Motorpoint is selling an E60 BMW 525i SE 4-door Automatic with 52 miles on the clock for £23,000: a saving of £13,000, they reckon. I'm seriously tempted, but what's the catch?

They were assembled in Thailand in 2004/2005 and put on sale at the equivalent Thai price of around £60,000. I remember checking them out at a Central Plaza shopping mall. They didn't sell. The cars have been in the UK for at least a couple of years. Obviously they are in a different (higher) CO2 tax bracket than a new 525.
