make sure they show you a copy of the grant and if possible send the car for inspection. agreed about the 535i, great car, but a lot of things can go wrong. i personally would go for a local 528i with 3 litre engine. you get extra kit + more powerful engine. maintenance is exactly the same as a 523i. only difference is the road tax, about RM1.2K more per year (which is nothing if you can afford a BMW)
