective Catalytic Reduction and a urea (AdBlue) injection which turns the vast majority of NOx in the exhaust stream into harmless nitrogen and water. The range is initially made up of the xDrive30d, M50d and xDrive50i. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder xDrive30d is 19 per cent more fuel efficient, with economy improved by 7.4mpg and CO2 reduced by 33g/km – despite power and torque increases of 13hp and 20Nm. The M50d, powered by a three-stage

single turbo version of the 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine, is 12 per cent more efficient. Consumption is reduced by 4.5mpg and CO2 emissions down by 22g/km, while maintaining its high power and torque outputs. The xDrive50i has a new-generation 4.4-litre V8 engine now incorporating VALVETRONIC variable valve timing as well as twin turbochargers. Power is improved by 10 per cent (41hp) and there has been a 50Nm increase in torque, but consumption falls by 20 per cent (4.6mpg) and CO2 emissions have been cut by 50g/km compared with the previous engine. These three engines have recently been joined by a four-cylinder diesel, taking advantage of the new X5’s considerably reduced weight and another six-cylinder diesel. The 2.0-litre fourcylinder turbodiesel engine is new to the X5 and appears in the sole two-wheel drive model, the sDrive25d, and the xDrive25d, which provisionally achieve fuel economy of 50.4mpg and 47.9mpg respectively. The respective provisional CO2 figures are 149g/km and 155g/km. The xDrive40d, with a twin-turbo 3.0litre in-line six-cylinder diesel engine, is expected to have average fuel consumption of 44.1mpg with CO2 emissions of 169g/km. All versions come with an eight-speed automatic transmission which not only adds to driving enjoyment but also makes its own contribution to fuel-saving. The ECO PRO mode adapts the engine management, accelerator response and transmission characteristics to support a particularly fuelefficient driving style, and even programmes the climate control, heated seats and mirrors for the most efficient use of energy. In conjunction with the standard BMW Professional Multimedia navigation system, it can even advise the driver to ease off the accelerator when approaching corners or lower speed limit areas through the Proactive Driving Assistant function. This also helps to lower fuel consumption. For more information or to arrange a personalised BMW Select Finance Quotation call Sandal on 01924 433500 or 01484 515515.

Sandal Living.... Marathon Man... and then some. a world of quality, innovation and value! In the Sandal Living Summer 2012 edition we introduced Mathew Crowhurst (Sandal BMW Wakefield Sales Manager) epic challenge to enter the “hardest footrace in the world” the Marathon Des Sables. Mathew has, as you would expect been training incredibly hard for this event. In addition to his normal six days of intense training, he came up with the idea of trying to break the world record for how many miles run on a treadmill in 12 hours. His latest challenge was held at Xscape in Castleford. This was the perfect venue for Mathew and his support team of family and friends to raise funds for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Starting off at 7am and after 12 hours of non-stop running Mathew beat the current world record of 63 miles by an impressive 1.2 miles, all within the 12 hour period. Not only is he a world record holder but he raised over £1,300. Mathew told Sandal Living “Everything was set and I felt confident that all my training gave me a good chance to achieve the record. I have done a couple of six hour runs and built that up to one ten hour run but never 12 hours in one go. On the day, when I got to ten hours on the treadmill I knew that I would beat the record and was able to pace myself”. Now that the ‘little’ challenge has been completed it’s back to ‘normal’ training in preparation for the Marathon Des Sables, a 155 mile race across the Moroccan Sahara desert with barren desert plains, mountains and huge sand dunes.

SANDAL LIVING....MINI a world of quality, innovation and value!

