Permaisuri Thursday // F30 3 Series on DPE

Which is actually not an easy task either, especially considering the fact that the F30 is larger in all aspects than the E90. How can you make a four-door sedan that’s longer than its predecessor look sportier than ever? Perhaps …

Deja Vu // Bob’s Subaru GC8 on Volk Rays
An ever-growing trend among car manufacturers’ rivalries these days is in the form of numbers “racing” (a race for higher HP and lower 0-60 times repeated on a yearly basis).

Have you ever wondered what ‘BMW’ stands for? Apparently it’s Bayerische Motoren Werke, or Bavarian Motor Works in English. ‘Bavarian’ because one of BMW’s founding companies was headquartered in Bavaria, and ‘Motor Works’ because it used to specialize in the manufacture of engines/motors, especially aircraft engines. Why aircraft engines? Because BMW was conceived from the merger of three companies, two …

M-SICK // Edwin’s M6 on HRE
POWER. The single most substantial word that has always been synonymized with the letter M. Lots of power. Enough to get you from 0 to 100km/h in less than 4.5s.
