My Ride: Retired 2008 535i Titanium-silver with sport, premium, steptronic, NAV, HUD
Retired 2006 525i
I finished seeing my patients early today and decided to fool around with the BMWUSA website. I ended up making a $78751 528i after adding every available option. Not that I'm in the market for one. Ever seen such an expensive 528?

If you go to BMW Canada and build a 535xi with every option it comes out to $87,335. Not to far off 100k!
Truely ridiculous considering you can get one for about $60,000 in the US.
Me and Canada have a love hate relationship..

I don't know if this link will work, but I got it to about 78k. I got the 4K M wheelset with no tires and the M aero kit, so I didn't add the other two options for wheels. Added the silly stuff like bike holders, ski rack. The car looks stupid and I don't know why anyone would want Lane Departure Warning systems. Right, vibrate my hands just as I sideswip a semi-truck and off a cliff...and it would still be vibrating my steering wheel as I was going down. That would be annoying. The link:

The xi, I'm sure, would eclipse the 80k mark. I'm scared to see a 535xi.

Try BMW Thailand. You're in for a big surprise. 
120k 520D. 140k 525i. 150k 530i. How's that for ridiculous tax?
BTW these car comes in standard with minimum option. If you want HUD and all that, gotta pay even more...

100.00% fully loaded E60s are not very common here, but most E60 do have between €20K and €40K worth of options. Good for BMW, as they don't make much money on the basic car, their profits come mainly from the options.
