Guys, I know the jam at checkpoints are long, but waiting a few hours is probably better than waiting a few months in jail.
What happened?
On 6th May 2023, a BMW 1200gs rider at Tuas checkpoint decided that the queue was too long and tried to cut it.
However, he was unfortunate in his choice of victim, who was apparently a Malaysian rider who refused to let him have his way.
This resulted in a fight where the Malaysian man was being held back by a couple other r
It seems like BMW has quietly revised its Z4 M40i's 0-100km/h timing after Toyota claimed its GR Supra could achieve the same sprint in 4.1 seconds.
According to Carscoops, BMW, being conservative as usual with the acceleration numbers, underrated how fast its M40i's is when they quoted the car's century timing at 4.4 seconds. This is despite the Z4 having 382bhp versus the GR Supra's 335bhp.
Without wanting to go through the trouble of explaining why they were so conservative with the
The BMW 8 Series is making its return. The German automaker's flagship coupe is replacing the now-dead 6 Series coupe, both on and off the track. At this year's Frankfurt Motor Show, BMW revealed the M8 GTE, our closest look at the road-going car we've seen yet. Sure, the Concept 8 was a looker, but it's still a concept. BMW also announced that it would be returning to Le Mans with its first factory-backed car since 2011.
Just like the production car, the M8 GTE will be replacing a variant o
A couple of years back, BMW announced that they will return to the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters racing series in 2012, after a nearly 20 year absence. And in just its first season after its comeback, BMW had won a hat trick of titles (driver, manufacturer and team titles).
To commemorate these incredible accomplishments, BMW is releasing a limited production M3 known as the DTM Champion Edition. The car is designed to look like Canadian driver, Bruno Spengler's M3 DTM racing car. Spen
BMW has released a video on the Concept 4 Series Coupe - the successor to the current BMW 3 Series Coupe. Due to be unveiled at the 2013 Detroit Motor Show next month. The 4 Series measures 4,641mm (L) by 1,826mm (W) by 1,362mm (H), growing in all dimensions but sits closer to the ground. The production version is expected to follow closely, to the concept model.
The front of the car is dominated by a pair of aggressive-looking hexagonal full LED headlights and the large air intake i
After Mercedes launched the limited edition C63 AMG in Japan, rival German carmaker, BMW, is now launching the 116i Fashionista special edition in the Land of The Rising Sun as well. Only the five-door version will be offered and it will be powered by the regular 1.6-litre turbocharged engine churning 136bhp. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission.
Limited to only 360 units, this Japan-market 116i carries a starting price tag of 3,460,000 yen (S$45,
BMW have released initial specifications of the second generation BMW X3 and the SUV will be officially launched at the upcoming Paris Motor Show this October 2010. The mid-sized BMW SUV keeps its same position in the BMW hierarchy by slotting in neatly between the small hatchback sized X1 and the Range Rover sized X5 SUVs. As usual, it blends in both the new X1 and X5 looks and is a familiar shape with all the latest BMW styling cues especially that new larger, nostrils err... kidney grill on i
After the recent press release photos of the BMW 1 Series M Coupe and announced that the coupe will be displayed at the Detroit Motor Show, BMW has announced that they will also be previewing the face-lifted, more normal variants of the 1 series coupe and convertible there. The mid-life revisions for the 1 series are mild and mainly focused to the front and rear ends of the car.
BMW is giving the 1 series new headlight cluster design (but with the same shape), slightly different rear lights
The most valuable car marque in the world today is BMW. Automotive News reports that BMW has replaced Toyota to take the number one spot in the list of automakers. The study was part of an overall study called the BrandZ Top 100 conducted by Millward Brown research group. The car manufacturers are number 25 and 26 on the list respectively. I suppose Toyota's drop in position was caused by all the controversy caused by its recalls and faults throughout the United States and Europe. Of course some
BMW has accidentally leaked out its upcoming i5 full electric car in a short video that promotes electromobility on its press website.
Looking very much similar to the design in that was revealed in design patents last year, the car carries similar design language the i3 and i8 with its two-tone front bumper and contrasting black vents on the hood near the windshield.
According to Carscoops, details about the car remain unknown but it is rumored to have a range of between 500km-700km on
The world is full of strange news nowadays. A few weeks ago, we had a case whereby a woman in China killed a shop owner by squeezing his testicles due to a dispute over parking space for her scooter. Now, we have a man in the US who is suing BMW for causing an erection which lasted for two years.
The plaintiff, by the name of Henry Wolf, is claiming that a four-hour ride in his BMW bike has caused him two years of continuous erection. He alleged that the Corbin-Pacific ridge-like seat is t
The latest news is that BMW Mini has decided that is will stop development of the properly small Mini Rocketman. This car was previewed as a concept car at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show and I was genuinely excited that there was going to be a proper Mini instead of those ultra large Minis that we have right now. How unfortunate that this will now not be a reality.
It seems that the Mini Rocketman concept will not be further developed as the car's really short wheelbase and overall length (3
Mercedes-Benz's CEO Dieter Zetsche, is retiring and BMW has decided to come out with a humorous video to send him off.
With a Zetsche lookalike, the video imitates the CEO's last day at work as he leaves the company. We won't spoil the clip for you but what happens after that is a pretty classy poke from BMW to its rival.
Zetsche has held the reigns of the company for more than 13 years and has passed on his responsibilities to Ola Kallenius at the company’s 2019 annual shareholder mee
Back in May when the BMW M8 prototype was revealed to the world, it was thought that the coupe would receive similar power figures to the upcoming.
However, Autocar has reported that the M8 could be getting even more power than the M5's estimated 592bhp. While the engine is still probably the based on the M5's twin-turbo 4.4-litre V8 engine, the M8 will have a "more highly stressed version" of that powertrain which will be rated more than 615bhp.
The article also mentioned that the M8
Pennzoil is back with another video for its JOYRIDE series marketing campaign. The main actor this time is a BMW M6 coupe in bright yellow. Interestingly, the car is seen with a manual transmission which is rarely seen outside of America. This is because the manual M5 and M6 are only available there.
Shot in the deserted Canadian tundra with the M6 wearing snow tyres, racing and stunt driver Rhys Millen, can be seen skilfully piloting the car hard. Drift fans, you will love this video.
The ever popular movie 'The Fast and the Furious' is about to come to its 6th installment. As a matter of fact, you'll be witnessing 'Fast and Furious 6' on the silver screen worldwide starting May 24th. As always, we've got used to sports, exotic, and tuned cars in the series. However, we've never got to see a BMW M5 in them in spite of what the car has to offer. With that being said, it's about time the model makes its debut.
So, in this 6th installment, besides other very interesting cars

