I am sure, however that you are enjoying your drive.
Still furious about the fact japan cars don't have office function, even with combox. also did not have bluetooth audio and addressbook feature till 2011/03 production which makes me MAD.

Because the M5 in Japan is 15,000,000 yen or about US$194,000 at current exchange rates!

Just picked up my F11 535i here which lists for 9,000,000.

Gotta pay to play in Japan!

It greatly annoys me that BMW makes all these ridiculous gimmick cars, however it annoys me even more that people buy them and keep the demand up.

Nice! Have you chipped yours at all with the 3D Design booster? Went to have mine done but I guess the harness on mine is too new so I have to wait - mine has a build date of June this year.

I had the bluetooth in my M3, then none in the 335i and now I got it back - life is so much better with it.

Can't you get it added on.

Well if you want to free yourself from those commie bastards, there is always America or Dubai.

In HK they send off the N52 by cutting prices & adding standard equipment.

Excuse my ignorance guys, but couldn't you fly to the US (or Germany, or whichever works better), buy the car there and ship it back? Got to be MUCH cheaper than spending $265,000 USD.

No, since you have to pay import tax (at least here) when you gonna put the plates on the car.

And I guess the M5 will be at least $350000 + lots of expensive options here.

Yeah, so lets think about this logically. If the M5 cost $100K here in the US and almost $300K there. Move.

For 200k you can afford a down payment on decent place and get citizenship. Los Angeles is Full though. We have too many people. Try some cities in the northern states.

Most places in the US you can buy a nice place outright for that leftover $200,000
