Where am I complaining.
First, 60% of vehicles price here in Europe is taxes, so the vehicle itself doesn't cost that much, it is YOUR system that is cheating you.
Secondly, if a vehicle runs down the same assembly line, which happens to be in the US, why should we receive the updates a year later considering the largest market for the vehicle is the US.
Third, the value of anything is often determined by what the market will bear. Take for instance Levi's 501s, in the US they go for around $25 a pair, in Europe, they are 75-80 Euro's, which at todays exchange rate is $100 a pair. People still buy them, but, you couldn't pay an american to pay that much for them.
X5s, IMHO is the best SAV/SUV on the road, but, it is also the priciest when compaired to others. So if you are looking from a Market perspective, we X5 owners are paying alot more for this vehicle than say a Lexus, Infiniti, etc in the US also. So no, I don't think we should get things "after the fact".
Again, wasn't complaining, if you look at my posting, was just giving a general observation/my opinion. I still love BMWs and have one in the driveway and a 35i SA on order.
