Car Spotting In Brunei - BMW M3 Coupe (E92)

Spotted this rare and pristine BMW M3 (E92) just behind my workplace a few days ago.  At first glance I thought it was my friend ex-car that I sat in a few years ago but upon closer inspection I noticed this car is fitted with M-DCT transmission.  The one I sat in was fitted with traditional manual transmission.  These is the 4th M3 (E92) that I knew so far. 

New Cars In Brunei - 2015 MINI Cooper S JCW

The fastest MINI has landed in Brunei!  This is the JCW Version of the MINI Cooper S.  It is packed with 228hp from the 2.0 litre engine and coupled with the 6-speed automatic that can propel the car from 0-100km/hr in 6.3sec!  The car is still under wrap inside QAF BMW.  Not sure when they will debut the car and I was told this car will cost around 75k to 80k!

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.6

My final post for car spotting in my Brisbane trip!  Spotted these cool classic while we were at Surfer Paradise!  Do you know what model these are ?

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.5

We were at Garden City of Mouth Gravatt and came across an INFINITI showroom inside the mall.  Well this is common in some country but not in Australia. Infact this is the first time I saw a showroom inside a mall in Australia.  I took a quick look on their range and found the Infiniti Q50 & Q60 are actually re-batch of Nissan Skyline found in Japan.

Check out the price of the Infiniti Q50,  $49990!  That is quite a bargain if you ask me given the luxury marque is competing with BMW 3 Series, Mercedes-Benz C-Class and Audi A4!

In case you didn't know INFINITI actually is a brand sponsor for REDBULL F1 Racing Team.  Daniel Riccardio wallpaper is proudly presented because he is also an Aussie from Perth, Western Australian!

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.4

8th Gen Honda Civic

Continuation of my trip to Brisbane.  I spotted these two Honda's from my relative house and a parking lot.  I really have no idea why  we do not get these version in Brunei.  The brown color is the 8th Generation 4-door version which we do get the 2 door version in Brunei.  The silver color is the latest 9th generation Honda Civic that has yet to appear in Brunei.  What do you think? Good looking Honda Civic?

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.3

Here is Part 3 of car spotting in Brisbane, Queensland.  I spotted this cool AMG CLA45 at a shopping mall and the color immediately caught my attention.  I am sure this color is not in the catalog but it is an official color from AMG called SolarBeam Yellow.  I have to say this color look super awesome on a CLA45.

Spotted a Hyundai Veloster Turbo, the price?  about BND$28000+

Sadly. we do not have FIAT in Brunei just yet.  This particular model is called Fiat 500 and cost only AUD$17000, which is about BND$18000!  What a bargain!

Spotted a ER34 with a mixture of bodykit at UQ

I actually saw this car in some Australian Tourism advert and was hopping to catch a glimps of the ride.   We were on way way home and finally spotted this cool stretch Hummer H2T driving around Surfer Paradise!  Not sure how much it cost to rent this.

This is one of the my favorite pizza place!  The car is the new Toyota Yaris which we do not get in Brunei

My Trip To Brisbane, Australia Pt.2

"I MISS U"

One thing I noticed when holidaying in Brisbane is personalized plate for your ride.  They range from AUD$300 upward to a few grand.  I snapped a few rides that had some cool plates.  Check it out!

"JAS 240"

"ERC 33"... ERIC 33?

"GAO-888", "GAO" most likely is the surname of the owner with "888" which also mean prosperous

Spotted this in GoldCoast, "BBEECH", could be bitch or beach..lol

"RUNOOO"

"KAI MEI" which means stepsister in chinese

"CRA27" = CRAZY

This cool M5 with "LIMPOPO".  I saw a similar clothing store with the same name at GoldCoast

"COCOZY"

"18-YAN" and  "018-OMG"

"54MIR" = SAMIR?

"FDT-04" I think this is one of the affordable personalized plate, probably cost around $300 bucks

If only Brunei allowed personalized plate....
