If you actually look hard enough, you can find Jap-spec cars with PDC. I should know, since I managed find mine <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. But those are quite rare, so you have to be patient. Then I just changed the CCC (and added in a DVD changer as well). It's not as complex as it seems, and there are quite a few people who can do this for you (like Obermaier). But you won't be able to upgrade your software anymore after this (which is not a serious issue).To me, I found that I prefer a car with all the bells and whistles, so I did not consider UK-spec cars. Like you also said, UK-spec cars in general are less well taken care of than Jap cars (BMWs in UK are not considered as much a luxury car as in Japan). And Jap cars also in general have lower mileage. Note also that UK cars might not have the iDrive set-up for SatNav (i.e. the 6" screen, instead of 8", and no GPS antenna built-in. So adding SatNav would cost a whole lot more)Unless you are Low Taek Jho, spending about 250-300K on a car is a pretty steep investment, so end of day, you have to feel happy in your car. So maybe you need to think this way: when you sit in your car, would it bother you to see that you have no memory seats, xenon lights, SatNav, etc... or would you just enjoy the va-va-voom performance...Good luck bro!</blockquote>
