The weather was nice on the weekend, so I took a short drive with my husband from the morning (Kari T on this day). At that time, a BMW running open and comfortable in the front. When I casually said, "BMW people are also opening up comfortably. It's the best driving day, isn't it?", The husband who saw the car said, "Oh, that's a parallel import car, maybe." And that.
How do you know if it's such a parallel imported car by looking at your car? ?? I thought, but my husband said that this BMW is an E46 M3 cabriolet, which was not officially sold in Japan.
That's why it was impossible to buy it officially, so I think I probably got it by parallel import. Well, I often have that kind of data in my head ... (laughs).
When he was young, his husband originally thought, "I want a BMW M, a manual car, and a cabriolet, which is in a very good mood!" However, in reality, this M manually cabriolet was not sold by BMW in Japan, so if you wanted to buy it, you could only import it in parallel. So, hesitated, "If you buy it by parallel import, the maintenance after that seems to be a little difficult ...", and it seems that there was a history that it did not lead to the purchase. So that's it.
But if so, this owner really wanted this E46 M3 cabriolet, even if it wasn't sold in Japan, so he probably bought it somehow! It will be taken care of already. Looking at the back of the car, I felt the owner's love for the car (laughs).
