[QUOTE="BimmerK, post: 331196, member: 15491"] from what i know, correct me if im wrong example, its based on a CBU unit from London then imported to Msia and compared to a CKD unit. of course the material used in the CBU unit was much better than the CKD unit, but the price is much more expensive. On the other hand, CKD unit uses lower grade or quality materials (not cheap cheap ones) let say for the interior to lower the cost of the CKD units to be more affordable. There are also some minor cosmetics difference too between both units. There should be no problem with servicing a CBU unit in AB or SA or IA. Parts also wont be a problem too because both units share the same parts. Weather wise, well, that im not so sure, but i can tell you that CBU units can stand places like Msia too because both CBU and CKD units are assembeled the same way in their factory, almost all the parts are the same, except the types of material used. Plus even before they officially launched a new model, BMW test their prototypes rigorously, driving through thunder storms, snowy alpine mountains, scorching heat of the Death Valley etc etc, it should be bullet-proof. :cheers: [/QUOTE]