With an extra 25bhp and 50Nm of torque, the enhanced M5 will be pushing up to 625bhp and 800Nm of torque. Despite the additional increased in power, its rival, the Mercedes-Benz E63 S still has 50Nm more torque but loses out 22bhp to the BMW M5 with a Competition Package.

A BMW M5 was caught speeding recklessly and beating the red light along Still Road on Wednesday (June 9) night.
The 39-second clip shows multiple views of the speeding vehicle from a camcar that was at the traffic junction.
According to the Road Traffic Act, drivers caught speeding will be awarded demerit points and a composition fine.
After watching the video, there is no doubt that the BMW had exceeded the speed limit. Drivers who are caught exceeding the speed li
The German car manufacturer has just published a video showing their BMW M4 GTS clocking a impressive 7:27.88 laptime on the notorious Green Hell. To put it into perspective, the timing it recorded is as fast as Ferrari's 458 Italia and McLaren's MP4-12C. It is also a stunning 20 plus seconds faster than its "normal" variant, the M4.
The huge difference in timing between the two variants is down to the optimised suspension settings, the increase in power and the removable of unnecessary wei
The 2016 BMW M4 GTS Coupe boasts two production car world-firsts: a water-injected engine in the front and organic light emitting diode (OLED) tail lights in the rear.
BMW engineers have taken their 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged inline 6-cylinder and, for the first time in a production car, fitted it with water injection. Though the technology has been utilized and proven on the racetrack for many years, this is the first production car to include it. It has many technical benefits. Essentia
Recently we posted a video here that showed a 691bhp Lamborghini Aventador being barely able to keep up with the Tesla Model S P85D in an all out drag race.
Now, a 425bhp BMW M4 cabriolet is paired to the same electric vehicle and drag-raced to see how far will the deficit in power and weight (265bhp lesser and 250kg heavier) compared to the Aventador will affect the outcome.

According to Carscoops, an BMW E46 M3 owner had ordered a replacement clutch for his BMW M3 on Amazon but ended up receiving a very different-looking racing clutch...
Puzzled, the owner then went to an online BMW M3 forum to find out what he got instead. To his surprise, the owner got a clutch that features four discs. It also has a diaphragm spring which allows it to operate at temperatures of up to 400 degrees Celsius for short periods of time. It is reported to be able to withstand up to
