Probably. They have the most competition in the U.S. and lots of wealthy consumers so they get a bulk discount.

And no VAT... That's pretty substantial for you, isn't it? What is it now for Canada & the UK? Is the tax % higher for higher priced items or is it a flat %.

For Canada, it depends in which province you buy but it is roughly 15%

17% in BC for E60 as it is considered a luxury car - 14% if you buy a POS.

Health care is "free" but not worth it and education is very heavily subsidized but not free. Those who make over certain thresholds pay income taxes and certain fees but we do not have to pay taxes on assets (other than real property) wheras Swedes and some others do.

0% VAT in Oregon, US. Can you believe that? I am serious. Correct me if I am wrong that when you bring your car back to other state within one year, you'll be taxed.
