No Guzzling?
 
For giggles today I was configuring an M5 on the USA Site.
Comparably equipped X5M and M5 are almost identically priced.
But the M5 gets hit with a $3,000 Gas Guzzler tax. How did the X5M dodge that one?

What is the Gas Guzzler Tax?

It may change someday.

Yep, SUVs are classified as trucks and are exempt from the guzzler tax - it might even be based on the weight of the vehicle. The other M models are not so lucky (M3, M5, M6).
