if you look at the original post from which the 64-67% rule stems, you'll see that he operated off of numbers including VAT... or in other words he started with 66650 Euro figure, not the 56,006 euro figure, to come to his final calculations. he did this systematically for all of the bmw models upon which he based his calculation.
its simple... we pay tax after the fact... they pay tax included. if his rule holds, our price will be between 57-59k US dollars, not 50k.

I'm sure some of those options will be standard equipment in the US. Like Garage door opener and folding side mirrors. There's no way the US options list will be this long.

Price For US Market
Quote:
and also take the Japanese car prices in to account My preliminary contract for a Diplomatic/Militry car US spec is 50K obviously it's up in the air but these people are usually very close, last 4 vehicles it came in with more equipment and was a bit less A bird told me MSRP $51. I am not trying to spread rumors, but I cant help it, Mom is a church secretary and I am a Baptist BMW is worried about pricing themselves out of the US Market They have hedged heavily against the Dollar with is at a several year high, we get a TREMENDOUS price break compared to ALL other markets and a better warranty. I am in Germany its obvious when my Military/Diplomatic price on a 335 cab is My price $47K USD =35 K euros German sticker $66K in Euros or 89K in US dollars Thats 54 percent of what a German pays, Compared to the Dutch we pay less than half. and we get a better warranty, That and $7plus a gallon gas in europe is the reason the Europeans think we americans are rich ! and most of the cars sold are diesels A New 2007/8 Mercedes C-300/280 is 54K Euros delivered in Germany I ordered one for my wife at $29,854 for Sept 22K Euros Its crazy Last edited by gmund1948; 04-11-2007 at 12:20 PM.. |

Have you read any of the thread above? It's been stated multiple times that VAT HAS been factored into the 57-59k figure. I'd love for it to be less (that would leave me more money for options!) but so far everything indicates that it won't be.

Thats why BMW will bring an MRSP between 50-53K,
BMW needs the US Market so We get a better deal ! Quote:

You're probably dreaming. The current E46 M3 is priced at ~$49k. How can the E92 M3 start from $50k-$53k? Look at the coupe: $3.2k difference. Now for the M3 which is the super high demand car, I'll be really happy if it'll start ~$55k...then the E90 M3 can start at $53k.

So far the price has risen by 20-25% in every country over the E46, but you do now get Nav in the UK where it has gone up 25%, not sure if it is included in the Netherlands??
So I would guess that once you have added Nav you will see a base price increase of around 20% over the base price of the E46. How much was the E46 base price?? |

I missed Pretenders post saying the base price of the E46 is $49k, so add 20% on to that and you will be looking at around $60k base, around $66-70k with some toys.
This still makes it around 30% cheaper than anywhere else, if you get it for less than that I would be very surprised. |
