[QUOTE="wolverine95, post: 416357, member: 19274"] My 2-cent-worth: from my own limited xperience, each hv its own +s & -s: 1) local AB: + warranty + full service records (embedded in the key, even if people temper with the car..) + climatized to M'sia tropical conditions - usually have minor problems, like, broken auto/memory seats (at least on 4/5 local 525i I checked out so far...) - not assembled in Germany..:( 2.) Japan Recond + usually low mileage (although this could be tempered) + usually very well-taken-care-of internally - radio & navigation doesn't work! - not climatized to our climate 3.) UK Recond + Readily compatible systems (radio, nav, etc) + CBU from Germany - usually with high mileage and some hidden rusts - not climatized to our climates - usually drivers in UK are a lot rougher than in M'sia & Japan.. Since my own xperience on the "un-climatized" disadvantages on recond cars have been okay so far, I would say, if you could a find a GOOD UK recond, then go for it! Nothing could beat a German build quality!! [/QUOTE]
