Hi all.

This is not mine but I just bought an E46 and I found this video online.

It is extremely helpful!

Hi Mate,

Thanks for the info, I've tried this but it doesn't show Japan or Oceania....got to the serial numbers and scrolled thru.....

Anyone out there can help? Much appreciated.

Hey,

I just have my eyes on a car at the moment thats a singapore import and I was just wondering if any of you guys know anything bad about them?

Have searched and read that the Mercedes from singapore are a horror but not so much the bmws?

Some say that the electronics die but some say they have no problem what so ever.

Has anyone had an singapore imported BMW and had any major problems or know of any problems from the singapore imports?

Hi Yongxi,

Just get it checked by a BM specialist, any car either from Japan or Singapore can have it's share of problems. True about the heaters being blocked out, only the older models though, probably pre-95's. Later ones are ok. The "Singapore car issue" was actually a rumour that started about 9-10 years ago, I'm guessing by Dealers importing from Japan. The cars from Spore came in with higher Specs and were well priced. There was tension among Japan import dealers with European cars coming from Spore that were priced significantly lower than Japan imports. Lots of rumours about humidity,heat and all that stuff..(FYI no humidifiers in Spore) More likely condensation will effect electronis parts, with change of weather and temperature. In Singapore its Summer all year round.. So, like I said it was just a rumour that started and actually caught on well with the general public, so having a Spore import now will be harder to dispose off, unless it's cheaper. Hope that helped. Cheers
