Completely jealous about the access you folks in the U.S. have to well-priced BMWs. As an example I see prices for the new M5s at around the USD100K mark but they're AUD250K here!!!!! ...& this given that our dollars are about even parity-wise.

Still I've enjoyed all my various 5ers, my current X5 5.0i Sport & am really looking forward to my new 535d M-Sport delivery in December.

I agree with you 100%. I live in Brazil and i ordered my 535I through BMW Diplomatic Sales which aside from being exempted from all the duty and customs imposed in Brazil, BMW AG offer 30% discount on factory price for diplomats working in South America (on the base models). and still the cost of a well equipped 535i like what i see offered in the U.S. or maybe higher.

You are going to love the 535. I have a 2012 535 and it's the car I've loved the most of all I've ever had.

I share your frustration, I am also from Australia and drive a 528i MSport. The US prices and optional packages are amazing by comparison. Would have bought an M5 for the price of a reasonably optioned 528i

And congratulations to all new owners of 5 series.

I had a E60 530i and it's night a day between the two. The E60 was a sportier drive but the F10 is such a classy exec feeling drive.

I had the same E60 yr/model like yours and I missed it from day one when I sold it. Anxiously waiting for my F10 to arrive. Were you a E60.net member Lacster?

Reasons not to live in Australia:

Funnel Web Spider (Deadliest Spider, found in SHOES!!)
Cone Snail (Deadly Sea Creature, Shallow waters)
Box Jelly Fish (Deadliest Jelly Fish, found in shallow waters)
Blue Ring Octopus(Deadliest Octopus, found in shallow waters)
Great White Shark (Deadliest aquamarine predator)
Crocodiles (Deadliest Fresh water animal, also found in shallow waters near the edge of lakes)
Salt water Crocs (Deadliest River Predator, found in rivers near edges)
Stay away from the water, safe? NO Indian Taipan (Worlds Deadliest snake)
That Kangaroo is cute, no. (Gutted with massive claw)
Drought's
Giant Spiders invading house
And worst of all:
Exorbitantly expensive BMWs
