Changing lanes can be a risky manoeuvre, especially with oncoming traffic behind you - That is why: (1) Our vehicles come with side mirrors; and (2) We must check our blind spots before performing a lane change. However, a BMW 520i driver does the unthinkable despite oncoming traffic approaching from behind: What Happened? After exiting the infamous Newton Circus Roundabout, a BMW 520i found himself stuck behind a Mercedes-Benz B-Class in a "go straight or right turn" lane. At that point, the traffic light signal for going straight was green, while the right turn arrow was red. After realising that the Mercedes-Benz intended to turn right (Yes, the Mercedes-Benz did not signal his intention), the BMW driver decided to perform an abrupt lane change to a "go straight only" lane. The BMW driver immediately changed his lane after signalling, cutting off the cam bike approaching him...RIGHT IN FRONT of a Traffic Police (TP) officer. After witnessing the BMW's reckless act, the TP officer did not hesitate to pull him over. It remains unclear whether the TP took enforcement actions against the BMW driver or if the BMW driver was let off with a stern warning. A Sight To See NGL, it is quite comforting to know that there are TPs on our road to ensure that actions are taken against errant motorists. Kudos to the TP officer in the video for his swiftness and for upholding road safety for us all! Netizens' Comments Use signal but never check mirrors or blind spot = Still a d0uche driver. This netizen finally got it off his chest! I hope he realised it and picked it up before leaving the scene... ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Mention "BMW sports car", and the first car that comes to your mind would be the reputable M series cars, such as the M3 and M4 or even cars like the 335i or 535i. Never will people think about BMW's under-appreciated sports car, the BMW Z4 - which many have cast their doubts about it being an actual sports car. Despite the stigma that surrounds the BMW Z4, the German roadster remains too much for this female driver to handle: What Happened? A pair of sisters took their BMW Z4 out for some errands, lost control and mounted the kerb at the open-air carpark of Kallang Leisure Park. As a result, the Z4 ended up perched on the kerb, lying on its undercarriage. #GoodbyeUndercarriage Truth be told, they were lucky to walk away with no injuries and minimal damages to the roadster. Lost For Words You may be wondering why I said they were lucky despite the BMW Z4 ending up perched on a kerb pathetically? Here's why: Apparently, the driver of the BMW Z4 was driving with the side mirror folded up the entire time she was driving. It was a matter of time before she got into an accident, endangering herself, her passengers and the lives of other motorists. To be involved in such a minor "accident" is a mere slap on the wrist for her and serves as a lesson to be a better driver. Netizens' Comments Plot twist: They are blood-related (possibly sisters), not friends. And I thought I was seeing things, until I saw netizens pointing out that her mirrors were folded up while she was driving.

TL;DR – A Honda Fit cuts into the path of a cam car in an extremely reckless manner, nearly causing an accident. Caption from the video post on Roads.sg Facebook page. Watch the 10-second video below to find out what it means. What happened The incident occurred along Bukit Panjang Ring Road at about 6.45pm on 7th of December 2022. A blue/purple Honda Fit filters onto the main road and immediately changes lane recklessly. This abrupt lane change causes cam car to jam the brakes and depress the horn. It’s a short one today but let this serve as a public service announcement of sorts. Moral of the story There will always be idiots on the roads like this. It doesn’t mean that nothing will happen to you even if you have the right of way. Keep that in mind folks. Online Chatter As always, let’s see what people have to say. True stories. It refers to the Honda Fit. Just in case anyone’s wondering. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community. Join us today!

It is common basic knowledge that motorists are required to give way to pedestrians or cyclists at a pedestrian crossing. Furthermore, it is quite effortless for the motorist to stop, look left and right and check clear before proceeding. However, some drivers seem to have the neck for driving like an @ssho13. Just like this BMW driver: What Happened? The accident above occurred at a junction along Bukit Batok West Ave 5, involving a BMW 318 and a cyclist. The impatient BMW 318 driver 'chiongs' through a discretionary left turn despite a pedestrian and cyclist crossing the road. Within seconds, the BMW sent the cyclist flying in mid-air before crash landing head-first on the ground. Despite being aware of the collision, the BMW did not stop to render any assistance to the cyclist involved. Instead, the BMW driver floored the accelerator and left the accident scene immediately. To be honest, I am not surprised that the BMW driver has the neck for driving like an @ssho13. He is an @ssho13 for committing the hit and run. Here's wishing the cyclist involved a speedy recovery! Netizens' Comments It does not matter if the cyclist alighted and pushed his bicycle across the pedestrian crossing. As drivers, we must do our due diligence and check for traffic before proceeding. In other words, hopefully, cyclists will learn to keep a lookout and use the road in consideration of other road users. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

