import 335i to HK

I live in Tokyo and have a e90 335i m sport with idrive. I have a chance to move to HK through my work (intercompany transfer) and can bring my car with me. Company will cover taxes etc and all the paperwork as part of relocation package. The other option is to sell the car either privately or to the company at the book value. I am tempted to do bring it as the car is 25% more expensive in HK than what i paid for it in Japan and its only 6 months old. My only concern is warranty but even then if i have to spent some money i come out ahead (i think).

the other concern is navigation. the japan model has a special hdd based navigation and my question is are there helpful dealers that can help me do a dvd nav conversion if i pay the full cost of the parts? i guess if i can't then i can always settle for an after market navigation.

what do u guys think?

I think you can check out the sole BMW distributor in HK.
