There's hardly anything newsworthy this week, but there's plenty of cars to go through. In this episode, we discuss the brand new Proton X50, a new trim-level for the Ford Ranger and Mercedes-Benz's baby 7-seater GLB. We then step into the RM1 million range by discussing the Mercedes-Benz G350d, the all-electric Porsche Taycan, McLaren 765LT and the Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

For our Used Car guide, Ariff pours his heart out and rambles on about one of his childhood dream cars: the BMW E46 3-series. With prices between RM18,000 - RM32,000, the E46 is currently fantastic value for car of its specification pedigree. Built between 1998 and 2004, this era of 3-series was the most popular of its kind, and is often considered as one of the greatest BMWs ever made. If you're looking for something fast, fun, simple to work on, and relatively cheap to run, look no further than this.
