The recent weekend was probably eventful for most Singaporeans and Malaysians in Singapore as the Causeway reopened for the first time in 2 years due to the pandemic. Many Singaporeans flocked to Johor Bahru to do the things they love most: shopping, eating and pumping cheap petrol. "Sia Suay" Unfortunately, Singaporeans have become notorious in Malaysia for the wrong things during the opening weekend. This includes jacking up their car to 'effectively pump more petrol' and pumping the subsidised RON95 fuel, exclusive only for Malaysians. NGL, the above incidents aren't much of an issue - the pumping of RON95 could be an honest mistake from the lack of the driver's awareness after not driving into JB for so long. A National Embarrassment Guess what's worse? This guy, a young driver of a BMW523i fitted with quad-exhaust, urinated publicly in Johor Bahru. He was caught in high definition by a CCTV camera and posted online for the world to see him urinate publicly. Watch it here: *Warning: The following video could contain sensitive content.

Hey guys, i'm contemplating whether to renew one of my company's BMW 523i F10 Highline. Below are some of the mods/upgrade i'm intending to do if i eventually get the car. Assuming the car is in 100% stock condition, i'd like some advice on the dos & don't from fellow tiong chia hia dis. 19" M sports Rims (What is the best tyre profile?) Shock Absorbers/Suspensions LCI Headlights ( The squarish headlights instead of the stock round ones.) Keyless Entry + Electronic Push Button (Not sure whether it comes with it?) M Sports Steering Wheel Chip tuning (Increase Torque/Bhp. Understand from some friends need to change Air Intake or something like that.) Quad Exhaust (LTA Friendly?) Interior change to Maroon (Any Idea where can find for this 10 Year Old Bimmer) Brembo Brake Kit (No idea what is 4 pot or 6 pot and which is sufficient) Key FOB (Any idea if can use the latest gen G Series Keys to Sync on an F10 Key?) Upgrade on display I'm also intending to do my own servicing + changing of filters. Need some advice on the type of EO and Filters for better performance.

Hi anyone knows whether 2007 BMW 523I can change from amber to white halo ring? Is it illegal? Anyone has any recommendation?

Hello friends, it is time for me to change as there is uncertainity around Mazda and COE here. Car is getting 2 years now. Since there is no obvious Japanese car for me this time (driven CRV, Cefiro earlier), thinking of exploring Conti for a change (my wife is holding me back from those contis). But, sort of convincing her. My choice is in the order they are appearing in the Poll. Thanks for taking the poll.

Hi, I have a 523i due for scrap in a few months time. Hence I would like to get a gauge of what to expect

Hi guys, thinking of getting a 2nd-hand BMW 523i. End-2007 car. Most of them have about 80,000 to 100,000km mileage. I worry about the servicing. What is the crucial expensive part that has to be changed at around this mileage? So that I can check with the seller whether that has already been changed anot. Please gimme your inputs. Thanks!

Hi guys, i am looking at getting a used a BMW but am undecided between 3 or 5 series, for a similar registration year, px difference is around $15K and OMV difference is around $10K. When I work out depreciation, the difference is around $1k per month, $10k+ for 3 series & $11k+ for 5 series... which will be a better choice? Thanks!

Hello everyone I am looking for 0.25 oversize pistons for the 2010 BMW 523i. Anyone has a clue who or where, either local or on the world-wide-web has it? Thank you.

Hi one and all, which in your opinion is a better choice??? the F10 BMW 523i 2.5 in-line 6 204bhp 8AT or the Mercedes E250CGI 1.8Turbo 204bhp 5AT??

Which car will you buy?

My friend wrote in to BMW Germany HQ to ask them for the full specs of the BMW 523i and asked in comparison to the E240. The reply from BMW Germany was that E240 is no comparison to the 523i and a fairer comparison shd be between the 523i against the E350 in terms of specs! Before this letter he sent to BMW HQ, my friend was telling me that the E200 specs was pretty inferior compared to the BMW 523i. Any comments from Mercedes owners? Personally I feel that BMW in general wins in terms of the Ultimate Drivng Experience, but Mercedes wins in terms of an established brand name with preferred snob appeal.