ALL NEW, ALL MINI:

THE NEW MINI HATCH REVEALED Even though the new MINI is instantly recognisable, something which comes from having such a globally identifiable design, the car is completely new from the ground up. Every component has been back to the drawing board in an effort to optimise its function, performance and style. The result is ‘The New Original’, a MINI which is distinctly familiar but enhanced in every single way. It features significant improvements in technology, engine efficiency and power delivery, driving dynamics, quality and of course personalisation. Inside, the new MINI Hatch is quieter than the outgoing model, with improvements to acoustic refinement inside the cabin. The new MINI Hatch is more spacious than before, safer, finished to an even higher standard and provides the driver with a more dynamic and performance-oriented experience behind the wheel. Inside the cabin, new technology ensures that the new MINI is the most connected car in its segment. A new LED display concept, the first of its kind, provides the driver with visual feedback whilst operating the car and creates a premium ambience. It reflects a maturity and confidence in the brand’s design and engineering, a car which pays tribute to its unique British heritage yet stands ready to lead MINI into the second half of the decade and beyond. NEW MINI IN DETAIL The body of the new MINI is 3,821mm long, 1,727mm wide and 1,414mm tall. This makes it 98mm longer, 44mm wider and 7mm taller than its predecessor. The wheelbase has been extended by 28mm, while the track width has been enlarged at the front by 42mm and at the rear by 34mm. Behind the changes, the new car has classic MINI proportions and an instantly familiar design that’s packed with character. Traditional cues such as the hexagonal contour of the radiator grille, circular headlights, ‘side scuttle’ indicator surrounds, upright rear light clusters and black lower body edging have all been subtly reinterpreted. In profile, the tapering line of the glass creates a dynamic wedge shape. Below, a visual link between the front and rear wheel arches comes via a striking lower sill line and upper character line, which feature downward curves at both ends. The new MINI is the first car in its segment to offer the option of LED headlamps for both dipped and main beam. They are surrounded by an LED daylight driving ring, the lower section of which reaches down to the white turn indicators. The rear light clusters also feature an all-LED design. Five new exterior colours have been added to MINI’s already extensive palette, while the roof and exterior mirror caps can be finished in black or white as a no cost option. Roof rails are available for the new MINI for the first time. Interior: Hallmark MINI style, new display and operating concept The new MINI’s exterior dimensions mean greater room for up to

four occupants and their luggage, including enhanced shoulder space and larger footwells. The front seats have been given a wider adjustment range, and the base has been lengthened by 23mm for additional comfort and support. A choice of fabric or leather finishes, or a combination of both is available. It’s also easier than ever for rear seat passengers to gain access to the back. The rear bench seat back can be split 60:40. For even greater practicality, the optional storage package includes a luggage compartment floor which can be locked into place at various points and the rear seat backrest features tilt-angle adjustment. Boot volume has been increased by more than 30 per cent to 211 litres. Numerous cup holders and storage facilities make life easier for occupants. With an instantly recognisable design, state-of-the-art functionality and premium colour/material combinations, there’s no mistaking the dashboard of the new MINI Hatch. The horizontal structure of the cockpit, linked to circular and elliptical details, remains, but has evolved to take on a more sophisticated form. At the heart of the design changes is a new display and operating concept, illustrated by the instrument cluster on the steering column. Speed, revs and fuel level are displayed on vertically arranged circular dials. The speedometer scale includes a colour panel for messages and vehicle status displays. The iconic central instrument now has extended functionality. Depending on the optional equipment chosen, it can serve as a four-line TFT display as standard or optional colour screen up to 8.8-inches showing vehicle functions, infotainment, navigation and MINI Connected services. Selection of these functions is performed via a choice of two new controllers, the MINI Controller or MINI Touch Controller, fitted in the centre console which come in conjunction with MINI Visual Boost Radio or the MINI Navigation System. Groundbreaking LED lighting around the new MINI Hatch’s central instrument provides visual feedback to the current situation on the road and to specific operational steps, according to the driver’s preference. For example, when Park Distance Control is activated, the remaining distance to obstacles is shown by means of a ring of light which is illuminated in green, yellow or red - supplementing the graphic display. A change in the car’s driving mode confirmed by LED units which light up in blue, orange or red. Route guidance information provided by the MINI Navigation System is also visually supported by the illuminated ring: the closer the car gets to the turn-off point, the smaller the litup area around the edge of the central instrument. Keyless-go is now standard across the MINI Hatch range. The start/stop toggle switch located in the middle of the centre console features a heartbeat illumination which pulses before the engine is started. A number of switches have been relocated for improved usability, including those for the electric windows, which are now integrated into the door trim.

an electric launch event...

