Singapore M Dealership (Pics included)
Hi guys,
Was just in SIN again for work and had a spare day so i dropped in to see the M dealership. Thought id share my experience. Met Veronica and also one of the sales reps Shawn (who is an enthusiast). They were really nice and welcomed me in even though i was just there to take a look and some photos. Anyway got talking to Shawn while he showed me some of vehicles and obviously my 135i came up in conversation. Well, once Shawn discovered i was also a bit of an enthusiast he asked if i wanted to go for a spin in the M1 Coupe, an answer wasnt really required. Great car! Nice exhaust note and a fantastic ride for the suspension setup. He also showed me around their workshop and a few of the dealer owners cars. All in all i ended up spending about 3 hours there looking around. They do alot of custom delivery work there (like the couple of 1Ms in the pics, customer specific colours and aftermarket body parts). Also check out the price of an M3 vert there in Sing with all the government taxes etc. ($422800 SGD) Really nice people, if your ever over there and have time to burn its worth a look.

If you dont mind walking in the Singapore humidity, i just caught the MRT to Jurong East and walked around the golf course to the dealership (about 10-15 min walk). Cab ride from the city would be $40-50SGD as a guess (each way). The dealership is right next to Alfa Romeo (which is marked on google maps). Theres also Lamborghini which is worth a peek after.

Cheers for the pics! I going to Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong end of year so I'll definitely be dropping by!
I'm also glad they are nice people and enthusiasts...... Something Aussie BMW dealerships should learn from. |

I went there yesterday and it's a must see for any of us here.
This was the first time I had seen a 1M and they had all 3 colours there. I must say the black is now my favourite, followed by white. The black one is a customers car and will be forsale in about 6 months time. Angela showed me around and they're very friendly, got in, started the 1M and was going to take it for a spin but someone else had it booked for a test drive at the time. I had to leave when it returned. The M3 GTS felt so good to sit in, and the Lamborghini is stunning. If you've got some time to kill in Singapore it's worth visiting these guys. Quote:

Very cool pics! (got aymore of that brown 1M!)
What was the deal with that VO 1M missing the drivers door and trunk lid? CF ??? BMW NA (and AG!) would be plain dumb not to offer something like this in a few prime markets in the states. |
