Read MoreSupercharged Saloon! // BMW M3 on ADV.1
Mention ‘performance car’ and most Indonesians would associate the term with a two-door body style. Yes, the coupes/cabrios, which often comes with four-seats, yet quite a huge hassle to get into. Only a select few would associate the term with saloons – except today’s M3 owner, whose performance ride of choice is peculiarly standing apart from the rest. At first …
Read MoreStunner Shade // Frozen Grey M3 on Zito Wheels
When a grey coloured car comes into view, one would most often than not perceive it as bleak and dull, considering that it stands right in the middle of the spectrum; that is, neither black nor white.

Read MoreLEVEL one JAPAN // Night Photoshoot
I’m pretty sure you’ve seen one of the crews’ cars in Instagram or StanceNation before.

Read MoreSubtle Speeds // BMW M3 Sedan on Vorsteiner
One generation of M3 worth to be remembered is this last-V8 version: the E9x. It is also the last M3 to come in two different platforms: 2-door coupe and 4-door sedan.

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.

Read MoreGoing 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 …
Read MoreStorming 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.
