Halo Effects // BMW M4 on ADV.1
The ///M that reigns. Ever since BMW M division’s establishment in 1972, they’ve developed quite several tuned, high performance BMW vehicles for the streets. The first being the M1 in 1978, followed by the M5353i (1979) and many more M-models throughout the decades, including the critically questioned X6M and X5M. Despite all these M-models, there’s always this one golden child …

Change for Good // Jonathan’s M Edition 325i on Vorsteiner
Life is short. Yes it is. Birth, childhood, teenager, young adult, adulthood, midlife, late adulthood, and wrapped up by death. Sometimes death can even come anywhere in between. So what do we do now? Taking ourselves to our full potential and doing the best in everything we do. All while enjoying the fruits of our labor. When it comes to …

Excitingly Brave // BMW 435i on ADV.1
Red. The colour of luck, energy, warmth and assertive-attitudes. Both in the Eastern cultures and Western studies, red represents one of the most adventurous personalities in existence. Some of the most venomous animals on land came in a wide variety of reds. Flames and fire blazes come in all different shades of red. Unmistakably, researchers have pointed out that red …

Mighty One // BMW 135i on PUR
The caterpillars. Some find them cute. Others like me, however, are keeping a distance from them. Not only because of their looks, but also because of their well-known defense mechanism, which would result in severe itch. Yet despite all that, they do look rather pretty thanks to all their cheerful colors and body patterns. They come in, green, yellow, black, …

Super Tourer // BMW M6 on BBS
Mis-Identity. These days we’ve been seeing more and more innovative cars being developed by automakers to fulfil the gaps in their product lineup. Mostly to cater the niche markets. For example, BMW has the 5 Series Gran Turismo, which they called the Progressive Activity Sedan. Then there’s also the 3 Series Gran Turismo, a smaller Progressive Activity Sedan perhaps? Don’t …

Global Challenger // William’s E60 on Rennen Forged

Population size was 249.9 million people in 2013 and there were more than 500 different dialects being spoken. A country of diversity. An archipelago of beauty. A growing giant in technology. It doesn’t take a …

Perfect Me // BMW F10 5-Series on BC Forged
“If you don’t look back after parking your car… You didn’t buy the right one.” Experience. Preference. Variance. The way we live. The things we like. The people we grew up with. All these have directly influenced our decisions in finding the ‘right one’. The right car. Millions of variables nowadays have been engineered to form a single car. A …

Against Time // 645Ci on ADV.1
Timeless. Defined by Merriam-Webster as, “not restricted to a particular time or date”; only a few could achieve this status. Have a look at Chuck Taylors’ All-Stars iconic shoes as an example. Introduced in 1917, it has generated a massive cult following up until now, due to its design that seemingly blends in with every time period starting from 1917 …

Going Upstream // Iwan’s M3 Swapped E46 on HRE
I love salmons. Yes, the fish. They’re inspiring, very motivated and also a very fine example of nature’s ‘survival of the fittest’ at work. Born in the rivers, a salmon can travel up to 5,000 KM throughout its entire life; going downstream to the sea after hatchery and returning back to the rivers for spawns. Yes, only the finest ones …

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 …

Proper Update // David’s F10 on MORR
It all started 40 years ago when BMW decided to make an executive mid-size luxury car, the 5-Series. Thanks to the sizable chassis underneath (also used by 7-series F01 and 6-Series F12), the F10 5-series is the perfect car for daily commutes; especially when paired with its spacious interior and masculine exterior. A very desirable personal space for the white …

Storming Flair // Adit’s Frozen Grey M3 on TE37SL
As chilling as cold metal surfaces. Emotionless, calm, and composed. BMW’s frozen grey color is one of the most sinister-looking OEM paint job in the industry. An anomaly to the otherwise chaotic-colored world, the alluring monochromatic scheme has brought serenity through the most mischievous way possible. Mischievous, because underneath its soothing paint job still lies one of BMW’s best sounding …

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 …

Superfrezh // Bean’s Liberty Walk M3 on Rotiform
Pioneers. They’re the first to introduce groundbreaking styles and parts into automotive societies. The trend setters, the conversation starters, the ultimate attention getters; these are how they’re often called. We’ve seen the first RWB Porsche in Indonesia and its impact on our society was exceptionally outstanding. Second-hand classic 911 prices immediately soared up and people from all over the countries …

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, …
