Also keep in mind that those are base prices without any options such as leather, wood trim, advanced air conditioning, cup holders..etc. Things that are standard in U.S.
I dont understand why that is so much different, but it seems that E60 can own who ever wants in USA, in EU when someone is driving E60 its succesfull bussinesman, top executive or russian mafia :-)

My 530i (see the spec below) was 80.000 euros.. I could buy 1,5 545 for that money in the US.
I would go for the 545 if you can get a good deal on it..

My 545 is 100K with all the options. The Netherlands seem to be pretty expensive.

mario, stop comparing to USA.
what's not to compare:
USA M5 cca 90.000$
EU M5 cca 160.000$
same car, same manufacturer, same everything
where is the problem????
standard of living is really flexibile thing, been to USA, been whole EU - I dont want to go into that discussion, but one thing is obvious - it takes less work to earn M5 in states
