X3 Launch
BMW Langley | The BMW Store
»
BMW Langley and The BMW Store
welcomed the new X3 compact SUV
in style, timed to host both a morning
and an evening event respectively. Area
general manager of BMW Langley,
Dimitri Kotsalis, served up mimosas and
family activities during a mid-morning
brunch, while The BMW Store’s area
general manager, Aly Jiwani, invited
guests to experience an evening out
on the town, complete with custom
canapés, fine wine and a DJ to groove
the showroom. Newer and larger, the X3
is forecast to be a top-volume seller for
BMW in 2018.
LS 500 Launch
OpenRoad Lexus Richmond
Now in its fifth generation, the new Lexus
LS 500 flagship enticed a loyal group of
LS, LX and GS clientele to attend a launch
preview at OpenRoad Lexus Richmond,
hosted by General Manager Jeremy
Schaab. Guests enjoyed exclusive Japanese-
inspired cuisine and entertainment at the
F SPORT showroom on the mezzanine
level. Finishings by Lexus Takumi Masters
were on full display in the LS 500. Takumi
is the Japanese word for artisan. Inspired
by the patterns seen in Shimamoku
wood, for example, Art Wood in the LS
interior took the Takumi more than a year
to define. Visitors saw how the interior
wood gives the impression of flickering
flames as just one example of the inspiring
craftsmanship found in the new LS.
