As far as i understand, you can't listen local FM. Do you know the mileage of this car?

 

[winsonchew]

the mileage is between 15k - 20k.. unreg unit.. if cannot listen the local fm, then, it's a trouble.. u listen before japan spec got speed cut??

Bro, I think there is a thread regarding the radio frequency problem which can be rectified.

btw, this ride looks immaculate from the exterior. Test driven before? What is the price?

be aware of the mileage.

my friend is a car dealer and he told me a lot of insider stories, and i personally witnessed someone "tune" the mileage reading from 180k to 50k. it cost RM250.

dealers usually buy the cheapest cars, cheapest cars pay less tax, then spend minimum to recondition them, maximize profit.

my friend sold his munaro to dealer, mileage 160k, 2 weeks later, mileage become 65k.

i would rather buy a local 325i with full service records.

Yes, " Full service record" is crucial. Check the BMW Premium Selection.

Thanks siuloong85 for the information.

You may get the correct mileage reading logged in the key FOB. You may ask them to brought to AB and check and witness by you.
