Hello all,

I am going to purchase a BMW E91 that is imported from Australia into UK. How do I check if the car is HPI clear and what other things I need to consider?

What about insurance?

The guy is still dealing with paperwork and sorting out the MOTs when I went to see it.

In terms of parts and services, is there any difference between an Australia model and UK model?

Thanks

if I inputed the Aus reg plate on the website, it will check it finance in Aus, but what about in UK? I guesses as the car is in UK now, Aus cant do anything right?

any free website in Aus to check?

Would you said it will not suitable in UK winter? other than cooling anything else is different?

Thanks a lot.