The new BMW i3 was launched in true Sandal style on Friday 15 November 2013 at Sandal Huddersfield. Customers were invited to join Sandal at 7pm for an evening that not only provided them with the first chance to view this revolutionary new car but also to experience a feast of entertainment that could only be described as ‘electric’. International Violinist Alexandra Parker serenaded customers with a selection of classical music with her electric violin. Alexandra started to learn violin from the tender age of 11 and took to the instrument as though it was a natural extension to her body which certainly showed within the evening's wonderful performances. Guests were provided with a selection of mouth-watering canapés from The Woodman Inn along with refreshing drinks mixed and served by Cellar 88 all courtesy of Sandal. When the time came to reveal the BMW i3 which was hidden away behind an elaborate curtained box, Richard Avery, Sandal Huddersfield’s Dealer Principal spoke briefly about the car before introducing Sales Manager, James Whitefield. James’s recent trip to the BMW i3 factory provided a great insight to some of the technology that makes this car truly revolutionary. James then handed over to Britains Got Talent star 'FiSH on Percussion' who had created an original score of drum beats created from noises made from the BMW i3 (for example sampling the sound of indicators and car doors opening and closing). Each hit of FiSH’s electric drum kit not only created the beat but also created a light show from the drum kit he had invented and built himself. A truly electrifying way to build the tension within the room before the curtain dropped at the height of the crescendo.... The new BMW i3 was revealed. If you haven't experienced an electric car yet, book a test drive in this truly incredible BMW. Even if you're not considering an electric car, come and experience the future of motoring. Further information on the BMW i3 can be found on the following pages. If you are interested in joining Sandal for any future launch or events then please contact our CRM team on 01484 515515 who will ensure that you receive invitations. Watch the launch video at www.youtube.com/sandalbmw

BMW i is revolutionising automotive engineering with the first seriesproduced passenger cell made of carbon fibre, a key element of BMW EfficientDynamics lightweight construction technology. Carbon fibre is around 50% lighter than steel and almost 30% lighter than aluminium. This lets BMW i set new standards in lightweight construction, at the same time completely offsetting the additional weight of the high-voltage lithium ion battery. Not only that, carbon fibre is also a highly resilient material

Its use was limited for a long time as it required significant manual input. After ten years of intensive research and development, the BMW Group, in collaboration with SGL Automotive Carbon Fibre, has produced carbon fibres and carbon fibre plates that make large-scale series production possible.

LIFEDRIVE ARCHITECTURE. BMW LifeDrive is the first vehicle architecture custombuilt for electric cars. It is created from two separate units: the Life module – the passenger cell made of carbon fibre – and the Drive module, comprising the suspension, drive components and highvoltage battery. The advantage?

By securely housing all drive components in the lower module, there is no transmission tunnel running through the middle of the car, leaving more room for passengers. LifeDrive architecture not only compensates for the extra weight of the battery, it also lowers the car’s centre of gravity, giving every BMW i the kind of agility you expect from all our cars. Passenger Cell The upper module consists of carbon fibre reinforced plastic – CFRP – also known as carbon fibre. It offers the best possible protection in the event of an accident thanks to its high strength. But it is also light enough to offset the additional weight of the high-voltage battery. This gives driver and passengers greater safety and a sense of space, while also reducing vehicle weight, making for an even more dynamic driving experience. Drive module

BMW eDrive. The innovative BMW eDrive technology is the result of many years of BMW EfficientDynamics development. Three key features combine to deliver an unequalled sustainable driving experience. The entire torque of the agile electric motor is available almost instantly, from a standing start, and uninterrupted acceleration is maintained up to the maximum speed. Innovative battery technology brings together the ultra-powerful high-voltage battery with a cooling system that maintains the ideal operating temperature and boosts battery life and performance. The intelligent energy management system ensures optimal interaction between the electric motor and the high-voltage battery. The aim is to achieve maximum performance with minimum consumption. Regenerative braking through the one-pedal driving system extends the car's range. Together with the ECO PRO+ driving mode, the push of a button is all it takes to tune all of the systems towards maximum efficiency and intelligent use of energy reserves.

