We get our cars relatively cheap here in the US. That's a lot of money, but it is what it is. If you can swing it, go for it. You know you won't be disappointed in the performance. Considering the local road conditions, do you think it'll have much utility, though? Is there a local track you can use?
Excellent point... no local tracks and definitely no open roads like the US or winding roads like the EU; don't think it would have much utility except for few cheap thrills on signal openings

We really are fortunate in the US in this regard. Most places I travel an e60 is well north of $100K, and usually with a smaller engine and fewer options. We make up for it by paying $500 for a prescription medication that costs $5 everywhere else in the world.
I paid 150K for my 530i last year on account of our local currency being much stronger than the greenback.

On the flip side we do have ridiculously cheap meds compared to you guys (I know cause I run for a pharmaceutical finished dosage manufacturing company).

if you want a faster car, get an M5!
Dude an M5 costs 300K in India.
