Japanese imports - why are there no BMW's

[buzzer]

I have noticed a few Mercedes Japanese imports on Ebay and noted their rust free condition...

I know there are lots of other imports but I have not noticed any BMW or for that matter any Mercedes SLK's?

any idea why?

Why would you want a Jap import mainstream car out of curiosity? Rust should be a non-issue on BMWs.

Edit: they also list 5 Mercedes SLKs if you want a known rust free example. Insurance will probably be dearer though.

unless I am missing something, that site is just listing cars for sale in Japan?
