Earlier today BMW Malaysia handed over a fleet of BMW 530e Sport to be used as the official cars for the upcoming CIMB Classic 2018 fulfilling its role as the premium partner of the tournament. The tournament will take place at TPC Kuala Lumpur from 11 to 14 October 2018.
The BMW 5 Series Hybrid with eDrive Technology vehicles will be used to shuttle all players, officials, as well as VIPs who will be in Malaysia throughout the tournament. The CIMB Classic 2018 will feature 78 players, including defending champion Pat Perez, and world number four Justin Thomas seeking his third CIMB Classic title. Also vying for the US$7 million prize fund are BMW Championship winner Keegan Bradley, World Golf Hall of Fame members Ernie Els and Davis Love III, England’s world number 19 Paul Casey, and Japan’s five-time PGA Tour winner Hideki Matsuyama.
“BMW Malaysia is strongly committed to supporting the sport of Golf in the region, from our BMW Golf Cup International programme, the largest and most successful amateur golf competition in the world, to the CIMB Classic, for which we have been the Official Automotive Partner for the last eight years,” said Harald Hoelzl, managing director of BMW Group Malaysia.
“Through our partnership this year, we are also honoured to be demonstrating our vision of Future Mobility through our fleet of premium and progressively sustainable vehicles, at a prestigious tournament like the CIMB Classic – the only PGA TOUR-sanctioned event in Southeast Asia,” added Hoelzl.
The cars that will be showcased during the tournament include the BMW i8, BMW X3 xDrive30i, BMW 530i M Sport, BMW X2 xDrive20i, and the BMW 740Le xDrive. A unit of the latter is also the prize for the hole-in-one winner.