“The occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.” Serendipity, a single word that quite aptly, describes how it came to be that someone from Singapore could have one of his most amazing automotive experiences ever, halfway across the world, with little to no prior planning whatsoever. It all began shortly before my flight to the capital of Bavaria (for the BMW i7 launch) whilst scrolling through a little app called Instagram. With #BMW2002 once again showcasing a lovingly (albeit a.i.) curated selection of lovely old autos, I came across a beautifully crafted 2002 shot in the not too unfamiliar streets of Munich. As you’d expect, I sent a friendly message asking if I could take a look since I was heading over and by some stroke of serendipitous luck (or magic from the Automotive Gods), everything quickly fell into place and I found myself meeting up with the extremely affable Nicolas Navarro on a lovely Friday morning, a massive BMW fan who happens to also be the CEO of Bavarian Econs Tech Gmbh. What Bavarian Econs do to resto-mod classic BMW 02s is something I’ve always dreamt of and at the same time, something many others would consider pure heresy. They take these beautiful iconic classic cars and convert them into EVs. Cue the pitchforks! But before we get there, let’s take a step back and hypothesise why some geeks like us love classic cars and can feel so strongly about them. Some love the way they look, some revel in their unfiltered driving experience and the rest, perhaps, appreciate their connection to history or memory in time. It is for these very reasons why I reckon the love for classic autos can be so very personal and why I’m certain many observers would have already made their conclusions the moment I mentioned the forbidden “E” word. But hear me out, because while this might shock (hehe) you, as a fellow 2002 owner, this Bavarian Econs 2002te, even in prototype form, was one of the most enjoyable cars I’ve ever driven. While this ex-rally spec BMW 2002 might have left the competitive circuit behind, life in the fast lane for this tough little Bimmer is nowhere near abating as it transitions into the World of electrification. Wearing hand-made Alpina-Esque pig cheek flares with additional girth further added to the rear section, a Kooglewerks air dam, period-correct Michelin semi-slicks wrapping a set of custom-made BBS E50s straight from the BBS factory and THAT beautiful livery. Inspired by the BMW Frank Stella Art Car and the classic BMW Original Teile E24 Schnitzer race car with references to its electrified underpinnings and Bavarian icons (spot the pretzels, beer and Olympic tower?), it definitely more than looks the part. But as we all know, appearances can only count for so much when it comes to cars and here is where things can get rather polarising as the Bavarian Econs 2002 has ditched it petrol burning powertrain for an electrified Tesla heart with lungs (batteries) from a BMW i3 (33 kWh, good for 180miles/290km). While the initial idea called for a motor from the iX to keep everything within the Bavarian family, the BMW’s power unit was, unfortunately, a couple of centimetres too tall to safely slide under the 02’s little clamshell bonnet. Even though the idea of swapping out an internal combustion engine for an electric one might seem straightforward and rather simplistic, the entire process of doing so with full type approval by the strict German regulators and authorities made it an especially involving project that spanned years for Nicolas and his team. Together with engineers from the German TÜV, this very prototype was subject to thousands of KMs worth of extreme testing and hundreds of pages worth of official documentation. High speed, long-distance runs on the Autobahn and continuous drives through the Alps in various climates, this 2002 has seen and done it all. And now, with much kindness, generosity and (plenty of) trust from Nicolas, it’s my turn to drive it. Getting into this 2002 was an experience that, for me at least, felt both at home and foreign at the same time. The door, while delicate looking, opens with a familiar metallic clunk as I extend it outwards before sliding into a period bucket seat while dodging a roll cage, a reminder of this car’s racing history. Inside, you’ll quickly become aware that this is a prototype. It is raw, unfinished, a little messy and unashamedly purpose-built to be driven. Perfect. Ahead of me, a slightly weathered Momo Prototipo emblazoned with the Bavarian Econs insignia and directly behind, the classic 2002 instrument cluster which is where things start to look a little different. Cleverly retrofitted to work in sync with this car’s new-age motor, the tachometer is now a power meter, displaying not just how much percentage of power is being churned out of the rear wheels, but also how much power is going back in with regenerative braking. The fuel meter now shows the battery’s charge level with the temperature gauge now focusing on the batteries instead of water. Every other secondary control on the binnacle remains as-is. Even the started key is intact. Along the centre console is where the biggest differences lie, gone is the gear lever along the transmission tunnel, replaced by a drive mode selector and a cluster of buttons to toggle drive modes and charging functions. I would never have imagined seeing a “Sport mode” button in a 2002. Nicolas promises customers’ cars will not in any shape or form have an interior as spartan or as the prototype and I’m confident they’ll be able to pull it off. Especially when he mentions that they’re sourcing for materials used by the Rolls Royce factory and have even paid a visit to Singer. Yes, that Singer. With the 2002te turned on, it was time to drive and immediately the lack of power steering hits you, slightly harder in this car because of its extra-wide tires and feathering the throttle to move off smoothly takes some getting used to with near-instantaneous torque at your disposal. Even though power from the Tesla motor has been limited to 161 horses (and 170 Nm of torques) in order to keep TÜV happy (due to the stock 2002 brakes), at 1,150 kg, this is still a pretty light car with 0-60 coming up in a very respectable 6.2 seconds, readily surpassing the acceleration figures of the 2002 Turbo. While the power figures might sound rather tame, they felt perfectly suited to this car. With uprated brakes coming up on a future build, this power figure will be bumped up to a very healthy 250 horses. I reckon that might be a little scary. And unlike what you might imagine, this Tesla motor isn’t quiet either, with all of its sound deadening stripped off, it produces a high-pitched whine reminiscent of a straight-cut gearbox. And while the loss of a manual gearbox might be a cause for initial alarm, the effectiveness, tractability and constant delivery of power from the electric motor and its regenerative braking properties allow for a new layer of discovery as you begin to enjoy the drive. Acceleration figures aside, the biggest takeaway after a drive in this 02 is just how much it still “feels” like an old classic automobile. 2002 owners, you know what I’m talking about, the weight of the steering, the lean into the corners as it eagerly turns in, the vibrations of the entire chassis, the roar of the road and the noise of the wind bouncing off the windscreen and through the side windows, it’s still there. The lack of driving aids, or safety equipment and that sense of euphoric dread as you catch yourself thinking, “Oh my God, I’ll probably die if I crash” when the speedometer spins up towards 160km/h. It’s still there. That feeling of engagement, of connection with the car and a sense of wonder as you catch its reflection in the corner of your eye. It’s still there. Freude am Fahren. It’s still there. In a world where these old cars might face extinction, thank you Nicholas for giving them a new lease of life and adding a new dimension to their driving experience. While the Bavarian Econs 2002te is not here to replace our beloved internal combustion-engined 2002s, it is here to sit alongside them and sit alongside them proudly it should because it felt truly special and I am forever grateful to have had the opportunity to drive it. I wish I had one. A joy to drive everywhere, a joy to look at, and a joy to have shared one of the best drives with an extremely passionate BMW fan. It was a serendipitous day indeed. And we’re only halfway through. Stay tuned. Thank you for reading!

