The age groups should be mutually exclusive. I'm 35 so should I be in both groups. Anyway 35 in a 535d.

19 and 525 cuz thats the most we can get in Thailand at the time of purchase. Now there's 530 available but very very few around. I saw one 550 awhile back, but thats probably the only one and it was an embassy car which means its tax free. Most 5s here are M5s wannabes, they go to a shop called RPM which mods their entire outside appearance and some minor interior appearance to M5 exact, but their engines are always 520 or 525.
Tell me about it. In Turkey we have the most expensive gas in the world. I don't know the ranking of the taxes in the world but i'm definetly sure that that's more than EU and USA. With the money i got my 520d you can get an M5 in USA and get some mods done with the spare. If you go over 2.0liter in Turkey you pay at least %75 percent of cars base price as tax when you are going and for an M5 the annual tax is as high as 10000?x2 a year and there is no difference between emissions or other things. The tax is only based on engine size.
