My Ride: BMW 08 (07) 523i, Platinum Bronze, fitted with 18"Star Spoke alloy's, SAT NAV Pro, Hud, TV, PDC, ACS, CD Stacker, blue tooth, sport wheel, memory seats.
Hi All,
I have just taken delivery of 523i here in sunny Brisbane Australia, I have had a good look around the site and found it very informative, especially the price of the 5 series in the US, very cheap by comparison to Australia. It must be the GST (goods and services tax) 10% and LCT (Luxury Car Tax)25% which kicks in at about $56000 which makes the big difference. My optioned car retailed on the road for Aud$103,000 thats currently US$94,760 "BUGGER" never mind thems the breaks.
I look forward to participating in the forum. Cheers