With advanced technologies these days, drivers never (or hardly) get charged with incorrect parking fees. Even if there is such an occurrence, it is often the driver's fault - Eg. Driving out of MSCP without renewing season parking, forgetting to remove cashcard before inserting complimentary parking coupon (The list goes on). And sadly, all we can do as drivers is to suck it up, pay our "tuition fees", and learn from our mistakes. However, this entitled BMW 730LI driver did otherwise when met in a similar situation: What Happened? A BMW driver decided to pull a selfish and inconsiderate act by ditching his BMW 730LI luxury sedan right at the nose of Mandai Connection's carpark gantry after allegedly having a dispute with the building's security over $10 in parking charges. Subsequently, he went to the guard post to dispute with the building's security over his parking charges, while his car was still parked at the gantry of the carpark's entrance. The inconsiderate and absurd act of the BMW driver caused a 30-minute jam at the building's entrance, causing traffic to pile back into both directions of the main road. According to the user that submitted the video, the police were called in for assistance on this matter. However, the BMW driver left the scene before the police arrived. Netizens' Comments The mandatory "drive conti but no money to pay for parking" comments😎 I also wonder how thick-skin must one be to hold up the traffic for 30-minutes just to settle your parking dispute🤦‍♂️ Indeed, a special breed of men. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

An act of God refers to unavoidable events that are beyond human control. And more often than not, being in an accident is every driver's nightmare, let alone an accident involving the act of God. Watch this 'suay' BMW driver that was involved in such an accident here: WhatsApp Video 2022-08-17 at 9.33.39 AM.mp4 What Happened? The driver of a BMW 116D was driving under bad weather conditions when suddenly lightning struck a tree that he drove past. The lightning strike caused one of the tree branches to collapse onto the German hatchback, resulting in it receiving extensive damage to its windshield, bonnet and side. Thankfully, the BMW driver managed to walk away harm-free from this incident. Insurance cannot claim right? This has to be the first question that comes to mind after watching this video. Fortunately, the BMW driver managed to claim his insurance under "Own Damage (OD)". This means that he only has to pay the OD excess, and his insurance provider will cover the rest of the cost involved. But needless to say, his premium is going to shoot up after this claim. Netizens' Comments Think optimistically🙏✨ Looks like his car number is gonna be sold out for 17th August's draw🤭 The golden question! ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

