international e70 prices

[mp3province]

hi guys,

this is my first thread and the reason i joined was because i was planning on purchasing a new e70.

i live in new delhi, india and since petrol (gas) is pretty expensive here, about 5 US dollars a gallon, i've decided that the 3.0d will suffice.

the base price of the e70 3.0d that will be imported into india is for INR 6,290,000 which equates to about 156,000 USD. I know this is a rip-off considering you can get the same car in america for about 50k, but there is a 116% import duty here as the government wants to protect the local market.

other bmw prices: 3 series is about 74,000, 5 series is about 112,000 dollars, 7 is about 210,000.

The base price includes park distance control, panoramic roof.

I was wondering what the prevailing price is in countries other than the united states?

i am attaching the pdf file which was sent to me by the dealer.

any responses glady appreciated..

thanks!
