Modified BMW Gets Stuck on Speed Bump in Malaysia

A modified BMW with a lowered suspension recently went viral in Malaysia after it got stuck on a speed bump—and had to be rescued in the most unusual way. The incident, which took place in a residential area, caught the attention of netizens when a group of four men attempted what looked like “CPR” on the car to free it.

This funny yet relatable car modification fail has sparked discussion online about the dangers of lowering your car too much, especially in areas with high road humps.

What Happened?

According to eyewitnesses, the BMW driver had just installed a lowered body kit and underestimated the height of the residential speed bump. When trying to cross, the undercarriage scraped hard—and the car got stuck in the middle of the road.

Here’s what made it even more dramatic:

• The front bumper completely rested on the bump.

• The rear wheels were slightly lifted, rendering the car immobile.

• Four men jumped in and began “bouncing” on the car to free it, a move social media users dubbed “CPR rescue.”

Risks of Modifying Your Car Too Low

Lowered cars may look stylish, but in Malaysia, where speed bumps and uneven roads are common, they can cause serious problems:

• Undercarriage Damage: Scraping can break parts or damage the exhaust system.

• Reduced Ground Clearance: Getting stuck becomes a real possibility.

• Insurance Issues: Modified cars may face complications when making claims. Learn more about your car insurance coverage.

Thinking of Modifying Your Car? Here’s What to Consider

If you are thinking of lowering your car, ask yourself:

• Do I often drive over speed bumps or rough roads?

• Can I afford repairs from undercarriage damage?

• Will it affect my resale value?

Before you make any modifications, use the Motorist Car Valuation Tool to check your vehicle’s current market value. You might discover it's better to sell your car and upgrade to a model that already comes with sportier suspension—without the speed bump risks.

Avoid Incidents Like This with Better Planning

To prevent becoming the next viral story, remember to:

• Check traffic cameras for real-time road updates.

• Monitor petrol prices before driving long distances.

• Use the loan calculator if you're thinking of financing a new car.

• Stay updated on traffic situations at the Woodlands Checkpoint if you're headed to Singapore.