With the arrival of the BMW U06 2-Series Active Tourer and G42 2-Series Coupe, BMW Singapore has now completed their local lineup of 2's which quite interestingly also means that the 2-Series now has the most versatile mix of cars on offer. With a choice of a front-wheel-drive 4-door sedan with the Gran Coupe, a front-wheel-drive MPV with the latest Active Tourer or the brand new and sublime rear-wheel-drive 2-door Coupe. For the latest 2-Series Active Tourer, a model that with its first-generation successfully introduced an entirely new segment of owners to the marque, BMW have incorporated the bold aesthetic flourishes of its more premium siblings into its exterior design. With the prominent kidneys, slim tapered headlights, clean-cut side surfaces and increased rake on the windscreen eschewing a sportier visual dynamic over the outgoing model to pair with its significantly improved cabin ambience. For the local Singapore market, there will be two 218i variants available both powered by BMW's B38 TwinPower Turbo In-line three-cylinder, the Luxury line and M sport. With the M Sport featuring not just key visual enhancements but also adaptive M suspension with frequency-selective damping and a 15-millimetre drop in ride height. Whilst the price of the M Sport variant has yet to be announced, do expect it to command a slight premium over the Luxury line's S$220,888 pricetag (S$229,888 for the higher-specced Launch Editions). Both 218i Active Tourers sit on BMW's UKL2 platform which it shares with the 1-Series hatchback and 2-Series Gran Coupe, so expect this little MPV to serve up a class-leading driving experience. There's no news yet on whether the 225e or 230e PHEVs will be coming to our shores but with the local authority's continuous push towards electrification, we wouldn't be too surprised if they eventually make their way over. Of course, the star of the day belonged to the 2-Series Coupe, the most BMW of BMWs available for sale today. Compact, agile, usable and capable of delivering plenty of smiles per mile, the 2-Series Coupe is quite simply the embodiment of everything enthusiasts love about BMWs. Having driven one in Germany a few months ago, I'm already smitten. For the Singapore market, two distinct variants will be available, the flagship and very lovely M240i xDrive powered by BMW's venerable 3-litre Twinpower Turbo'd B58 Straight-Six in B30O1 guise pumping out a stomping 382 horses and juicy 500Nm of torques, and the entry-level 220i with a 2-litre Twinpower Turbo inline-four B48 producing a still respectable 184 horses and 300Nm of torque. Unfortunately, there's also no news yet on whether the middle ground 230i (with its updated 248hp B48) will make it here but from what we gather, don't get your hopes up. The price of entry for the new 2-Series Coupes starts at S$257,888 for the 220i and S$$349,888 for the M240i xDrive. Better start saving then. *Prices are accurate as of 10 March 2022 and are inclusive of COE.

I've been wanting to get these out for a while but had to hold back due to international embargos which were lifted this morning. A Violaceous Gem: Driving the BMW G42 M240i xDrive Coupe https://garage36.wordpress.com/2021/11/17/a-violaceous-gem-driving-the-bmw-g42-m240i-xdrive-coupe/

The following accident is a strange one. Watch it here: What Happened? The above video was captured by the cam car's dashcam while approaching a red light signal at West Coast Road. A BMW 740 drove past the cam car while straddling between lanes 1 and 2 before running the red light at an unusually slow speed. The BMW crosses the junction while travelling at a bearing towards the centre divider. Moments later, the BMW mounts the centre divider and takes out an entire traffic light, tilting it at a 45-degree angle. At this point, I am starting to wonder about the structural robustness of the BMW sedan after it almost uprooted an entire traffic light. The Possibilities Some netizens were speculating that the driver was either driving under the influence of alcohol/substance or driving while distracted (driving while using a mobile phone). However, judging from the strange way the car was being driven, there is a likelihood that the BMW driver was experiencing a medical emergency which caused the accident. Let me know what you think in the comments below! Here's wishing the BMW driver a speedy recovery from the accident! The Aftermath Below are some snippets of the accident scene: The impact from the collision deployed the airbags of the BMW. Netizens' Comments From the video, it seems like the cam car driver pulled up along the side of the road to check on the BMW driver tho. ?! The Mercedes driver should be thanking his lucky stars for not sustaining collateral damage. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

