The way I see it is, those with X5s from abroad are the upper 1% of their perspective countries' population. In other countries middle class cannot afford a BMW--but here in America I believe many people can splurge 50-70k for a car if they so wish. :2cents:
Relative to disposable income, the purchasing cost of cars is still significantly lower in the US compared with Europe (exchange rate doesn't come into it).
