3.0si in the same spec is $94,500

4.8i is $118,300

on top of this is a luxury tax which is something like 25 cents for every dollar over $57,000, stamp duty which is a goverment tax of anywhere between 4% and 8% of the purchase price - maybe more depending on your state of purchase. and registration + dealer delivery which is another $3000-$4000

Although I did not pay the RRP given below on my X5 E70 3.0d Exec Sports or my 3.0sd Exec Sports, the prices are as follows, taking in the Aero kit & install:-

My X5 e70 3.0d optioned as below was $142,500.00 and my new X5 e70 SD optioned as below is $154,000.00.

I added on the SD comfort seats with electric lumbar & USB, plus the SD is about $6k dearer than a 3.0d Exec.
