All bangalore BHPians I officially announce "Manishasrani" to be the best exotic spotter in India.

+1 to above.
Not only in Bangalore but he has also contributed very good amount of pics in Chennai thread to during his short visit to chennai.

Oh I am a big fan of manish. Totally love the way he shows a car. Yous should check out his photos of the lambo and the xf in the chennai thread. Looks totally cool.

Got this picture of the Phantom from a friend.

manishasrani · 31st January 2010, 08:43

Saw this neat looking Nissan Patrol the other day !

Unknownsatan · 31st January 2010, 09:05

Night shot of a Patrol,may be the same one.

A friend of mine spotted the black VW Phaeton yesterday in Indiranagar.

preetam_KORG · 31st January 2010, 10:13

Spotted Range Rover Sport at Indiranagar. Black. Beautiful rims, interiors in red and black leather.

Pics taken on different occasions. No exotics though.

suhaas307 · 31st January 2010, 11:24

Nice pictures //M and Manish!

Nice to see that Cayenne S and that Toyota Sera! It used to be my favourite car once upon a time! Loved it for its gull-wing doors and large glass house!

Here is one that I'd seen last week:

Few spotting during my last B'lore visit. Hottest of them all were the M5 spotted on my way back from Forum to M.G.Road. Porsche Cayenne & A8 4.2 Quattro at my friend's garage came for check up & service. Also saw a Nissan Patrol with full sticker like an expedition car & an different regn plate, but friend told me that its regular sight now in Blore.

@suhaas- Thanks for the compliments. I spotted a bright yellow Sera in Platinum City, Yesvantpur a couple of weeks back. But couldn't get a snap of it. The Sera used to be my childhood favourite car as my neighbour used to have a yellow Sera. I also loved the glass top and the gull-wing doors. But sadly its rare to find a Sera in good condition now. Sorry for going OT.

Hanmust,

That isn't an M5! That's a standard BMW 5-series with a M5 front bumper and larger wheels! I have pictures of a very similar looking 5-series (probably the same) that I'd taken in Bangalore Club. There is another 5er near my house that looks almost identical to the M5! Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of that!

EDIT: Love that BMW E36 3-Series! Love the wheels on it (very BBS RS-ish) and the colour as well! Nice catch!

That's exactly what I said //M! The gull-wing doors and the large glass-house take the cake!

That's just a 530i, with the Sports package. Can be seen with the costliest 'lawn ornament' in a hotel on old airport road...

Nice pics of the A8 btw. One of only 3 in the city and state. And the only petrol one too. And I have reason to believe that white Cayenne was the first one in B'lore.

Here are some more pictures of that 530i with the Sports Package/M5 bumper! There are some very old pictures that I'd taken in Bangalore Club! It has the ability to fool even the most eagle eyed spotter when viewed from the front!
