The unit you saw could be a rare specimen that choose not to have the multifunction option!No, most of the low mileage CBU E39 525 has genuine mileage. Like other has mentioned, you can hook it up to MoDIC III or above diagnostic machine to check it 'real' mileage. I have seen many Japan CBU E39 and almost all of them have 'clean' seat because they have been 'refurbished' in Japan before they are send over here. Most of the dealer got their car from Rainbow who is an established used car exporter so the car you'll see in the local used car dealer yard all looks 'immaculate'.Is 185K the negotiated price. I know most 2000 or later E39 525i M Sport is asking for at least RM189K or more. The higher the spec the higher the price. Where did you saw this specimen?If you are going to pay that amount of money, find another unit that comes with multifunction steering. The cost to retrofit one later will be quite high so it not worth the trouble. Also, if you are looking for M Sport edition, look for UK spec because the TV/DVD functions are all in English. Those from Japan are not easy to decipher unless you read Japanese. I think there is an option to change it to English but I have not found out how (yet).</blockquote>
