[QUOTE="chaiks, post: 249025, member: 278"] Hi there premkraj. You should search through the e39 threads and google some more details. Here's the basic of e39, [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_E39[/URL]. In our market, there is a huge difference in terms of price and specifications for local(ckd) and imported(cbu) model. One glance at Star classified or Motor trader you can tell the price difference. Also watch out, I learned from this forum that a Japan spec CBU 523 can be badged & sell as 525 here. A quick glance in the bonnet or door for writings to find out its from UK, Japan or local.n'There is also the issue of radio frequency for import model. I was looking for around the same year as you a mth back, but ended with a local 2002/2003 registered 525, instead. I have no experience in owning an imported bmw, my last e34 owned for 5 yrs is also a ckd/local. Happy hunting. [/QUOTE]
