Bayern Munich's four summer signings -- Luca Toni, Miroslav Klose, Hamit Altintop and Ze Roberto -- all scored to put their side top of the Bundesliga with a 4-1 win at Karlsruhe on Sunday.
Toni scored his fourth goal of the season with a deft chip over Karlsruhe 'keeper Markus Miller in the fifth minute, while Miroslav Klose followed up Miller's save from an Altintop shot to poach his fifth goal this term.
Altintop claimed his third goal in a Bayern shirt just four minutes into the second half, so between them Toni, Klose and Altintop have now scored 12 of their side's 16 goals this season.
Bayern Munich captain Oliver Kahn, set to retire at the end of the season, was playing his final Bundesliga game at Karlsruhe, but he was only tested when Massimilian Porcello beat him as the home side pulled a goal back.
And midfielder Ze Roberto, back after a season in Brazil, wrapped up the scoring with a well-timed strike on 75 minutes as Bayern picked up their fourth win. Along with Schalke 04 Bayern are the only unbeaten team in the Bundesliga.
The result puts Bayern top of the table by two points from second-placed Hertha Berlin and they can expect another three points from Wednesday night's trip to Energie Cottbus as the Bundesliga has a rare round of midweek games.
