BMW M4 GT Edition Build

His channel started in 2020 with his first build being his BMW M4 GT Edition. The build was targeted to be a one of build that was aimed at paying tribute towards the BMW M Motorsport division during the time. The car was meant to incorporate the designs of each division of the BMW M's motorsport in which the design was inspired by the M2 Racing, M4 GT4, M6 GT3 and the M8 GTE.

Career

Since the start of his content creating in 2020, he has gained over 400,000 followers on his social media accounts and has decided to pursue content creating full time instead of continuing to work as a lawyer. He believes that the content creating scene in Malaysia is under supplied and he wishes to contribute towards it by creating videos that are similar to popular international creators.

Being a young content creator, Nikhael decided to approach the creating scene differently. Throughout the first 3 years of his content creating journey, Nikhael would often wear a helmet when posting content videos and attending events. He believed that it would be a nice touch to maintain anonymity for the first few years of creating content as it would build suspense for when he did his face reveal. This also allowed him to focus on his Law degree as it allowed him to separate the two until he completed his studies.
