Modern Tuner // BMW 3-Series on Rotiform

The new-generation 3 Series has become an ever-so-popular choice among modern tuning enthusiasts with its more powerful, easier to tune, turbocharged engines. The introduction of such ‘forced induction’ performance-booster straight off the factory means that it is now far easier to achieve higher output figures from the 3-Series, through simple bolt-on upgrades. A characteristic that most OEM turbocharged models carry. …

Exquisite Presentation // BMW F30 328i on ADV.1

Excellent self-presentation. It’s the one thing that makes good impressions last. To be known by others, whether it’d be due to our ideas, concepts or plain appearance and looks, is crucial in forming good foundations for future relations. That’s why, the art of presentation is the one we can’t escape from in our daily lives. And for us, car lovers, …

A Coupe’s Charm // Octa’s 323CI on CCW

In Indonesia, there appears to be a certain allure that draws people towards two-door coupes, raising the resale values of these cars up to the sky, no matter how old they’ve become. Maybe it’s the shortage of doors that created a very sporty image, or maybe it’s the alluring frameless doors or the compact c-pillars. But what’s most important is …

Euro Highline // F30 3-Series on HRE

We are now experiencing an era where there’s seemingly an endless number of properly modified BMWs. And that’s a good thing though, for there’s now plenty of inspirations out there for fellow BMW owners. World-wide, the company has shipped over 2 million vehicles in 2014! That’s a lot of high-end deliveries (BMW, MINI and Rolls Royce) for the entire world …

Dressed to Impress // Adrian’s F30 3-Series on BC Forged

Dressed to impress. Three words that could make an impact to everyone. Simply put, you have to stand on proper apparels in order to wow the crowd upon your arrival. Casual shirts and shorts can’t do the job on formal parties; Tuxedos meanwhile, isn’t the way to go for the beach party. Frankly, if you want to leave a mark, …

Solid Performer // BMW F30 335i on HRE

Earlier this morning, I read an article about Apple’s development on an electric car. Yes, the smartphone giant, currently developing a car. Meanwhile, last month we’ve also been hearing a lot about the Tesla S, an electric car which has just received an over-the-air software update that improved its performance (sounds like a phone software update isn’t it?). Right now …

F3x Crew January 2015 Morning Meet // Photo Coverage

Aggressive-looking and highly tuneable, the new BMW F3x-platform has proven itself to be one of the most popular midsize-luxury German in our city. Aftermarket parts are a plenty and simple bolt-on upgrades resulted in good HP bumps. Perfect for enthusiasts. Following this uprising …

Imperative Priorities // Octa’s E46 on Vorsteiner

A picture’s worth a thousand words. A car’s build is worth an entire novel at times. Some are entertaining, others are heart-warming, and several could bring tears of joy instead. It’s these stories that are sometimes worth to be brought up, on top of the car’s modification spec sheets. Not to be left behind is the story of how an …

Motorsports Tribute // BMW E92 3-Series Coupe on BBS

BMW and motorsports. A pair of symphonies that’s been continuously formed for almost a century long. Ever since the 1930s, BMW race car drivers have been piloting their 3-Series cars across some of the most prestigious races around the world, including the famous Mille Miglia. Over the years, the team has accumulated more than enough trophies to make their 3-Series …

Contemporary Classic // Norbert’s BMW E36 M3 on OZ Futura

Many people cherish the 1990s. Perhaps that’s because most of us here spent our first encounters with cars during that decade. Or simply because of the way most cars in 1990s were built. Plenty of cars from the 90s were developed by R&D engineers who focused solely on performance on top of everything else; unlike the pursue of efficiency and …

Seeking Balance // Alvin’s 3-Series F30 on ATS

A balanced life is a sufficient life. You can’t be having too much of anything, and it’s the same at the opposite end of the scale. ‘Just right’ should be the amount of seasonings on your food for it to taste delicious, ‘just right’ should be the fitment of your suits to look gorgeous. What about cars? What’s the ‘just …

Impressively Aggressive // Eka’s 3 Series F30 on HRE

In 1975, BMW continued the success of their compact BMW 2002 Coupe with the first 3-Series ever produced: the E21. Since then, the 3-Series production was so successful that Mercedes-Benz, the competitor, spent a billion dollar developing a luxurious compact sedan to compete within the same market. In the 1980s, Benz’s 190E (W201) was born and became their first attempt …

Classical Approach // Arnies’ Prior Design 3-Series F30 on Breyton

The rise of the F30. Everybody knows that the 3-Series haven’t been as popular as the C-class Benz in terms of its nation-wide sales. However, the number of individualized 3-Series these days could be comparable to that of the Benz. We’ve seen several personalized F30’s on our site and recently Winston sent me these pictures of another great one owned …

Sophistication Evolved // Iwan’s 3 Series E90 on ATS Wheels

They say a lot of enthusiasts do evolve. The cars they picked. The parts they installed. The decisions they made. Is it true? Well, as a kid I used to love cars. All cars, but especially bright-red two-door cars. Red Ferrari’s, red 90s Mercedes SL, red convertible Miata’s, I used to collect their diecasts. But if you ask me now, …

Super Style // Han’s BMW E90 on BC Forged

The BMW 3 Series started its life in 1975 as BMW’s response to the world’s oil crisis in 1973. The first 3 Series came only with a two-door version, dubbed the E21, with the very economical 1.6L engine. Not many of us common enthusiasts were aware of this model, because its successor is the more popular model here on our …

Despite the rising popularity of 6th gen 3 Series out there, we’re still finding a lot of great E90 builds that can be featured, such as today’s pair owned by William and Steven. In fact, we have always had special appreciations towards the great BMW 3 Series …

Wallpaper Wednesday // BMW Generations

BMW is definitely one of the most popular luxury brands ever featured on our site. Despite having sales figures that’s only half of its major competitor’s (Mercedes sold 4,100 units vs BMW 2,211 units in Indonesia last year); I find it interesting that we’re seeing a much larger number of modified BMWs on the streets (also think about the ///M …

Mr Rare Rims // E30 on BBS

Mr Rare Rims. He’s like a father to me from another car world. I first met him when I bought a set of lips for my BBS RS back in 2009. He was a collector and seller for some of the most hard-to-find wheels and parts, with collections including a set of mirror finish Mugen MF10 17″ – a dream …

Permaisuri Thursday // 3 Series E90 on Modulare

One of the world’s most renowned sculptor once said, “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” Simplicity? Well, looking at the current trends in the automotive customization industry these days, seems like the same concept is still greatly pursued. Some of the most admirable builds (such as this Beetle from Canibeat) look almost way too simplistic at one glance, yet a closer …

HnP Photoday // E90ers

Couple of weeks ago we did another HnP Photoday with the E90ers community. We’ve had one with 86ID, Morning Call Bandung, and this time it’s E90ers turn, arranged with the help from Iwan of KW Indonesia. As many as fourteen cars showed up on that day, including a couple of 1M’s, F30 and E46, adding a great diversity to the …
