1st of January 2026.&nbsp;Reboot.&nbsp; Starting the 1st Run of 2026 with a 1st half-marathon of the new year. After the countdown party last night at the Marina Bay Singapore and The Kallang , today's attempt is to cover both grounds with the usual 21K route and attempt a no-pause run. Not bad, quite clean, efficient clean up.

BMW i5 (G60) is the 4th and latest sedan to get a full-electric model after the early i8 (roadster), i4 and then i7. As the i series (BMW sub-brand for their EV) model name suggests, the i5 is the electric equivalent of the traditional internal combustion engine-powered 5 series. As expected, when both the i and ICE variants share the same chassis, it meant that i model will not have

BMW has just announced the 3rd generation X3 (G01). Here are the official pictures of the all new X3.&nbsp; Is the X losing its identity? The X series has always been easily identified with its trademark "6 eyes". Now that the "2 eyes" (fog-lights) had been replaced by linear LED lights, will the X lose its identity? It bears an uncanny resembrance to the 1 and 2 series.
