BMW 545i was the top of the range (excluding the M5, obviously) pre-facelift E60 5-Series. Auto Bavaria imported them here officially way back in 2004 for RM606,000. 4.4litre V8 making 333bhp, 0-100kp/h in 5.6 seconds, way faster than its closest rival, the Mercedes E500 with its 306bhp 5.0litre V8, 0-100 in 5.8 seconds.

It has since been replaced by the 550i - 367bhp/4.8litre V8, while Mercedes rolled out its new E500 (badged E550 in the States) - 388bhp/5.5litre V8.

Fugly as hell Kancil. I would love to see this car's brakes burst into flames coming down a hill (heavy braking, wouldn't agree with the rims' lack of cooling vents).

But then again a Kancil's weight is pretty much negligible so brake ventilation wouldn't be a problem. Well anyways, it's one heck of an ugly car.

You can't afford anything other than a Kancil, fine, live with it. Don't go and spend lots of money on making it worse than it already is.

The Mitsuoka Orochi is available here for RM1,025,000. That's right, a shade over a Million bucks. Madness eh?

And it's not fast either, with only 230bhp available on tap from the Toyota sourced 3.3l V6 engine (straight off the previous generation Camry V6).

So not exactly a thoroughbred supercar then.

Rear wheel drive, mid-engine, and a 5 speed automatic gearbox (also sourced from Toyota).

Err sorry guys, there is no way that that's an SL55 AMG.

It's probably just a regular pre-first facelift SL350/SL500.

There has been two facelifts for this model, this car is the original version. Note the front grille - 4 slats compared to the 3 in the facelifted model. Plus the front and rear lights are of the first version too.

The bodykit is all well and done, though the front bumper doesn't tally with the badge. That's the SL65 AMG's front bumper, not SL55 (notice the more squared-off corners, plus the vents just ahead of the front tyres).

Most AMG models do not have the wood interior inserts that's on this car (though you could specify it if you so wished it).

And it doesn't even have the Keyless-Go option (standard on all SL55AMGs), look at the door handles - Keyless-Go equipped cars have a small black square button on the back part of the door handles. You press this button to lock the car from the outside (with the key-card in your pocket of course)

Well.. Evos VII to IX are always hard to differentiate when the owners tack on aftermarket parts, plus the minute variations of each iterations, but here goes..

First up, the rims. They are of similar design to the ones used on EVO IXs, though they look like 18-inches rather than the standard 17"s. And and it has gun metal finish instead of the plain grey of the original.

The rear bumper is stock EVO IX, though the side skirts, front bumper, and bonnet are all aftermarket parts.

The Vortex Generator (spikes near the top of the rear window) is taken from the EVO VIII MR and IX MR.

The rear spoiler is the VIII and IX design, though it is hard to tell from the pictures if the wing part is carbon fibre or not. If it is, it's from the MR versions.

Rear lights, taken from either VII GT-A or VIII.

The Mitsubishi emblem at the back is from VIII, not IX.

... So it's all jumbled up. Can't really pin point which model this car is .

any classic BMW fans around?




Early-70s BMW 3.0 CSi. One of the very few memorable old BMWs.

Oh thanks

Yeah, a million ringgit for that ugly piece of crap.
Well maybe some eccentric rich chap might find its looks unique and appealing. It's certainly stands out from a crowd.

Exclusivity. This car has it in spades.

Old school VW Type 2/Bus/Transporter

This is not an AC Schnitzer bodykit, mate.
That's just a regular 5-Series M-Sport, like the one available here officially, 525i Sport.

Wonder why he stuck that AC Shnitzer stickers on it. And those taillamps. Not to mention the fake M5 badge. God they're horrid,

Sorry to burst your bubble mate, but that's definitely not a Ferrari F355. The wheelbase appears to be too short, rear overhang too long. The proportions are all wrong.

That's an F355 replica.

Yeah it most definitely is an MR2.

Wow mate, I hope you're being sarcastic there..
VW Golf R32 - 3.2l V6, 250bhp and 320Nm, 0-100km/h in about 6.4 seconds.

It's a cool car, but overall the GTI shades it. It felt heavy compared to the GTI, and the extra power wasn't really apparent until you stretch the engine to high revs. The VR6 engine is a gem though.

It just can't justify its asking price. It's still one of the more interesting cars available in Malaysia, but other than pure bragging rights, I don't see the point of choosing an R32 over a GTI.

Obviously people here just don't see Lexus in as high regards as they do Mercs and Bimmers. Such a pity, it's a great looking car, though ultimately in my opinion the 3-Series and the C-Class are better cars.

Sharp eyes mate. Yeah that's a facelifted E46 convertible, with newer, angular lights. The E46 M3 didn't receive a front makeover.
