But you pay a lot in Sweden.
What we pay over here is even more then shameless. The absolute basic version of the 545 hits the price list at ? 80400,- so that's well over $ 100000 that we pay for the same car.
have a look at the Dutch BMW pricelist

The spec is top of the range, with almost everything included: Dakota leather, active steering, 18" alloys, professional nav, cd changer, PDC, electric mirrors, sport suspension, adaptive lights, bi-xenon, full electric seats and electric steering wheel.
So, it seems you in Holland pay at least 25% more than we do! Seems too big a difference inside the EU. WHy don?t you buy cars in Germany, then?

[/quote]That's right: as soon as we get it registered in the Netherlands about 35% is added to the basic price for government taxes.
I can hear you thinking: get it registred in Germany or Belgium... No way, getting caught as Dutch resident driving a foreign licensed car that belongs to you will get you fined for the obligatory 35% + 35% extra fee.
Add to that insurance of about 2500-3000 euro, and annually extra taxes of about 600-1500 euro (600 for gas, 1500 for diesel) and it makes me wonder why did I buy such an expensive car?
Well, I love it!
And I love my little country.

My Ride: MY05 545i Jet Black with Auburn interior. SMG, Logic7, Sport Package, Comfort Seats, Navigation.
It makes me feel very lucky for living here in the good ol' USA. I stop complaining about the prices of cars long ago, after finding out that other people are paying way more for the same car.
On the down side, there is no exclusivity anymore. Every other neighbor of mine has a Bimmer, or benz.

hows that - socialism in a sentence. a run on sentence, but a sentence none the less.
I was just looking at numbers today, and for a moderately equipped (read: not everything) 545, the government will be taxing me 11,400SEK/month (almost 1700USD). Tell me its better elsewhere... give me faith in the rest of society.
