The Japanes have a Yen for quality, but it's the same quality car in Japan as it is for the rest of the world.

They say that Japanese version of BMW 5er E60 better than Germany version...The quality and reliability. IS that really correct!!?
Also , was wondering where is built Japanese BMW 5er E60 ? in Germany or in Japan?
And lastly what's the difference between Japanese and Germany version (E60) ? Which one is better indeed?
Please give me competent suggestions.
Thanks in advance!

I do not know the origins of the YANASE variant (usually with the yellow and blue decal on the rear windshield). You may want to find out more.

Please go ahead and repost this as it's own topic so you can hopefully get an answer to your question if, in fact, that's what your overall goal is...

I think you'll get a much better response if you post this question as a new topic instead of burying it in this thread.

Pretty sad that we have to try and figure out whether questions are legit or not.
