Euro plates

So, since when did Euro-style license plates become popular? There are definitely more of such plates in Malaysia and in Singapore. In Malaysia, I have seen 'D' on a VW GTI and BMW. Well, all sorts of (non-conventional) letters can be found below the 12 stars:MY, MAL, KUL, KL, J, JPN, SG, SGP... whatever. Interestingly, they all have black plates.

Japanese cars like to have 'J' europlates.

A quick search and I found a company that does such plates: pickplate.com.my

It's like saying'Congratulations! Malaysia/Singapore is now part of the EU.' -.-

The best car to put europlates on, in this part of the world, is Aston Martin. The natural right hand drive version, especially when it can be done legally in Singapore(Yellow at the back, White in front)


Today, I saw a BMW with an M5 badge, but it's just any ordinary BMW. Well, why bother.
I also saw an Audi A6...hybrid.
On Saturday, I saw a BMW M3. I think it's real. (It will be too much work to change the bonnet, the brakes and the bodykit. The entire car was like black. I think frozen black is the word.  Red brake calipers(if I didn't forget) It was in traffic and I didn't hear anything.

I have seen quite a few previous generation M cars with the funny side vents.

I think the BMW M6 GC is quite good, but at 1M, it's really not worth it at all.

Porsche Cayenne seems to be popular, as well as the Audi Q7.
