Indonesian Service Coy - Jakarta Kota" which was BMW Group AG's manufacturing partner. It should also be noted that the headlights and bumpers are original to this car. However, it was originally equipped with a 220 KM/H speedometer and L/100KM fuel economy counter, a four-spoke 400mm steering wheel (Part No. 32 33 1 155 849) and with the 6JX14 ET:22 alloy wheels (Part No. 36 11 1 125 698).
The BMW Group AG utilizes the CKD production process in markets where customs regulations and other issues complicate the import of complete vehicles. Components are shipped as kits while others are sourced from suppliers in local markets. Today BMW Group AG continues to manufacture cars with CKD partners in Egypt, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Russia and Thailand (and BMW motorcycles in Brazil).
This appears to be one of the better or more original examples of the 520i I have seen and I am glad that Haikal shared these images. Can you please take a photograph of the silver P.T. Indonesian Service Coy - Jakarta Kota label that is attached to the driver's side inner wheel house that shows the Serial No. and Engine No.? I also would like to see a photograph of the serial numbers that are stamped into the body.
Best,
