Prices here in New Zealand for cars are very expensive compared to the rest of the world.

ie a new
2006 x5 4.8is retails for $185,000k
2006 x5 4.4 is $148,000k the new M5 is over $250,000k and this is in New Zealand dollars a lot more when converted to US Dollar.

My point is i dont know of any 17yr olds here in NZ that can afford a secondhand bmw x5 let alone a new one.
while driving in New Zealand the X5 comands an air of respect whether new or old.