BMW says it produces the ultimate driving machines. McLaren makes some of the finest driving machines for road use. Now, it seems the two brands could end up collaborating to build some exciting new electric vehicles. McLaren and BMW have reportedly signed a memorandum of understanding in March for the joint development of an electric sports car architecture. The two brands teaming up would make sense. Research and development costs these days are steep, as manufacturers abandon a century-plus of combustion engine development. Joint development deals — like the recent one announced between General Motors and Honda — will be common. And manufacturers that go it alone on EV platform development, like VW, will be looking to sell the platforms to other automakers. Both BMW and McLaren would benefit from the deal. BMW has been building electric cars like the iX crossover and i4 sedan, but those vehicles are built on a hybrid architecture that supports combustion and electric powertrains. BMW won't launch its dedicated EV Neue Klasse platform until 2025. Besides, there may be room for a sports car-specific platform in addition to that. McLaren, meanwhile, just branched out with a new lightweight hybrid architecture, and will need another platform to move off combustion entirely by 2030 when Great Britain's ban on ICE vehicles is scheduled to take effect. One potential elephant in the room may be Audi. Rumors have been persistent about Audi buying a stake in McLaren as a foothold to enter Formula 1. According to the same report about the BMW and McLaren agreement, Audi may set in motion a $700-million-plus deal to buy a stake in the organization's F1 team, with an agreement to invest in the automaker potentially coming at a later date. And that deal, not surprisingly, could cancel the non-binding BMW agreement.

This has to be one of the most unique, one-of-a-kind accident you would have ever seen before. The aftermath of the accident might even be meme-worthy. Watch it here: What Happened? The accident occurred at around 7am, at Hougang Avenue 1. As the morning traffic started forming at a red light, a BMW 520i driver decided to perform an abrupt lane change from lane 1 (go straight/turn right lane) to lane 2 (go straight-only lane). Despite an oncoming Toyota Corolla approaching, the BMW driver insisted on squeezing through and changing lanes. Unfortunately, the Toyota Corolla driver was either not paying attention, not practising defensive driving, or simply not fully awake. And needless to say, the BMW and Toyota collided with each other. The BMW driver decided to react by swerving to the right for some reason. And as a result, the BMW grazed the side of a Honda Civic that was in front of it. The back-to-back accidents left all 3 cars perfectly aligned in a straight line, entirely blocking off other motorists from passing through. The jam must have been so bad at this junction, considering the morning jam + the jam caused by this accident. And also, can I just point out how bad I feel for the Honda Civic driver, who was patiently waiting at the traffic light but got implicated in this accident? Netizens' Comments I would love to watch him crawl out from the boot! I can totally imagine this😆 Helicopter helicopter~ ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Sometimes we encounter mind-boggling sights on the road that leave us scratching our heads. What happened and how did it get there? Recently we spotted yet another such scene circulating on one of our favourite pages: The page had captioned it "You can't park there, Sir." You can watch the video here: 298360005_784581842681174_4396976411540370995_n.mp4 Huh? What the! How can? Immediately, we thought that the car had deliberately parked itself there in the middle of the road. Mystified, we did some sleuthing and re-watched the video, as well as digging through the comment section. Aha! Actually, contrary to the caption, the car was not been parked on the road as an act of obstinate rule-flouting, but had most possibly gotten into an unfortunate collision with a heavy vehicle ahead. We have edited the picture for the readers' better viewing clarity. The said heavy vehicle was spotted ahead, parked on the road shoulder: Furore descends. Many netizens protested at the arguably misleading caption of the page, pointing out the BMW's damages and the presence of the heavy vehicle at the road shoulder. Two commentators were engaged in discussion, regarding the actualities of the sight. Some had already assumed it as their immediate and final stance, that 'Yes, it was definitely an accident!' There was also an overwhelming barrage of netizens pointing out the seemingly obvious: Yet another wave, some expressing exasperation with the caption's assumption: Oh dear... Alright guys, I think we can also see for ourselves. Further explanations Other than the netizens who were not so pleased with the choice of words, there were those who jumped in to account for the context of the caption: As well as this "Oh, I see!" moment: Well, to be very fair, not everyone watches TikTok so not everyone will get the reference, so captions like these can lead to slight misunderstandings. Although, it is also not very ideal to use such a flippant caption when someone was just involved in an accident, with damages incurred and repair fees to pay for. Discretion is important! When reading and viewing content on the internet, its always good to do some further research and scrutiny so that we get the full picture. Just as well, it wouldn't hurt to brush up on our pop culture references. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Contrary to what was taught, your vehicle's high beam is seldom used as a safety feature to enhance your visibility. More often than not, it is a visual sign of giving the motorist in front of you a middle finger. Watch how a flash of high beam quickly turned this BMW driver unhappy: What Happened? This incident occurred at a Tampines Expressway (TPE) exit towards Punggol Road. While traveling on lane 2, the taxi ahead of the cam car indicated his left signal and proceeded to change from lane 1 to 2. The taxi continued leaving his left signal and started changing lanes from lane 2 to 3. However, before the taxi could successfully change lanes to lane 3, a BMW 535i emerged from behind. For some reason, the cam car decided to flash his high beam as a 'warning' to both the taxi and BMW drivers. And not to anyone's surprise, the BMW driver quickly became unhappy at the cam car's unnecessary flashing of high beams. As a result, the BMW driver gave the cam car a brake check and proceeded to switch lanes multiple times to be behind the cam car. He proceeded to give the cam car a taste of his own medicine - by shining some light on him. Moments later, the BMW driver quickly accelerated and cut abruptly in front of the cam car before performing another brake check manoeuvre. Was It Necessary? TBH, the cam car's action was uncalled for. At 0:08 of the video, the taxi was already canceling his lane change manoeuvre when the cam car flashed his high beam. Essentially, the cam car's high beam did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING but agitated the BMW driver. In similar scenarios, honking is the better solution to alert fellow drivers instead of high beams. After all, the intended purpose of a car horn is to alert motorists of impending car accidents/collisions. Netizens' Comments Exactly! It is important to check your blindspot before performing any lane change. No problem then want to find problem🤷‍♂️ I wouldn't bother retrieving my dashcam footage for something this trivial. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