The lower module is constructed from 100% aluminium. It houses the high-voltage battery, along with the suspension system, structural and crash components and the electric drive train. It protects the battery from the elements, and the deep central positioning of the other components delivers a low centre of gravity and optimal weight distribution for unparalleled agility and safety.

We make everything simple – from home charging to a continually expanding network of easy-to-use public charging stations. Other benefits include fully connected navigation, as standard, as well as the option to use a choice of BMW Group cars through BMW Access for those times you may need an alternative vehicle.

HOME CHARGING.

PUBLIC CHARGING.

The most obvious difference when you first own an electric car is likely to be the change in your fuelling habits. You'll find that charging quickly becomes an intuitive routine.

BMW creates innovative solutions for e-Mobility by giving you access to a UK-wide network of public charge points – even if you have your own charge point at home.

With 360° ELECTRIC, you can always rely on your new BMW i vehicle, thanks to the portfolio of 360° ELECTRIC Products and Services that provide easy and convenient charging. Imagine not having to go to a petrol station – instead enjoy the convenience of charging at home. You can charge the high voltage battery in any conventional socket with the cable provided. BMW i Wallbox Pure For safe and convenient battery charging of your BMW i electric vehicle, we have a home charging solution that includes the ergonomically-designed BMW i Wallbox Pure. It’s perfect if you have a private parking space at your home. It provides fast charging at 32A, so a BMW i3 can be charged in less than 3 hours (0-80%). The 4-metre long, tethered charging cable lets you connect the cable to the vehicle with just one hand. The charging process starts automatically, unless you choose to delay it using the car’s seven-day in-built timer. Not only is the Wallbox well-designed, it is also made with sustainability in mind, using durable, mostly recycled materials and can be used both indoors or out. This equipment should always be installed by a qualified electrician. The BMW i Wallbox Pure is £315.00 fitted and includes survey, standard installation, VAT and 3-year warranty, subject to subsidy approval (available throughout all of the UK).

With BMW i Navigation and BMW i ConnectedDrive fitted as standard, BMW i vehicles can display charge points and availability in real time, including them in your navigation route, if required. With its 32 Amp charging capability, the BMW i3 can take full advantage of the public charging network's fast charge and you can be on your way in less than 3 hours (0-80% charge). FLEXIBLE MOBILITY. To cover any eventuality BMW i also offers tailored solutions for your extended journeys. BMW Access lets you choose from a selection of BMW Group vehicles if you need to make a journey beyond the range of your BMW i3, for example for special occasions or when you simply would like to drive another vehicle within the range. You will receive points to redeem against the use of a vehicle. You can then book and manage your points online, as well as buy additional points to have longer use of a car or upgrade to a different model. This is available through BMW Electric Packages, along with full maintenance and ChargeNow public charging. Please contact Sandal Huddersfield for full details on 01484 515515.

BARKS AS BAD AS IT BITES The first-ever BMW 2 Series Coupé.

30 Sandal Living

This is not the first time that BMW has treated the compact segment to its customary brand of driving pleasure. The BMW 1 Series, for example, has fulfilled this role for almost 10 years now, its standout position among its rivals rooted most prominently in its rear-wheel-drive concept (still a unique proposition in this class), powerful engines with BMW TwinPower Turbo technology and a compelling premium character. Now the BMW 2 Series Coupé takes the levels of driving pleasure on offer in a compact model to even greater heights. The new two door cuts a particularly impressive figure with its distinctive body design, a range of extremely powerful engines and specially configured chassis technology.

The BMW 2 Series Coupé is an even more eye catching creation than its predecessor, the resoundingly successful BMW 1 Series Coupé (of which more than 150,000 units have been sold worldwide). As well as a standalone appearance and increased dimensions, there is also greater depth to its product substance in terms of both technology and standard equipment. The result is a new dimension in driving dynamics, aesthetic appeal and premium allure in the compact segment, highlighted by the “2” in the new car’s model designation. The number 2 has denoted the presence of a supremely sporting driving experience in a compact two-door car for over 45 years, ever since the introduction of the BMW 02 range.

