Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
A prototype of BMW’s upcoming new BMW Isetta city car has been spotted on test in our very own backyard in Petaling Jaya! This white BMW Isetta was traveling without much camouflage at all and was escorted by a white E60 BMW 5-Series.
Haha, I’m just kidding. I should’ve saved this for April Fool’s Day 2009 but I just couldn’t resist it. As you probably know it’s a Perodua Myvi (Toyota Passo or Daihatsu Boon to international readers) fitted with the popular “E60 M-Sport” conversion.

Terrible looking car…
haha..nice one paul. i almost doubt your credibility. last time when i went to town, also saw a black ‘isetta’. that one was worse. the big nose fits the bmw, but not the myvi.
P*g nose…
LOL, wannabes… preodua fan always talking about proton fanboy’s wajalution or wiralution thing.. but they also, at the same time wannabe like boon, passo, and this time even more ambitious, a BMW.. LOL~~ WTF
ReactiX,
many Myvi owners convert their myvi to passo.are they reluctant to wear Perodua flagship?
dunno why Waja owners converting their waja to mitsu.somebody said waja is totally not related to mitubishi.(correct me if im wrong)
haha, not fooled:P maybe you should use the china made NSX morph into the Ferrari F50 one as a Ferrari F50 Scuderria or something
this car can cocok blkg M5 at 250km/h lol…hahaha….
P2 fans are always weird.. weirdo .
I once saw by myself a Kenari Benz! ..
its a junk!
original bumper and hood had been designed with safety in mind but not those ahbeng/ahmad kits and bits…
If the driver want to die, die himself but not his passenger!
minimal kits such as front skirts, side and rear should doesnt had any impact on safety…
nice fender ‘outlets’,hehehe…

Snapped this in semenyih last yr. Nothing new, except that it hurts me every time I see it.
N just a few hours ago I spotted a lexus convertible at SS15 that Richard Hammond hated so much. God, that’s another fugly junk, n the owner rly acts like a c*ck.
I bet the owner of the myvi had always dreamt of owning a BMW so badly but he couldnt afford one. So buy one myvi, snap on some BMW kits and park it next to a 5 series!! Haha! kesian betul…
this bodykit was offered in eneos too, go there to one utama and u can see the demo car with the bodykit, lol.
anyways, waja is related to mitsubishi. its using the mitsubishi carisma/volvo s40 platform. however, they didn’t do the bodywork
got kia sorento with bmw kidney grills oso…damn stupid
Nice one! (the topic, not the car)
Agreed with transformer. All those whole piece bodykits such as GT wings, bumper (front & rear) and front bonnet really unsafe. It looks nice for some, it looks really terrible for others but yet those Ah Beng / Abang (guys/man) or even Ah Lian (girls) still fit it on their car(s) without knowing about what is the meaning of SAFETY & AERODYNAMIC of the car(s).
Those 3rd party bodykits never been tested for safety. A car with good aerodynamic will become having a bad aerodynamic once the owner changed either the front bonnet, front or rear bumper plus a GT wing of their car. If you still think the fuel consumption is the same as stock / original car…. think again. Fitting a GT wing without tested in a tunnel is dangerous. It will coursing the car become unstable instead of having better down force.
A car with a 5 or 6 stars safety rating might become 1 star or 0 star once the owner changing the front bonnet, front or rear bumper. Because 3rd part bodykits never tested for crashing standard and other phenomenal sush as heat, cold condition and so on. In long term, those cheap material to build the bodykits might crack or even uneven (out of shape). Well, then the car owner have to spend money to fix the problems. Don’t you think it’s a waste?
Better keep the original looks of your car. Can save money for other more useful purposes…
it’s just like some of the matrempits…riding EX5 but with BMW logo. LOL. Work hard and save some money…one day u’ll drive the real thing. Just another typical boleh-land mentality….nak besar, murah, jimat minyak, ada pickup and ada rupa macam BMW….hahaha. BMyviW
a serious joke…
ahahaha
BM Malaya? ekekeke
in Saudi, KIA just launched new KIA Optima. like Honda Accord…
Mazda 6 2.0 as Mazda Ultra…….
when malaysia want to liberalize auto industry….
give the owner feel proud of this honourable joke of the year.
It is really eye hurting. puke!
why cant a myvi be a myvi? why must follow others? dont these owners feel proud of owning what they have?
that pict just shout WANNABE big time,at least for me.
definitly can smoke a m6 at highway…
cheers
do anything with the Myvi,it’ll still look terrible,maybe put a BMW logo,and drive like racerboy….hehe
its a MYVI !!! =.= try check it out in google image…i found no photo of this car, which is impossible if this car is exist. The best part is the person didn take the photo of its back, bcoz its a myvi…
Perodua katak + BMW = ???
hahah this is the best post ever!
saw this a year ago, ugly…….
should stick to the natural lines of the car.
wth is the guy thinking?
1st time saw it at eneos One Utama…
i saw people did this to their myvi here in kuching too haha.. it was so darn ugly making our place with sight pollution…
car should be detained by ISA !!
dear fridz,
yes, they r reluctant to wear those stupid p2 myvi badge. its a shame for them to use such thing. thinking that when they change badge to passo, their car feels lot expensive or more attractive.. LOL~~ WTF…. but wannabe always a wannabe, thats my point, no matter p1 or p2 or naza or whatever… wannabe or wannabullsh!t?? ask urself…
ive seen lots of wajas converted into EVOs…
this what i call cheap-joke.. what a terrible looking thing

