And here we have it – JPJ has released the winners for Selangor’s BMW number plate tender. One notable name is our national shuttler Datuk Lee Chong Wei, who plonked down RM97,777 for the number plate BMW 6. For an X6 or a 6-Series, perhaps?
Quite a number of the single digit plates appear to have been reserved for “anggota pentadbiran kerajaan” – are we going to see lots of the new Accord-based Proton Perdana running around with BMW plates? One person plonked down about RM340k for two plates – BMW 8 and BMW 11.
There are plenty of attractive combinations – BMW 3161, BMW 4281 and BMW 5201 for starters. Even things like BMW 507, BMW 2002 and BMW 1600 to evoke the past. BMW Motorrad fans can snap up BMW 1200 and BMW 800 for instance. We also see the names of a few BMW dealerships in there.
