The friendly man Ah K said the owner is a member forumer on bmwclubm'sia.com. This car is dark blue 06 model.Standard tires and no modification so not lowered at all meaning no heart attacks at large speeding bump.Cabin looks well used and smoked.Mileage is less than 60,000 miles.The car is there because the owner upgraded to Porche Cayenne also bought from the same place.Ah K advised me to try other alternatives like Mercedes CLS, E CGI and Audi. I declined as they were apparently more expensive with atrocious annual roadtax for a guy earning normal salary like me.His reasoning is the owner replaced a lot of the electronics amounting to more than 30k maybe more as it is embarrassing. It could haunt me later.I drove the 730i with my elderly parents and they liked it. But later, Ah K ask my parents to try the 3.5 Vellfire Toyota parked next to it.  We tried and they became liked WAH!  I told my parents it is 60 or 70,000 more beyond my budget.The range I am looking is around RM150,000-180,000max. But Roadtax wise, the Vellfire 3.5 is so much cheaper than 3.5 car engine! Which look a better deal in 5 years? Resale / engine cost maintenance?</blockquote>
