Some auto companies are leagues ahead of others when it comes to luxury and BMW is one of them, so it should come as no surprise that the BMW subway trains would be anything but. Of course, considering that they are meant for the general public, not to mention they have to be extremely practical, the designs are not by any means opulent, yet they hope to increase ridership in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia.
Specifically designed by Designworks USA, a subsidiary of the German auto compan, the BMW subway trains are undeniably stylish. The exterior is inspired by the faceted architecture of the country's capital while the inside boasts decorative interior panels overlayed with a symmetrical pattern evocative of traditional Kuala Lumpur design.