The story is that an ‘Ah Seah Kia’ used his dad’s BMW to race along the KPE and he got caught For anyone wondering what an ‘Ah Seah Kia’ is, it essentially means a ‘rich man’s offspring’, often also referred to as 富二代 (fu er dai) . In this story, it’s basically a spoiled child using his daddy’s money for kicks on the highway Watch the video for yourself below Too Fast, Too Furious Caught speeding at 154km/h (almost twice the prescribed speed limit along the KPE), this rich man’s offspring was charged with jail time, a fine as well as a driving ban. But wait, there’s more! That doesn’t seem to be the only law that he broke so far, apparently this video was caught during the Covid-19 circuit breaker back in 2020, where all of us were not allowed to leave our homes unless it was for essential purposes. For violating Covid-19 regulations as well as for driving in a dangerous manner under the Road Traffic Act, he was jailed for a week and fined $4000 on June 21. As part of his sentence, he was also suspended from holding or obtaining all classes of driving licenses for a period of 2 years. Seems about right, this irresponsible behavior on the road could lead to potential fatal accidents. Perhaps his punishment should have been more severe, Netizens called for a harsher punishment that might properly discipline someone with access to ‘daddy’s money’. Its maximum sentence indicates that he could have been jailed for up to 18 months, fined up to $15,000 in total, and be disqualified from holding or obtaining a driving license for life. I counted 10 other cars in the video! What happened to the rest? Besides the BMW, a blue Nissan GTR was also caught on video speeding along the KPE with at least 9 other cars. In an effort to protect his wife upon discovering that video footage of his GTR speeding was posted online, Tan Choon Hwee took his car to the paint shop for it to be resprayed in yellow to evade suspicion. But justice was served when he pleaded guilty on March 11 to intentionally misleading the police and was jailed for a week. There have been no further updates about the fate of his wife and the other drivers. ========= Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

https://www.bmwblog.com/2022/02/25/bmw-m-50-years-emblem/ Just a opinion on these 50 year hood / boot badges that are popping up on new BMW cars . And they are also available from certain places to buy . Note that these are original badges and cost around $22x including shipping. Thoughts on whether it is idiotic to install these on an older BMW 😅

Chiu cheng drivers, road hoggers, self-entitled pedestrians have one thing in common - they make drivers lose their temper and anger them. And naturally, we find ourselves making comments about them, staring and even hand gestures, similar to how this BMW driver flashed his finger. Watch it here: The "Centre" Finger It is unclear what happened between the BMW X5 driver and the pedestrian before the video, except that the BMW X5 driver supposedly gave him a big "centre" finger to his face and "attempted to run him over". This infuriated the pedestrian, who whipped out his handphone and started filming the BMW driver and passenger while going berserk and ranting non-stop. All this while the driver avoided eye contact with the pedestrian and continued to talk on his phone. On the other hand, the passenger, presumably the driver's sister, was observed trying to reason with the pedestrian. Throughout the video, the pedestrian repeatedly called the driver rude and insisted that the driver apologised to him for his misdeed. Not to anyone's surprise, the video ends without the driver apologising. NGL, if what the pedestrian recounted is true, the BMW driver deserves a good telling off. P-Plate Driver NGL, P-plate drivers are usually the ones angering others, not the other way around. More often than not, these P-plate drivers can't drive around confidently, let alone have the confidence to flip the bird at others. Maybe this P-plate driver is different since he's behind the wheel of a BMW X5 M. Who knows? I am certain that this incident has taught him a lesson on accountability - be prepared to face the consequences of giving others the finger. Netizens' Comments Haha kena exposed. Big car that's why act big! "Don't start something you cannot end." - Very wise words! I literally LOL-ED after reading this comment. ======== Receive a $10 PayNow for every submission we publish on Facebook! Simply WhatsApp us ➡️https://bit.ly/3c6JERA

