[QUOTE="thule, post: 356374, member: 14511"] My point of view: 1) It the 525 is properly maintained by AB, then you can rest assured that it is less problematic :top: 2) Since it's local specs... then you should have no problem with the Radio frequency and Sat Nav issues associated with Japanese specs model... as in you don't have to spend about RM8k to 10k just to convert the Japanese spec CCC to Local specs. 3) The Push Start Button is another cool factor... if only I bought the 2006 model instead of the 2005. Save me the hassle of taking out the key to unlock the door and start the engine... sigh!!! 4) Apart from the more powerful M54 engine that churns out about 260++bhp hence faster acceleration... it lacks everything that I mentioned above. P.S: I am not biased towards local specs E60... coz I own an 525 M-Sport Japanese specs... which I think the 218bhp is more than enough :D and I spent more than RM7k just to listen to radio and GPS system... hope this helps!
