[QUOTE="k3nny, post: 15160, member: 139"] Hey guys, Now with the current gloomy economic condition, alot of parallel import car dealers are throwing their prices and suddenly the E60 M5 is an attractive proposition at RM5xx,xxx as opposed to BMW Malaysia's price of RM898,888 or RM798,888? There are a few dealers advertising at the RM55x,000 range which means one can drive away the car at very low 500's. With the attractive interest rates as well, its become quite tempting. :) After some survey and test driving the Silverstone II E60 M5 from BMW Malaysia and viewing some of the parallel imported ones, the only difference of course is that the BMW Malaysia one is the LCI facelifted E60. Comparing the car apple to apple, it would also seem that the BMW Malaysia ones have higher spec? I know this seems odd but there was no alcatara type headliner in some, no HUD, no extended leather package(stiched leather dash etc)..I found the parallel imported ones abit lacking on the options compared to the local ones.
