German number one tennis player Philipp Kohlschreiber met New Zealand’s number one electric car, the BMW i3, before the start of the men’s ASB Classic in Auckland.
The 34th ranked player took the i3, voted as 2015 New Zealand Car of the Year by the AA and Motoring Writers’ Guild, around Parnell and Auckland Domain yesterday before hitting the courts for playoffs for the event.
BMW NZ is a major sponsor of the tennis event and has a number of vehicle activations at the tournament.
