‘Boss’ and his BMW

His new wheels draw more than a second look. Suave and stylish Akkineni Nagarjuna gleams at the mention of his new sports icon from BMW. The ‘Boss’ became the proud owner of a flashy BMW M6 Coupe in the State and can’t stop raving about it.

“It is a technology marvel,” says the star who took delivery of the speed machine on Wednesday. Imported from Germany, the Rs.1.25 crore silver metallic grey beauty comes with a five-litre under its hood, a seven-speed M drive logic for advanced transmission to help change gears in milliseconds and other hi-tech features. “If you ask me the logic in buying a BMW sports car I have no answer. I was simply floored by its innovative and safety features,” he says. The ‘Boss’ sure is all set to zip on the city roads in his flashy BMW.