According to LTA, the number of new Teslas in Singapore increased from 8 to 487 from July to Q3, 2021. Regardless, the number of Teslas in Singapore remains small and unreported in user-submitted video platforms...until TODAY! Warning: The video contains wheel spins, turbo spooling, engine revving, and exhaust burbling Excited? Watch the video here: The Cars Involved What Happened? The "race" took place at Orchard Road, where the BMW 535i (cam car) attempted to chase down a Tesla Model 3 Performance. Upon the traffic light turning green, you could hear the wheel spin of the BMW 535i as all 300 BHP was sent to the car's rear wheels. Meanwhile, the Tesla Model 3 Performance was almost silent, apart from the noise coming from its tyres. Tesla's instantaneous torque coupled with its All-Wheel Drive and 473 BHP allowed it to gap the BMW 535i within seconds. I would say that the Tesla smoked the BMW 535i, but...there isn't any exhaust system on a Tesla. How to smoke when there isn't any smoke? You could hear the BMW driver laughing to himself in defeat and telling his passenger that his BMW was no match for the Tesla. BMW driver Could Not Swallow His Pride Moments later, both cars met at another traffic light, where they raced again. Sad to say, it was just a copy-paste of the previous race. At this point in time, you just feel so bad for the BMW 535i driver. Netizens' Comments Probably the only thing the BMW can win the Tesla in. That's some audacity right there. Funny sia. ======== Receive a $10 PayNow transfer for every submission we publish on Facebook! Simply WhatsApp us ➡️ https://bit.ly/3c6JERA

In most cases, a loss of traction is likely to occur when a car negotiates a bend at high speed due to the drastic weight shift in the car's weight distribution. As such, it is never a good idea to negotiate a bend at high speed, let alone overtake at a bend. However, some drivers still do it regardless, such as this BMW driver: What Happened? This incident occurred along Lornie Drive. At a bend towards Lornie highway, a BMW 320i performs an aggressive overtaking manoeuvre. He switches from lane 2 to lane 1, overtaking the cam car from the left. After that, he overtakes a lorry from the right on lane 2. During the multiple lane switches, the BMW went too close for comfort with a motorcyclist in front of it. As a result, the motorcyclist lost balance and fell, rolling multiple times on the road. May I also bring to your attention how the BMW driver diligently used his signal indicators amid all the overtaking action?! Unclear of What Happened Some netizens retorted, voicing out that the BMW sideswiped or bumped the motorcycle's rear tyre, which caused the motorcyclist to lose control. Well, there is a possibility that the situation above could have happened. However, it is impossible to determine from the dashcam video above due to the camera angle. Regardless of the incident, what is important is that the motorcyclist emerged from the incident unscathed. Netizens' Comments And it goes on and on and on.... True.

It’s hard to pinpoint who is at the greater fault for this incident. A cam driver captures the moment when a Grabfood rider blindly tailgates behind an equally blind BMW 320i driver – and it does not end well for either of them. On Tuesday (15 March) evening, the cam car cruised down a road in Boon Lay Way behind the red BMW 320i. The Grabfood rider rode on the next lane beside both vehicles. Upon reaching the junction, the driver signaled early to other motorists that he was intending to make a right turn. The rider noticed the junction up ahead and signaled right to make his turn. He swiftly merged into the rightmost lane, sandwiching himself between the cam car and the BMW 320i. As the green light switched to amber, the rider slowed his pace to match the red car in front of him. The driver, however, didn’t notice the switch in lights just yet and crossed the white stop line, entering the junction. At this point, the BMW driver realised that the lights were not a bright green and immediately stepped on his brakes (even though he already was in the yellow turning box). The rider assumed that the driver would continue to make his turn and did not anticipate this move, resulting in him rear-ending the red car and falling to the ground. Can I continue driving after crossing the stop line at an amber light? While it is common knowledge that drivers are to slow down and stop at a junction when they notice an amber traffic light, this does not apply to drivers who had already crossed the stop line. According to the Highway Code, motorists are allowed to continue driving if they happen to cross the stop line as the lights turned amber. If stopping might cause a collision, motorists should continue into the junction to protect the safety of other drivers. So the short answer is, yes! Netizens’ reactions Most netizens quickly took to the comments to criticise the driver for unnecessarily stopping after he had already crossed the stop line. ======== Be the first to get the latest road/ COE news, and get first dibs on exclusive promos and giveaways in our Telegram SGCM Community.

