Sachin Tendulkar unveils all-new BMW 3 series
Indian cricket superstar and car-fanatic Sachin Tendulkar was unveiled as the brand ambassador of German luxury carmaker BMW on Friday.
Tendulkar about his choice of BMW.
"My association started way back in 1993 when I bought my first BMW. Since then I have had many cars from the BMW stable. My children and my wife are big fans of BMW."
Sachin is an avid auto enthusiast who is picky about his collection which includes a few models from Ferrari and big cars as well. He explains his outlook while associating with a brand like BMW.
"When you talk about a brand like BMW, you don’t think twice. You know that you are going to get amazing quality, comfort and above all, perfect safety."
BMW is the sponsor of the London Olympics and Sachin enjoys watching other sports.
"I am supporting the entire Indian Olympic squad. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to go as I have to prepare for the series in New Zealand. The training schedule has started and I will not be able to go to England. But my good wishes are always with them."

Sachin Tendulkar takes oath as Rajya Sabha member
Cricketer Sachin Tendulkar took oath as a Rajya Sabha member on Monday.
He took his oath in Hindi in the office of Rajya Sabha Chairman Hamid Ansari.
The oath-taking ceremony was done in the presence of V. Narayanasamy, Minister of State in the Prime Minister's office, Rajiv Shukla, Minister of State for Parliamentary Affairs, Ahmed Patel, Political Secretary to Congress President Sonia Gandhi and senior Congress leader Harish Rawat.
After formally signing on as Rajya Sabha MP, Tendulkar was presented a yellow shawl and took part in a photo opportunity with Vice President Ansari and his wife Anjali.
Tendulkar is the first active sportsperson and cricketer to have been nominated to the Rajya Sabha under the Prominent Citizens Quota.
He was nominated to the Upper House along with film actress Rekha and industrialist Anu Aga in April, but had to wait to take his oath until the end of IPL season 5.
The nomination of Tendulkar had sparked a political slugfest with the opposition parties questioning the timing of the move by the government. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Shiv Sena had said that the timing of the nomination suggests that it is aimed at distracting attention from scams.
Tendulkar is the leading run-scorer and century maker in Test and one-day international cricket. He is the first player to score a double century in ODI cricket.
In 2002, just 12 years into his career, Wisden ranked Tendulkar the second greatest Test batsman of all time, behind Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day-international (ODI) batsman of all time, behind Viv Richards.
He was also a part of the 2011 Cricket World Cup winning Indian team.