There is clear water between the BMW 2 Series Coupé and the BMW 1 Series, the new model assuming a character all of its own. This differentiation is immediately recognisable in the design of the new car, but it also makes i t s p re s e n c e fe l t i n te r m s o f performance.

Characteristic features of a BMW Coupé. The specific vehicle concept behind the BMW 2 Series Coupé, unique in its segment, is faithfully reflected in its body design. The two door model is first and foremost a Coupé from the


BMW brand, and the design features that identify a member of this special breed, a three box body with clearly defined boot and low slung silhouette, a long bonnet, doors with frameless windows and a dynamically stretched roofline flowing smoothly into the rear end are carried over into a compact model with greater enthusiasm and intent than ever. The ultra sporty driving characteristics of the BMW 2 Series Coupé generated by selection of engines and chassis technology tuned to make the perfect pairing are thus unambiguously expressed in the design of the exterior. The 135 kW/184 hp fourcylinder engine in the BMW 220i Coupé is making its debut in a compact BMW model, and the 240 kW/326 hp sixcylinder in-line engine under the bonnet of the BMW M235i Coupe earns it top billing as the most powerful petrol-driven member of the BMW M Performance Automobile line-up. The specific proportions of the BMW 2 Series Coupé are contained within a body measuring 4,432 millimetres in length. The two-door model is therefore 108 millimetres longer than the BMW 1 Series and 72 millimetres longer than the

outgoing BMW 1 Series Coupé. The new compact Coupé is also 26 millimetres wider than its predecessor (at 1,774 millimetres), and has a 30-millimetre longer wheelbase (2,690 millimetres) and wider tracks (front: 1,521 millimetres, +41 millimetres; rear: 1,556 millimetres, +43 millimetres). At the same time the vehicle height has been lowered by 5 millimetres to 1,418 millimetres. The result is an increase in interior space and 20 litres of extra boot capacity (now 390 litres). Added to which, the 2 Series Coupé also boasts more efficient aerodynamics than both the BMW 1 Series and its predecessor, as reflected in a Cd of 0.29 for the BMW 220i Coupé.

most profoundly by its precisely tailored package of powertrain and chassis technology, the two-door Coupé became a global standard-bearer for sporty handling and intense driving pleasure in the compact car segment. Additional engine variants increased the appeal of the new model series. For example, the BMW 2002 presented in 1968 took centre stage in terms of both popularity and its success in turning “Freude am Fahren” (Sheer Driving Pleasure) from a slogan into an experience for whole new target groups. The most spectacular variant was the 125 kW/170 hp BMW 2002 turbo – the first model from a European manufacturer to gain the services of a turbocharger.

Sporting tradition on a compact footprint. The BMW 2 Series Coupe builds on the brand’s tradition of compact models offering a satisfying degree of driver engagement. The presence of the 2 in the model designation creates a close link to this heritage. The introduction in 1966 of the BMW 1600-2, for instance, opened up a whole new vehicle segment. Inspired

A PRESENCE THAT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. Built to meet the highest standards: the BMW 5 Series, with its dynamic proportions and modern shape, is impressive at first glance. This styling is consistently implemented from the front and along the striking silhouette to the rear. The optional new LED headlights are slightly bevelled at the top and stand out in its charismatic face. A bold double-kidney grille slants forward prominently – hinting at the power that lies behind it - and ensuring the BMW 5 Series Saloon always takes centre stage. The aesthetics of the front are carried through in the self-confident elegance of the car’s body. In addition to the classic forms of a BMW Saloon with lengthened bonnet, short overhangs and a large wheelbase, the BMW 5 Series Saloon also shows off its sportiness with its new rear lights. With their optical depth and Lshaped design, they integrate perfectly into the rear with its newly-designed bumpers

Perfectly tailored: the interior of the BMW 5 Series Saloon is like a made to measure suit. The harmonious look and feel, the high quality materials – everything is just right. In typical BMW fashion, the cockpit and all the instruments have been designed entirely around the driver’s needs. At the same time, the comfort functions have been placed within easy reach of the passengers. The elegant interplay of horizontal surfaces and taut lines means passengers enjoy a generous sense of space, whether they’re

seated in the front or the rear. The optical centre is always inclined towards the road and the self-confident, modern look of the interior creates a feeling of comfort and security. The optional Luxury, Modern and M Sport models give you the choice of three design worlds, all of which use luxurious materials to give the BMW 5 Series Saloon a particularly independent character.

