Well the import duty structure seems similar, ours is also around 115% for petrol engines upto 1800cc but shoots up to over 200%+ if you go for a bigger engine. For diesel, it shoots up for engines bigger than 2000cc and above so that basically leaves out 525d or 530d.
My entry-level 520d is costing me over $130k but admittedly I did select a lot of options. The basic vehicle is priced around $85k but that is just the bare-bones car, no options not even auto transmission. I would definitely have chosen the 530i or 535i but just the 535i starts around $130k, basic. Add the options and it was gonna cost me $165k. That was beyond my budget but I hope to enjoy the 520d as much as I can.
