Fair trade- x5m,7 and m5 for a trade of the q7! So is that fantastic blue v8 Q7 for sale?

Re: Cricket Stars and their cars

Didn't Sachin own the maroon E60 M5 as well ? Now that he's getting the F10 M5, i wonder if he'll keep both.

Re: Cricket Stars and their cars

Saw Virat Kohli's white BMW X6 few days back in Select Citywalk, Saket, Delhi. & read somewhere that he has been gifted a Fortuner by Toyota on being their brand ambassador. He also owns a E60 5er, for which I heard he was planning an upgrade. Don't know whether it has been upgraded yet or not.

You missed the E60 M5 and 5gt along with the Q7. The Q7 is for sale with Audi Mumbai West.

The E60 M5 was sold a few months ago.

I remember Maverick's post about this car but it wasn't spotted much after nor did Sachin ever mention it numerous press events around the new 3er launch when he was asked which BMW's he owns. He said his wife uses the old gen 3 series and his brother has BMWs too. Perhaps this car was for his brother?

Yes, this maroon M5 wasn't spotted much & there are hardly any on-road pics of it, the only reason i believe could be due to his busy schedule! Sachin did mention that he owned an E60 M5 in one of this interviews (dont remember whether it was Autocar or Car n Bike show). His brother i believe also gets to use his car, his Red GT-R was spotted a few times when he was on tour.

Re: Cricket Stars and their cars

I think he didn't want to make the E60 M5 famous, as he wanted to enjoy some privacy which he couldn't have with the Ferrari!

Sachin and his brother both have the E90 prefacelift 3 series. This car was Sachins and not his brothers.

The reason for that is there were hardly any internet Paparazzi's hounding the roads. His brother is not a car person and does not use Sachins cars. The GTR is used by his close friend when Sachin is on tour. The GTR cannot be kept standing for months without a run.

Re: Cricket Stars and their cars

Dhoni buys a GMC sierra after karizma.

According to the article he also owns:hummer h2, corolla,pajero, land rover, sx4 etxc and harley, yamaha, zx 14r 23 total bikes.

personally I feel his taste in cars is horrible, big SUVs in ranchi is the preferred ride of anti social elements, he has the biggest ones

Not really much taste in vehicles except for the LR.
I like him though because he is a good bloke and loves dogs. He has a couple of Weimaraners which e acquired from Mr. Xerxes Desai in Bangalore.
And the best thing, (for me) is that I met him last year and shook his hand.

Those Weimaraners are lovely. I got one of them from a French friend in Madras. Unfortunately they were badly in bred and did not live long enough.

As you said, his taste in cars is horrible. He just likes it big and bulky.
But he is quite knowledgeable as far as bikes are concerned. Biggest example is his Hellcat. That's one bike a normal joe wouldn't have even heard of. And add to that a Ninja ZX14r, a Harley Davidson and a number of other exotics. I've heard he is a big fan of RD350, and has 3 or 4 of those.
I'd love to get a list of all his 23 bikes, Would be quite a list!