I bet the owner of the myvi had always dreamt of owning a BMW so badly but he couldnt afford one. So buy one myvi, snap on some BMW kits and park it next to a 5 series!! Haha! kesian betul…
——
haha!better yet, the beemer was intentionally parked beside the “BMyviW” for just the fun of it…hu!
i know i would do it (if i had one…*sigh)
its shameful of the owners of any car that tries to pass off their cars as bmws. just distasteful. yeah, the kia sorento with the bmw nose is totally hideous too. wonder what are those owners thinking!! hopeless cheapskate wannabes?
I pity the owner..He received a full bucket of “compliments” for his ah beng-iness!!
Myvi with BM ‘nostrils’..the ultimate homage..why not? : ) cant wait till that joker sticks a monster Mercedes Star on his bonnet..or is it on the Myvi’s arse already :p
for me it’s funny.
for the owners, may be that is the look they want.
let them be
about the aerodynamic thing as some1 said earlier,
i don’t quite agree.
at normal speed <80km/h, no effect can be observed with the addition of those wings.
at high speed, may be.
but..can myvi runs that fast?
i learnt computational fluid dynamic & made a study on effect of stress due to varying speed upon a sedan car.
very funny.
The transvestite equivalent for cars
I hope It’s Halal..
the best thing about this photo, is that the myvi is parked right next to the E60, and both are white!! hahah..
What a joke ? who is that loser driving that wannabe car ….. there are lots of these people around …. wira/waja trying to look like lancer/wrx and you have perodua’s trying to look like daihatsu ….get a life
As long as it is legal, I see nothing wrong with that, everyone should have a freedom to choose how to modified their car to suit oneself. The owner creativity is complimental.
well yeah, but it makes arguing “we’re in recession” seems…. ridiculous. If we’re gonna hv crisis, n we bash govt for making “wasteful mega-million projects”, then we’re no difference. Something I’ve observed all these while, if we’re “forced” to buy p1 n p2, why’re there more minis than ever in sbg jya lately?
This is the worst design bodykit for MYVI i’ve ever seen, and i’ve seen the back bumper… it’s equally ugly….why dont they just stick to Passo or Boon bodykit?… at least it look more decent..
moha,
like layman said it’s the owner’s creativity. but i tend to think that they forgot the word ‘tasteful’.
can cocok M5 ah !!!! .. LoL…
maybe the owner doesnt want to be called japanase wannabe, so he goes for the germans…
i’d like to see JC put this under a sledgehammer…
what a retarded frog !!!
i wonder how it would be if the Beemer use MYVI type front bumper, and stick a P2 emblem… heheh….
crap big time!
a real bmw fan
i think the driver is not rich enough to drive a beemer ..
anyway, ask the driver to speed till 250km/h ..
c wad the bmw myvi can do …
maybe the engine will blow up ..
hahax ..
I THINK THE DRIVER IS NOT RICH ENOUGH TO DRIVE A BMW 5 SERIES …….
ANYWAY, ASK THE DRIVER TO SPEED TILL 240km/h …….
MAYBE THE ENGINE WILL BLOW UP,
HAHAHA!!!
Y
aiya..that day i saw a vios+bmw bumper…..frm behind i was viewing da side mirror..den think what car is dat?..new bmw??…black in colour….after the car passes by…den i know its a vios….front look like bmw…rear is a vios look.
“bossss, can convert my car into a beemer? pretty pleaaasse~”
i borrow a word from initial D anime
‘like chocolate and shit”
poor myvi driver…cannot drive bmw, drive myvi with bmw look like bumper also can la…hahahah
i prefer bumper from myvi SE old type rather than this type…
play nice boys! The car has identity crisis.
i actually own a myvi with this bodykit, and yes i one day dream of owning a bmw.
let me just tell you that i’m a young student who likes modifying cars and i have a lot of friends who mod their cars like crazy as well.
we play with our cars like this to let our creative side out. each of us like to stand out. how many times have you walked into a parking lot full of similar myvis and wonder where’s your car? i have no trouble finding my car with one look. i know you haters think i’m trying too hard when i fitted this kit, but it makes my myvi stand out among the common. but the common remain where they are.
laugh if you wish, but some of us are willing to start dreaming big and are not afraid to show it. so haters, please get a life. thanks!
PS. my car has been in and won many autoshows. the prize money is awesome!