Source: https://mustsharenews.com/breaks-up-bmw/ Malaysian Girl Breaks Up With BF Of 6 Years As He Can’t Afford A BMW People often consider a long list of qualities before settling down with a life partner. While some look for traits such as caring and compassion, others value material possessions like wealth and luxury items for a sense of security. However, a woman in Malaysia reportedly broke up with her boyfriend due to his inability to afford a house or BMW. Sharing her thoughts on the UTAR Confessions Facebook page, the lady advised other females to seek ambitious men, reminding them that they wouldn’t be young forever. As the entire post is in Chinese, we’ve summarised the post in English below. Breaks up with boyfriend as he can’t afford a house or BMW On 18 Feb, the anonymous OP posted that she met her 28-year-old boyfriend in college. Although their relationship lasted for 6 years, she had difficulties imagining a future with him. In her words, It seems the OP values some degree of stability, and her ex-boyfriend’s financial situation wasn’t impressive enough. Pursued by her boss After breaking up, the woman shared that she soon entered a new relationship with her ‘ideal’ man—her superior. According to the post, the OP’s boss recently asked her out, and she accepted the invitation. The 30-year-old man reportedly has a house worth ~S$193,000 (RM600,000), a Tesla car, savings, and investments in stocks—qualities she claimed were indicative of a rich and ‘stable’ man. Advised women to seek successful men Besides sharing her love life, the OP also advised other ladies to seek men with successful careers. Reminding ladies that they wouldn’t be young forever, the OP said they shouldn’t waste their time on “men with no future”. She ended the post with an undoubtedly controversial opinion, Relationships are about building a life together In all honesty, this post could have been a troll story shared to an anonymous confessions page to rile netizens up and spark a debate. But if it were real, we find it deeply concerning that people continue to equate another person’s worth to the money they earn. While material objects are nice to have, we believe that relationships are about building a life together with our partners at the end of the day. It’s also high time for us to be independent and ensure that we can sustain the lifestyles we desire. After all, if we’re unable to afford certain luxuries of life on our own, who are we to demand it from our partners?

A front-wheel drive BMW hot hatch? You bet. And with the new Mk8 Golf GTI being a bit of a letdown, the new 128ti might just be the best German hot hatch on sale. So here are the numbers: the 128ti packs a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine producing 265hp and 400Nm of torque, making it a fair bit more powerful than the Golf GTI. Power is sent to the front wheels through an eight-speed automatic (no manual here, sadly) and it'll go from 0-62mph in 6.1 seconds with a little help from launch control. You also get beefier brakes and an updated suspension setup over the standard 1 Series for a sportier drive, plus an M Sport body kit that matches the look of the M135i super hatch. It all sounds very promising, so can it take the fight to the legendary Golf GTI?

The roof and wing would be carbon fiber to save weight. Source: https://www.motor1.com/news/578238/toyota-grmn-supra-rumor-530-hp/ The rumor mill is grinding away again about the Toyota Supra getting a high-performance GRMN variant. Japan's Spyder7 claims the sporty model uses a variant of the BMW S58 engine from the M3 and M4 that allegedly produces 533 horsepower (397 kilowatts). The more powerful Supra would allegedly exclusively be available with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, according to Spyder7's rumor. The GRMN would be rear-wheel drive in standard form, but all-wheel drive might be an option. The GRMN Supra would reportedly gain a hood with a scoop to send cool air to the engine. There would also be a more aggressive front fascia. The roof and rear wing are allegedly carbon fiber. The meaner Supra might arrive as soon as early 2023, according to this rumor. At least in Japan, pricing would start at around 10 million yen ($80,812 at current exchange rates). It's worth noting that Spyder7 doesn't cite a specific source for where this info comes from. A translation of the story simply says that the details are "based on the latest information obtained." We have to take things with a grain of salt for now. Rumors about the GRMN have circulated for years. Most of them suggest the hotter model would use the BMW S58 powerplant. Although, the older reports say the mill would have 503 hp (375 kW) like in the Competition variants of the M3 and M4. Other reports about the Supra's future indicate that a variant with a six-speed manual is coming for the six-cylinder, too. The three-pedal layout might even be available as soon as the 2023 model. The evidence comes from screenshots that appear to possibly be from an internal communication showing the changes for the new model year. However, anyone could make images like this, so we can't put all of our faith into their accuracy. The screenshots indicated Toyota's official announcement of the six-speed Supra was coming on April 28. Production would start in Austria in July, and the vehicles would begin arriving in showrooms in October. At least in Japan, there would allegedly be a special Supra with the six-speed manual. The Matte White Edition would have an exclusive exterior color and tan leather for the interior upholstery. What! I hope this is real!
