[QUOTE="thule, post: 361256, member: 14511"] Welcome to The Club!!!! :top: Your parents have made a wide decision :D so did you get to drive it once in a while too?? Will try to answer your questions: 1) Since the E60 is Japanese specs... things that are different compared to those Hi-Line or SE models are the semi-bucket seats, aluminium trim rather than wooden trim for its interior, don't have to elaborate much on bodykit... but your car comes with M-Sport suspension that lowers your car by 15mm (if not mistaken) and also Run-Flat-Tyres (RFT) that makes the ride more bumpy compared to normal tyres... 2) This question is quite subjective.. really!!! If you parents like to listen to radio, then it is best to change the whole CCC. But the cost might set you back at RM8k to RM10k... unless they are content with listening to CDs only. 3) Once you have change the whole CCC... you will also solve the Sat Nav problem. If you didn't change the CCC, the current Sat Nav is useless. So no GPS, no radio... 4) About manual, you can try to ask from AB, Ingress or Sapura... but I don't know if they get one for you... and if they do, normally they will charge. When I bought my E60 Japanese specs.. the sales exec actually photostat a copy for me :top: 5) just remove the phone-bit... practically useless coz it only works with Japanese phones. 6) If your car is unregistered when you bought it, remember to see if they change the transmission oil, brake oil, coolant, engine oil... coz the car is already 4 years old... also check the spark plugs too... Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
