Mine's a RHD UK Specification vehicle. the vehicle was manufactured end of 2004. I've made enquiries with BMW UK as BMW Malaysia cannot trace my vehicle records in their system. BMW UK have confirmed that this vehicle of mine came with Sports Package. It aso came with the Aluminium Cube interior trim.

Thanks for the replies. It helped me to understand the powerhouse better. Sorry for all the questions as my car did not come with any manuals upon purchase. One thing I noticed about my radiator fan. It seems to be playing up. For the first start of the day, the fan does not rotate at all. After travelling for some periods and restarting it, it comes on but gives out variable noises. it starts being silent then whirrs/hums to a higher noise then slows down a little before the noise gets louder and then disappears in the end. Is this normal or something wrong with the fan?

I see hot climate version in there. I guess this negates my earlier post (assuming it's referring to the engine cooling system rather than the a/c system).

The fan works only when needed. It has a computer guided electro lock.
Since you have a EU MY '05 you probably also have a black plastic bonnet in front of the radiator (behind the kidneys)
that also opens and closes when needed. See pic, please also note the mist in the reflectors.
It might be a northern thing but check it up! It's easy to see.

I wonder why someone considered Japan to have a hot climate?

What mist were you refering to? In the headlights?
Sorry about the pic quality, it was taken with my old Nokia cell phone.
