M&G 晨光 x 宝马集团Designworks联合设计 金属磨砂粗笔杆中性笔，笔身采用汽车领域高密度材质PPS-M65、3倍密度材料，比塑料重、比金属轻，使其在手上的重量刚刚好。墨色纯正，字迹清晰，不易断墨漏墨，线迹均匀；360°书写顺滑，出墨均匀，不刮纸，每一笔都顺滑饱满；拥有工业设计美感的流线型笔身，手感舒适，书写稳定，一支笔虽小，却因细节而美。

M&G pens designed in collaboration with the BMW China. It was a dubious claim since there is no reason for BMW to partner with a mass market stationery brand similar to Bic. But my curiosity for these pens only arose after seeing more pictures of that collection— their exterior designs were unequivocally way better than all the previous M&G products.

After digging into the company’s catalog and annual report, it is clear to me that the company hired BWM Designworks, BMW Group’s international design studio headquartered in California, to pump some fresh blood into its ultra-simple line, a young member in the gel ink pen empire.

At least six models of pens designed by Designworks were rolled out last year, but among them, the very pair (AGPB1901 and the AGPH3701) that features a streamlined body molded from high-density resin indeed is the best. The company called such material the Triple Density resin, and it is also used in other pens in the ultra-simple line. Each of the Triple Density pens I picked weighs more than 25g (0.88 oz). Yes, same weight as a Kaweco AL Sport with a clip or a Pilot MR! In effect, they feel like warm aluminum in hand.
