Apart from that, a grey imported M5 is as good as an authorised BMW dealer M5. Nothing suprising about it since grey importers target those who want to buy an M5 but not at the dealr prices, so they have to make do with lower options. As for the problems, i do not know if there are ay problems with the M5, but people i know who own them seems to say it is problem free. however a grey importer is akin to an individual who goes to a BMW dealer in another country, buys an M5 and brings it in. therefore if there were any recalls, they would not have done it, because it entails sending the car back overseas. i know there was a problem with the 2003 e46 M3s where BMW recalled and rectified the problem. so if you have a grey imported M3 you won't get it rectified. hence why people in Malaysia always say the E46 M3 all has con rod problems. it is a problem, but it was rectified. my 2 cents worth</blockquote>
