I guess you missed the joke. You ever seen Team America: World Police? I was making a reference to that, as a joke. Hence the little laughing icon.

We have had no price rises here in UK since I bought my car in April.
But if I were to buy it again tomorrow, it would cost 15% more (in US dollars) because the US dollar has weakened that much against the Pound Sterling (and a similar trend against the Euro) over the last 8 months.
More figures which make the entire exercise pointless.

In Germany, beginning with January, 1st, the VAT has reached 19%. And a base 550i is around 75K USD.
I wonder why the (German) car prices in the US are so low. Big homogenous market? More competition?

This is indeed ridiculous. I assume that you have a very high VAT and some special tax on cars?

Simply a big market, that means quantity, that means competition, that means lower price. Healthy competition!
EU has an obscure delay on this matter and that's not a good sign for us. :thumbsdown:

you don't miss a thing, here we produce most CO2 in the world. I would trade my V8 for fresh air + nicer people.
I wish BMW upgrade my E60 to hydro-5.
