so pretty much it cost twice as much to own a M5 in Malaysia then in the United States? That's crazy. The import laws should be different.

It will scared the shit out if u mate, but an M5 in Malaysia is around USD300k inclusive tax n everything. Talk about expensive, yet i can many on road now. Hopefully price will drop after this coming election.

This is why you can always tell a real M5 by its wing mirrors (and previously interior - oval vs. rectangular).
Doesn't surprise me it's China. A lot of fake stuff happens there. |

+1. Nothing is wrong with converting the body kit and exhaust to an M5 look. I think it looks great. However, slapping an M5 badge on a non-M5 is just not right.
For those who don't understand why having the M5 logo is wrong, a real BMW person can distinguish that you drive a "fake" M5 vs you drive a BMW (the sound, interior, intercoolers placement, etc.). To me, installing the M5 logo on a non-M5 is equivalent of wearing a fake Rolex. Sure you can fool most people, but deep down inside, you're a phony. As for cost, it's relative. If a 520i costs $100k USD in China, then leave the 520i badge on there. People will know that you're able to afford a $100k USD car, which is still impressive (especially China's average income per capita is $5k/year vs $45k/year in the U.S). An M5 costs $180k USD in China, so those who can afford that is good for them. I can't afford a $150k USD Alpina B7 in the U.S, that doesn't give me the right to put a B7 badge on my 750. I could never live with myself being a phony. |
