You guys are right in saying that BMW needs to get their pricing on the right track and Im not going to argue. Hopefully the AMerican coupe version will be a bit cheaper...

It's people importing used cars that get ripped off, because the tax you need to pay is based on the 'market value' of the car... it's the job of the customs to define how much that is. Used car dealers don't like people importing used cars themselves, so they hike up the asking prices so that the supposed 'market value' of cars being imported is higher than what anyone would ever pay for them... And in some cases they have to define the market value for a car that has never been imported here (the lists of imported cars and the tax paid on them are public, the latest list includes cars such as a 1978 Holden Kingswood), so they essentially pull the 'market value' out of a hat. Needless to say, Finland has (once again) been taken to EU court for this nonsense. But this is going off topic.
