Hi A friend of mine recently purchased a 328 with, according to the VIN, Middle east spec. Can anybody over here tell what is distinctive for this particular spec?
if you look around the forums (well i think it was for Tarik K.'s scuderia) the topic of middle east specs was discussed. For that specific model I have no idea, I know that ME specs were dropped then reintroduced by Ferrari a few years ago. For the older models, I am not much of a help.
For the most part those cars seem to have problems with the HVAC systems. Difference can be larger radiator + also transmission cooler. Depending ultimate where it came from in the mid east that BMW is living on borrowed time because of dust and sand that does eventually get into the motor.
