[QUOTE="bimmer818, post: 173104, member: 2859"] Jap/UK specs Just a word of caution...do a proper check on the imported vehicles. Japanese versions are known to have undergone a lot of rebuilding before being re-exported. Beware of some parallel importers of UDM from Japan. Imported cars must not be more than 5 years old (in Malaysia, this is based on year of registration). They buy 7 year old cars, rebuild them in Japan and somehow, they can produce a Japanese registration certificate to the Malaysian customs that the car is not more than 5 years old. (Now you can understand how some dealers can sell cheaper!) You can email the JAPAN USED MOTOR VEHICLE EXPORTERS ASSOCIATION to assist you in checking the vehicle. If you have contact in BMW Malaysia, you could request them to verify the vehicle VIN (they can give you all the details you require from interior to exterior). I have 2 units E46 323i - one being Jap specs and the other UK specs, both being same production year......difference? ..... UK much better. [/QUOTE]
