From experience of a UK import:

you will need to set your profile address to an address in Japan, then it will allow you to add the vehicle to the mybmw app. 
 

it will also depend if the modem in your Japan vehicle has a roaming capable sim. - ie it will still connect to the internet via NZs cell network..

it is not possible to change the “country of origin” of the car. 
 

let me know if it works- I’m interested to see if a jap sim will roam..
