Don't forget the German price includes 19% VAT (MwSt). Take out the tax and you're a little over ?71,000

Ja, I was just editing in the fact that the MWSt. is included but ?71,000 is still US$101,288.

I don?t really understand what you are saying in this thread? Are you saying that cars are expensive in Germany, or that you have had your car for a better price? Btw. Enjoy the car, you have a great spec.

Ps. I?m wondering why you reply using partly German language (not just in this thread)? Is German your native language? I like German language and mine is far from perfect. But I think it would be easier if we all used the same language (At least in same thread).

Best regards.

price your car on www.bmw.at and then you will get the next shock - 16% nova on a 550i. you will then have topped EUR 100,000 for a........CAR - there are people around here who buy apartments for this price....

...and in the Netherlands, Germany is considered a cheap country for cars. The tax to put it on the road for this car would be EUR 37,169. Total would have been EUR 139081. Using the current USD/EUR exchange rate of 1.42291 (www.xe.com), this car would be $197,900. So? Did you pay even less than that?
