I am starting to sound like a TV advert  but anyone in Europe could make amazing savings by buying a left hand car in England.
In UK a 523i is £ 31200 , plus leather seats ambient light etc etc, as standard
a 523i in Germany is 41900 euros without the standard extras that are avaIable in UK and this is almost £ 5000 more , |
Wow! 523i base price in Poland is £44000. I have leather, auto, sport seats, xenon, PDC and some other lesser options (no comfort seats, no fancy wheels, no navigation) and even with a hefty teen % panEuropean corporate discount off list my reasonably specced 523i has worked out at £50000.
It's partly down to a weak pound and strong other currencies + we have 18% excise tax and 22% VAT on top of that.
