9 Million Philippine Pesos comes out to about US$180,000.
A minimum wage earner in the Philippines earns about US$1500/year.
That means it would take 120 years before an average Filipino can buy an M5!
I love the Philippines, but it's just one of the reasons (among corruption and political instability), as to why I chose to migrate to the States.
Although I do agree that the US has its own problems (Big Dick attitude, We're always right, etc), it's still a great country to live in.
Just the fact that I can voice my criticism and not be flogged for it, is democracy at work.
And where else can a Filipino migrant from '89 get the opportunity to buy an e60?
Only in my dreams if I didn't come here!

[/quote]Thanks.Also, I've seen M5's with the chrome trim around the window but think they look much better with the shadowline trim.
This one and only M5 in the Philippines is probably the model used to create the molds for aftermarket copy-cat aero kits.
