Cars and cocktails
The BMW Diplomatic Sales Team in London launched their latest groundbreaking car in style with a cocktail party at their showroom in Park Lane. Diplomats made good use of their after-hours access as they slid behind the wheel of some of BMW’s most spectacular offerings while sipping champagne. The star of the show was the all-new BMW M5, which, with its M xDrive all-wheel drive system, offers thrilling performance and power alongside superior handling. With the ability to go from 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds, it’s car that will get diplomats to where they need to go in a hurry.
