Chookleng,
As the civic is so new, the car seller just told me to add the 110,000.00. Since my civic has been pay off. I think the resale price for the civic 2006 should be around 85,000 to 105,000. So I think I bought my bimmer for either 195,000.00 or 215,000.00.

bmw7833, correct me if i'm wrong. I think most of the recond UK spec bimmer are from Singapore. In Sarawak, the car dealer either order bimmer from Japan or Singapore but sometimes brand new from Brunei. If from Brunei, the tax will be very high as it will not be with recond AP but import baru AP.

Chookleng,
Actually this car dealer is a good friend of mine and I have bought quite a few cars from him. The last bimmer I own also from him. He's the gentleman type of person. I think he is taking my civic for 110K as he did offer me couple of months back to trade-in for a bimmer too japan spec selling at 220K but the condition wasn't good. It has 48K milage and the interior quite dirty and almost the whole car need to be respray.
How much did you bought yours. I understand that in KL for local AP the bimmer is more expensive that those from Kuching. I think I have bought it cheap as the saleman who is taking care for the registration was suprise his boss offer me this price.
I think it could be, he heard wind I was looking around other show room for a bimmer.

Wow 300k and 50k different, but then you have at lleast enjoy the ride for the last 2 yrs while i'm just counting my money to save enough for buying me a bimmer. 
Anywhere paying a little more is not a problem. Main thing is the condition of the car, type that you love. I only manage to drive my bimmer for a couple of hours and had to fly to China to work and it very comfortable compare to my last E46. Of fcourse the 525i has no rims & low profile tyres on her yet.
On my way back from China, will stay 2-3 days in KL to source for some accessories for my bimmer.
Had order a set of Work VS rims from Japan & will take 2-3 months to get them as are to be custom made. The Japanese gave me the rim spec as follow.
Front 19" x 8.5" & rear 19" x 10" and the tyre for the front is either 19x35x235/19x35x245 & rear 19x30x275/19x30x285.

Actually can buy the Work VS in the shop which has ready made one but then the off-set is not really max. If it's custom made which is the same price as ready made, you can get the japanese engineer to max the rim polish metal to make the rim looks wide without tyre touching you rinner mudguard where needs to grind or jack with roller. Here are a pic or two for your viewing and hope you like it. My bimmer doesn't have bluetooth for hand phone. Mine is with the N52 engine model. How do we know if there is bluetooth. What the Nav do. Sorry I'm very new on this stuff.
