Hello from Hong Kong!
Just ordered a 550i for July production 2 weeks ago in Hong Kong. Outrageous price here. And the 100% tax doesn't quite help either. All-in-All, is close to USD150,000
Specs:
Deep Sea Blue, Black/Black Dakota Leather, with Matt Aluminum exterior trim
Fine line Anthracite interior
standard in HK for 550i:
4-zone A/C

Comfort seats
Soft close system for doors
Auto tailgate
Comfort access

Foldable mirror with auto anti-dazzle
Prep for mobile phone with Bluetooth

Base price HKD584,000
Base price + Tax (progressive scale) HKD988,000 (USD 126,000)
Options that I added (and paid thru the roof here
)
Parking Assist (big car. must make sure wife can parallel park. affects WAF) HKD 8K (exclusive of 100% tax)
Rear view camera + Surround View (cool. and +ve WAF) HKD 23,200 (excl tax)
Integral Active Steering (again. Big car. heard it really made a difference)

I really envy you guys in US to be able to pay ONLY USD75K for similar configs.....
And to make it worse, we only get 1-yr free maintainenace program and 2-yr of warranty on the car.....
AND I have to wait until September at least for delivery!!!!!
PS. What will be nice 19" wheels (BMW or non-BMW) to be put on the car?
Many thanks.
