Last week I spotted the first F10 outside a dealership and it was a fu**ing TAXI

A 525dA or a 530dA Milano Beige with black interior.

This happened right outside my house

I still don't get how a luxury vehicle can be profitable as a taxi w maintanence and all? How much do they have to charge per mile/kilo?

I donno, but a lot.

Our taxis are mostly C and E M-B's, S80 and V70 Volvo's and more and more E60 and now also F10 BMW's.
There are also some Korean and Japanese brands and some VW's, but almost no Audi's.

Look on it as a Conquest Sale from MB.

When I visited Taiwan, I saw a E60 taxi. It was bright yellow. OMG my eyes! Cannot be unseen.

Yeah, there's one that runs around Taipei city. Seen it a couple of times in the southern district.

Just yesterday saw something even worse: A brandnew Maserati GranTurismo in EXACTLY THE SAME
YELLOW COLOR AS ALL THE TAXIs! I mean, the exact color code!

It was sitting right next to me in traffic with taxis in front and behind it...
Just terrible.... hahahaahha
