But later on, upon questioning BMW Japan regarding the vehicle, they told me it's a Japanese Specification Vehicle. Could anyone advise me on which E60 do I have? As per parts search on RealOEM after entering the 7digit VIN, here's what I got P E60 Lim 525i M54 ECE 20041200 R N; NA52, batch ID: 47752
Thanks,
Marcus

Why not just ask Stuart Mitchell (the BMW UK guy) why BMW Japan gave you conflicting information? He might have a good explanation...
For fun, you could always ask the Japan guy why the UK guy told you something different too.
