After debuting a number of models as part of the NUMBER ONE>NEXT strategy at the Montreal International Auto Show, three BMW luxury cars are announced to be released in Toronto — the BMW M4 CS, the BMW i8 Roadster and the MINI Electric Concept.
The autos bring together sporty aesthetics, luxe-focused interiors, as well as performance-enhancing features. While the MINI concept is said to be purely electric and the BMW i8 optimizes the company's eDrive technology, the M4 CS is limited-run and special edition.
Aside from announcing the BMW luxury car releases, the company also spotlighted some of its most cutting-edge features, including the industry-first Gesture Control which allows the driver to perform simple vehicle functions through hand movements, Remote Control Parking, Active Cruise Control, and Lane Keep Assistant.
