Abraham Lincoln once famously said, don’t believe everything you see on the internet. The viral BMW M3 Polis High Performance car that’s rumoured to be the latest royal acquisition? Yeah, that too is just about as legit as Abe’s world famous quote.
UPDATE: It appears that the M3, X3 and Volkswagen Tiguan are indeed evaluation units for PDRM. We were told outright by BMW Malaysia that the vehicles were for a movie production, and reported as such. Perhaps the parties involved were under strict instructions to not reveal the arrangement with PDRM. We reported based on the info given to us (by a company official, no less) at the time, but we do apologise for the misinformation.
Instead, the swanky cop car is simply a movie prop. While BMW Malaysia couldn’t reveal the specific movie, we speculate it could be either Polis Evo 3 or The Catcher.
The Catcher seems more probable (it’s even implied in the name), seeing as it’s the highest-invested film in Malaysian history. According to Pocket News, the film, which portrays the lifestyle and car modding culture in Malaysia, has a budget of over RM50 million.
Over 500 supercars are tipped to be featured throughout the movie (a world record-breaking figure), most of which belong to members of the Robotz Car Club. At a press conference on October 4, Robotz founder Datuk Seri Jeffrey Teoh said: “Supercars are loved by everyone, from any stature or background.”
“As supercar junkies, each of us at Robotz has always been inspired by Vin Diesel’s and Paul Walker’s successful “Fast & Furious” movie franchise, we hope to emulate the brilliance these movies hold. Our involvement in making history through this record-breaking film brings great joy and pride to every single one of us.” Production for ‘The Catcher’ will commence sometime in 2022 and is expected to complete in 2023.

Did Abraham Lincoln said that? It must be “The New” Abraham Lincoln in 20th century
Abraham Lincoln the Vampire Hunter, don’t trust every pretty politician as they might just be bloodsuckers.
You are not familiar with memes, right?
Fake or not, the nose doesn’t look too bad in PDRM livery.
Can the catcher be a really good movie with memorable storyline, on a topic that has been rehashed to death by many directors?
Or will it be just a “syok sendiri” movie with the main purpose is to launder the RM50 million ringgit budget?
Just a 3 series with body kit and some stickers on it…