This new feature to Sandal Living provides our customers the opportunity to talk about their BMW, the service they receive from Sandal, and a little about themselves and their businesses. Here we meet Wendy March a talented interior designer who owns and runs New Image Interiors based in Wakefield. Wendy started her business 20 years ago and has been driving BMWs for over 30 years. She moved to Wakefield 15 years ago and started using Sandal for her servicing work. Wendy told Sandal Living “the service I receive from Sandal really is second to none. Also, I was delighted to take part in their annual golf day last year for the first time. I have a number of friends who have played in the tournament and after reading an article in Sandal Living I registered and had the most enjoyable day.” Speaking with Wendy it's clear that she has a lot of passion for her profession. She enjoys working alongside clients helping them with their interior designs. “Most of my work comes from existing customers and recommendations. I will work on any project no matter what size. I have designed three different homes for one client.”

Her beloved BMW is her “workhorse”. Wendy said “everything about my BMW works so well. I wanted a Saloon and the option to drop the rear seats which allows me to carry everything I need with ease. Every BMW I have owned has been so reliable and I couldn't be without it. I do honestly love it and think this is the best one I have owned. The colour is just stunning!” Wendy feels very fortunate to have such a wonderful job with clients that are more like friends and she shares a real passion for design and mentioned “I drive to see clients all over the country, the comfort and ride quality of the BMW make the journeys enjoyable and relaxing. I do get a lot of compliments about the car and I tell people how proud I am of it.” When asking what her dream car would be she said “definitely a BMW and definitely a convertible, the 6 Series may be a little big for me but I could see myself in a 4 Series Convertible.”

IMPOSSIBLE TO IGNORE. The new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo. Different needs require different solutions, which is why the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo comes with a two-part tailgate. Jackets, coats, briefcases and laptops can be stored quickly and easily in the boot via the small section of the tailgate. When transporting larger luggage items such as bicycles and suitcases, the entire tailgate can be opened by pressing a button on the key. The partition wall separates the luggage compartment from the cabin interior protecting passengers from cold air, noise and odours. In three steps you can extend the 500 litres of boot space by moving the rear-seat bench forward. And there’s no need to worry about passenger comfort because occupants still have as much legroom as in a 5 Series saloon. Folding down the 40:20:40 divisible rear-seat bench, or the individual seats, increases space even further to an amazing 1,700 litres.

Fastening points and straps as well as storage compartments ensure everything stays in its place throughout the journey. The comfort of a saloon with the spaciousness of an estate vehicle expertly combined. In addition to the very clever splitting tailgate, one of the other innovate items that Sandal Living loves on the new BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo is the multifunctional instrument display. With its 10.2" Black Panel Technology screen it offers an impressive visual presentation of your driving experience. Three different modes and their specific features can be displayed in the instrument cluster with adapted colours and graphics in each case for Comfort, ECO PRO and Sport modes.

Gran Coupé

Inspired by the power and beauty of water in motion, the soft flowing lines of the BMW 6 Series Coupé merge into pure dynamics. Extended and elegant, with a perfectly designed coupé roof line, the new BMW 6 Series Coupé appears both athletic and elegant. The distinct styling, long wheelbase and the compact front complement each other with dynamic shapes. The bonnet arches powerfully over the front axle and then swoops downwards towards the kidney grille. The coupé roof line encloses the passenger compartment and leads in one graceful curve to the broad, muscular rear.

The smooth contours of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé combine exclusive elegance with agile dynamics and striking design. Let your gaze wander from the striking front to the dynamically curved body and on to the broad, powerful rear. The third brake light extends across the entire width of the upper roof, giving the car a unique appearance from behind. The flat proportions, long bonnet and recessed passenger cell form a captivating silhouette that exudes style and individuality. The sporty rear seats ensure two passengers enjoy a comfortable ride, while the 4+1 version of the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupé can accommodate up to three people in the back over short distances.
