520d base vehicle $135k at 212% import duty
535i base vehicle $ 400k at 600% import duty
M5 $1 Million @ 821% Import Dut
so 125% is cheap....
and yeah its not like Bangladesh even has any auto industry to protect. Nor everyone is buying expensive cars all the time....its just stupid.

And guys, if you think 125% is bad, I think we along with may be Indonesia (or someone) hold the world record. Import duty on cars is 328%. That's the tax so you add the price of the car on top of that. An F10 M5 here would be well north of 441,000 USD so while shows in the US might take the 535 as a base model, it'd be nigh on unobtainable in certain parts of the world. It's nice to have a review of the lesser machines of the range. Nice find  |
