[QUOTE="abka, post: 625868, member: 20196"] Update.... my reply, and the subsequent replies from them.. Hi, Thanks for your reply. I find it quite funny because i knew an AB dealer who brought in imported diesel model from Europe and sell them to malaysian market. In your first email you said that it is not recommended to remove the DPF, but in your subsequent reply you acknowledge that the DPF is removed from the model sold in Malaysia. Is you answer implied that if i want to bring my car back to malaysia, i'll have to have the DPF removed and have the ECU remapped, but you won't do it (although you know who can do it)? I bought the car in anticipation of the planned introduction of Euro 4 diesel in 2012, which has since been delayed untul 2014. As i have an AP to import the car here, it will be wasteful if I don't take the opportunity. Rather than suggesting a blanket solution (i.e. don't bring back your car), i guess it is much better if you could suggest steps/things that i should do to bring it back. Afterall, it will be another car for you to look after. Could you please give me a straightforward answer to my question? I'm looking forward to an honest answer. Thanks again for taking time to reply to my email. xxxx From: "bmwvoice@bmw.com.my" To: xxxx; [email]bmwvoice@bmw.com.my[/email] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2012 3:43 AM Subject: RE: RE: Comments & Inquiries from bmw.com.my Dear Mr xxxx, Thank you for your email. Please note that our local diesel would not be suitable for your 2005 UK spec model. The diesel models that have been bought into Malaysia are built to suit the different needs of the market, which includes certain changes from the plant itself to accommodate the lower diesel quality. For example the removal of diesel particulate filter (DPF) and different engine management unit programming to cater for the removal of DPF. Therefore, it is highly not advisable to bring in your unit to Malaysia. Do also be informed that our dealerships would not have the capability to remove the diesel particulate filter and reprogram the engine management unit. Therefore, there will be a risk that the vehicle will not perform as it does in the UK. Hope this helps. Thanks!
