[nazrin]

Hi Sifus,Can someone help me to get details from the Vin Code : WBANE52030CK68392? Check in the RealOEM.com but got very limited info....Lastly, E60 525 MSport got wooden interior also maa? I tot only grey/silver carbon fiber?Thanks.

Bro...
the Vin code will only tell you the Series, Body, Model, Region, Product Month and Engine Type :top: and yes, the steering type (right or left)
For your car's interior trim, normally it would come in Wooden Trim (Beige or Dark Brown)... M-Sports model normally will come with either silver or aluminium cube interior...

Hi Bro Thule,
Thanks for the input! But salesman claims this is MSport model! I checked the window trim=black, headlining=black, Sport seat but semi auto, steering = MSport.....also the other parts which can be replaced easily like door step plate, sport rims & body kit...confused...What else should I check to confirm this is Msport Model?

why dont you post the picture of the car so that some of us can see what model it is.

Front, side and rear view. Interior view would be better.

chrome trim for the window is sure give away.

This is a tough call but like what thule stated up there, M-Sport package comes with Silver / Cubed Aluminium trim or sometimes they also offer one with Piano Black(BMW Individual) which in this case it's a wooden trim... But hey, since it has an M Steering Wheel, Body kits and rims then why not get it?? RM230k only. Just search through e-bay or maybe in Mudah to replace the ugly wooden trim with a wrapped carbon or aluminium trim.

Also, the M-Sport is a bit lower than the normal 5er by a couple of millimiters and handles better

EDIT: Done some research, but couldn't find any details. You can always get BMW Customer Service to help you with this...

Maybe I am wrong but surf UK website and they have many interior trim color for M-Sport....not only aluminium/silver carbon fiber..

 

[thule]

I agree with what M5POWER said... actually my Japan spec E60 525i came with the Piano Black trim. But the dealer agreed to change to the aluminium cube trim for me at no cost at all
I think that I'm more knowledgeable in Japanese specs... but not UK spec. But if the mileage stated in between 10000-14999km which is quite low, I assume that this is a Japanese specs right? Try to make sure of this issue first!
Maybe you can take the picture of its seat - Japanese specs normally come with semi bucket sports seat (half leather & half fabric) while UK specs are mostly full leather seats.
FYI.. the sports steering, bodykit and rims are easily replaceable. That's why they can sometimes be passed as M-Sport package as it commands higher value. But one thing is that the ride (if not M-sport) will not be the same as the original M-sport ride..

 

[nazrin]

Finally, I can conclude that this UDM is M Sport version.......got the UK Registration Cert from the Salesman and checked with few websites. There are many info about this car that match with the Reg. Cert.
Fuuuhhh...!!!Lega..
BTW, thanks for all the feedback!

Reallly, u buy at 230K ???

No laa.. The car that nazrin wanted to buy was priced at RM230k. He wasn't sure whether the car was M-Sport or not. But since the car already has M-Sport steering, rims and body kits then why not get it. RM230k is a very good price for an M-Sport 5er. As long as the car is not ''kereta curi'' :wink:

Sorry to made you confused.
