Buying advice

Hello all,

I am going to be buying my first car ever.... And I think based on cost, looks, luxury and somewhat reliability I've decided to buy a 6 series. In particular I'm thinking to go and look at this car, sorry it's based in Japan so please use the translate function.

Third party site with more photos

Is there anything in terms of features that this is missing that I should really look for and anything I should watch out for when I visit to see the car?

Thanks in advance.

VDC, Soft close doors, heated steering wheels, HK speakers? Some options I can't see but some you might not even want?
Looks like a clean example

It's fairly well optioned for a 640. What I can see it does not have are:

Bang & Olufsen sound system
"Massaging" seats (pretty dumb option)
Ventilated seats (moderately dumb option, but includes cool-looking perforated leather seats)
Leather dash, center console and door tops (the car has standard vinyl)
Ceramic knobs (shifter, I-Drive controller, and radio/climate knobs - they are like smoked chrome)
Night vision (rare and mostly useless)

Out of curiosity I converted the 3,154,000 Yen price to dollars. I assumed that cars in Japan cost more than in the US, but I guess not. That is $21,800 Dollars, which is a pretty fair price for that car here - and is probably a bit low.

And I assume you know it is a rear wheel drive car. I did not list XDrive as a "missing" option since that's totally a personal choice, and for all I know XDrive was not sold in Japan.
