hi n00b!

:xoutpost: Since you are Ron Jeremy you would know his nickname: The Hedgehog. Those who have seen him in action would understand. :boogie:

Welcome.

So basically Michelle and I just had to be the first to welcome a porn star! :yikes:
I kind of figured when I read Wagners wel cum.

Well, the duty and or cost of a X5 in Norway, you don't wanna know, it's insane to tell the truth.
The new X5, are estimated to cost from aprx 900.000.-Nkr, that's over 110.000.- Euros, and in USD it's about 128.000.-
And that's the 3.0 base price...
:mad:

So i think a facelift 3.0 are enough for me, (09.03---)
But to bad it's no diesel powered X5 in US.

Thanx for all the welcome's, nice to be here.
;)

Hej Ron Jeremy :)

As bad as it is in Norway - I think Denmark got it worse :rolleyes:

When we got our X5 4.4i in the US i believe the final price was $58.000. Just for the fun of it I asked a dealer in Denmark for a price on the same spec - he came up with an offer of 1.500.000 danish kroner - that is about 255.000 dollars :)

To compare apples to oranges - you can buy a 3.000 sq/ft house in a nice neighbourhood in Denmark for 1.5m dkr :) To own a BMW X5 4.4 in Denmark is relativly speaking the same kind of investment as owning two ferraris here in the US - seeing how a 3.000 sq/ft home in a nice neighbourhood outside chicago is ~$450.000.

There are sensible means though - you can have the 3.0 dielsel as a 2-seater (van) for ~450.000 dkr (~$75.000) if you use it as a registered corporate car. How they get the thing turned into a Van is beyond me - but hey - it would be a nice van inded :)

Heh,

Yeah no country in the world has it as bad as Denmark ...

Its easy really, they take out the back seat, slap a metal floor all the way to the trunk, and put on yellow plates on it (that means its a loading vehicle and not a passenger vehicle)

Ron Jeremy: Wouldn't it be much cheaper to buy a diesel one in germany and just drive it to norway ??

I don't think cheap, is a word i would use in this matter :rofl:
The thing is, a X5 is much cheaper in US, than in Germany, the marked is so much bigger, so one can really pick the "one", if you know what i mean?
;)
But then i'll have to settle for a 3.0i, which is not a bad alternative, but aftermarked for such a SAV in Norway is minor, our marked are screaming for a diesel engine in these kind of cars.
So i guess i'll wait for E70 to hit the marked, and then buy a facelift 04 model of E53.

:popcorn:

Btw, Denmark and Norway have very similar, or shall i say, dumb taxes, so a SUV are suffering heavy because of this.
In Sweden, cars cost half of what it does on Norway and Denmark.
;puke;

This is all of course because the women up there are so beautiful..:rofl: You have to pay for something...

:beerchug:

Spot on!
But then i guess the women in Sweden are butt ugly?
:confused:
