About China's Coolest Cars
A Brilliance BS4 sedan, seen in Beijing in 2013. The BS4 was painted in a bright orange with a black roof.

License plate is from Hebei province.

A brand new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, seen in the east of Beijing in 2013. The big Bimmer was painted in silver with a shade of blue. It had a temporarily license plate behind the windshield, which was common at the time for cars that has been purchased but not yet registered.

An Englon TX4 taxi, seen on a cold day in the winter of 2012 in Beijing, in front of a large shopping mall near the center of town. The Englon TX4 was based on the London Taxi International (LTI) TX4.
An orange and apparently brand new Lamborghini Gallardo, seen on the parking lot of my apartment complex in Beijing in 2011.

A wondrous white BMW M3 with an ultra cool 京Y·YM399 license plate, matching the car’s type. The speedy Bimmer is further dressed up with darkened windows, black window frames, and a set of big black wheels. A very nice package indeed.
The E92 BMW M3 coupe was very popular in China, I must have seen hundreds. Power came from a 4.0 liter naturally aspirated B8 engine with 414 hp and 400 Nm, good for a 0-100 in 4.6 seconds. Price for the base model, there were lots of specials as well, started around 1.22 million yuan.
