M5 in singapore here cost USD240K.. how about that? and a 530i costs USD140k...
then again if M5 costs the same in the US here... there will be no fun driving coz anywhere we go it is 10mph bumper to bumper.
c'est la vie

If you think the Indian price is bad....Singapore is even more expensive...my parents drive slower cars than I do (mom's new E260 cost 200K SGD...about 110-120K USD)had I gone to college there I would probably be taking the bus to school
