[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 167500, member: 3592"] I'm like all you guys. In 2005 when the E90 was launched, I had vowed to get a 325 in 2006 during the 2nd model year. But by mid-2006 this dilemma had cropped up - the CBUs being 2005 builds baking in PKlang, and the CKDs, being 1st year CKDs, don't have specs to my liking. I've decided to wait for the 2007 models, whether CKD or CBU, as there will definitely be changes to the lineup prior to the first facelift late 2007. There'll also be the new W204 MB C-class to compare with by mid-2007. The sports saloon game is changing rapidly. If you can't wait, then decide on the 2005 CBU or 2006 CKD. Both are reasonably good value for money especially if you bargain hard for the CBU. Keep in mind that BMW Malaysia really need to dispose of this old stock and get their CBU line moving again. Be aware though that RHD BMWs are not necessarily made in Germany, so check the S/Ns. Be aware that the new mag alloy engine is not installed in all models. Check these details out carefully to avoid feeling disappointed later. All said though, the E90 is a beautiful car, and in my opinion the best 3 so far. For me, worth waiting until I get the perfect one that satisfies from all angles. [/QUOTE]
