[QUOTE="bimmerholic, post: 344215, member: 16686"] hie, tumpang a bit ya... How to differentiate from a CBU and a CKD? 1) Say for instance, there's 2 e39s..i.e both 523i or both 525i in front of you. Now by looking at the exterior, can one tell if either one is a CBU or a CKD? How does a VIN number differ from a CBU,Japan,UK,local spec unit? 2) I did come across some models termed 523i se. Is this a CBU unit? 3) When we say CBU, it means it's completely built up from Germany? Can it be from any other plants in another country? 4) So now when we say it's a Japan or a UK spec, does that mean it's CBU for us as well? 5) Do we classify Japan/UK spec as grey imports? All in all, I know that CBU has better sound proving and dampening materials on the chasis. Apart from that, is there anything else that differ from a CKD? Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
