Beemer M3 (4th Gen)

Pak Cik have been telling Anna about 2 M3's roaming in Bukit Beruang. Those babies are registered in Malacca. I wanted so much to witness the black beasts and I was lucky to see of 'em after gym just now, the coupe version. YES! Called Anna right away. *chuckles* I was so enthused I screamed "M3! M3!" that Anna didn't know what the pebble was I saying. This is the 4th generation of BMW M3. It comes as sedans (E90), coupes(E92), and convertible (E93). 

The run down:

The exterior: One look at the BMW M3 Sedan reveals all: here is a perfect blend of sports car and sedan. That muscular front end with its large air vents and prominent powerdome. The wind tunnel-honed exterior mirrors. The four chromed tailpipes and wider rear track. It's an exterior that promises exhilarating performance - combined with four-door practicality.

The interior: The BMW M3 Sedan is as special inside as out. Its cockpit has a true sports car feel, but combined with high ergonomic comfort and fine design. From the leather-trimmed M multifunction steering wheel with stitching in M colours to the special M sports seats or the Titanium Shadow interior trim, every detail reflects the exclusivity and sporting pedigree that define BMW M.

Cabin space: A performance car that brings racing technology to the road, yet has ample space for all occupants? That's the BMW M3 Sedan. Its spacious four-door cabin ensures even rear seat passengers can travel in comfort, while the generous 450 litres of luggage space enhances its everyday usability even further. All that practicality doesn't disguise its true nature however - that of a thoroughbred sports car.

The aerodynamics: Thanks to intelligent aerodynamics, the BMW M3 Sedan not only slices effortlessly through the air, but also channels it to where it's needed most. The intake hole next to the powerdome feeds air directly to the V8 high-rev engine. The side vents in the front apron help to cool the engine and transmission oil. And the aerodynamic wing mirrors and rear diffusor both contribute to the car's exhilarating dynamics.

The V8 high-rev engine: Power all the way to the redline - the BMW M3 Sedan's V8 high-rev engine has genuine race-car character. Every component has been carefully optimised to maximise output and engine speed. The result? 309 kW, up to 8,400 rpm, and 400 Nm of torque at 3,900 rpm. And that's not all: the individual throttle butterflies and engine management system ensure the engine responds rapidly to driver inputs, translating every touch of the right pedal into instant acceleration.

Sorry about the blurry pictures. I was in a hurry.
