Road tax goes by engine capacity (diesel and petrol also differs), so no discrimination between BMW or Japs. 325 varies slightly as old M54 engine is 2494cc while new N52 (for latest E90 325) is 2497cc. But around RM890. 328 would cost roughly double that.2. RM2-3K probably gets you the fender, bonnet and lights upgrade only. And might be some Taiwan or whatever upgrade that might not fit properly (so my mech tells me. Maybe someone who has done it can confirm?) I have always wondered about that pricing. As far as I know, to just upgrade your lights from standard orange to white for FL would cost around RM2,170 already (but this is BMW ori). Surely the headlights, fenders and bonnet would be much more expensive??? Anyway, to be complete, you would still need to modify your bumpers and wheels too. Lots of differences between pre and post FL. Adoption of DSC, eagle-eye design, suspension lowered, faster steering rack, 3-spoke steering wheel, electronic seats, PDC, new 5-spoke rim design.... and that are just those that I remember off-hand! That's just for the standard FL version. If you consider the Exec and Sports edition in 2004, then even bigger difference. But yes, engine is the same.</blockquote>
