There were 2 danes on that board that were discussing their plight. Jesus what a shame that there cannot be a more equitable cost structure around the world. U know they aren't making the kind of $$ to warrant such gouging. If that is the Emmy price what do they have to pay for basic transport. What can u possibly trade off (lawyers, socialized medicine, etc) to justify prices like that?

bmw doesn't even offer the M5 here in Mexico, but i estimate it would be around $150, 000 US dlls. The 645 is $88,000 and a 760 is $150, 000 . Im sure they will eventually sell it here, but for now we don't have a price.
United States 81,200 USD / 81,000 USD 3000 Gas Guzzler --- that is approximately what a 545 with active handling is here. I WOULD pay that much for an M5, but for a 545 is a lot of money IMO.

Keep in mind that most of the price differential between the US and other countries--particularly northern European countries--is taxes, not BMW charging more. I remember when I lived in Amsterdam, there was a 50% luxury tax on cars--plus 17.5% VAT. Check out Denmark--179% tax! Plus don't forget the beating the US dollar has taken against the euro and most other major currencies in the last few years, so translating local prices to US dollars gets distorted. And we Americans complain about our taxes! Don't even get started on income tax!

[/quote]Is that second number - 167,250 - meant to be USD?
I was fascinated by the effort the original poster went thru to get the data and compile it let alone the numbers themselves. I recognize its mostly due to government actions (taxes) having lived in several countries around the world. I've also had to arrange for compensation of several expats located in different countries including dealing with the Inland Revenue folks in the UK.
