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
The RRP price for a 3.0SD at AutoClassic is $109,500 inc GST & dealer delivery.

I note this is several thousand dollars difference from the your RRP which is also in the BMW brouchure on the internet. Is the $102,8K that minus GST and dealer delivery?.
