Lol people don't even bother to read! This is Japan only. 523i or even 520Li exist. We are so spoiled by cheap prices on cars in comparison to Japan or other Asian countries. Some are so ignorant.

#marketing at its finest
+1 people are such suckers, all 3000 of these should go unpurchased, but they will sell like hot cakes and BMW will continue this. A special edition should have something special about it, but low production parts and paint are expensive...

What you can't tell from the pictures is that it is half normal size.

Some of those ignorant, uneducated comments never seize to amaze me. Time to realize USA is not the world. Your comparisons to US prices and equipment are a joke !

However, still USA is the best country to live in. Just throwing it in there :-)

This maybe special for this specific market. Do they normally have these specs available to them by other means?

Edit: the best country to buy a BMW, maybe. Best country to live in, not so much anymore. Not for long atleast.

...and that's what makes it the best

In all seriousness, it did change quite a bit over the last decade. I think living here is still way easier than, lets say in Europe.

Out of curiosity where else would you rather live and why ?

I'm not one of those ignorant "Yeehaw, America's the best 'cuzz I said so" type of people.

But after going to Europe, which is breathtaking in a way America in many ways isn't (Paris, ahh), you can't beat the living environment in America. We have it very good in so many ways, and I couldn't think of a better place to live. Europe's governments seem to largely be crooks, and idiot crooks at that. Most Europeans I talked to seemed to agree.

+1

There are many things that I love about Europe and many things that I don't like about the US, but there is one simple thing that makes US so easy and enjoyable to live in and it is the buying power of USD inside the US (difficult to realize unless a person lived elsewhere for a while).

I find it very funny when folks from other countries (not all of course) get "excited" when the value of USD drops on currency markets. Bottom line - "so what", a buck in US can still buy us more than ~3 EUR in Europe and for that reason I call it the best country to live in !

They also have some kind of special edition in Hong Kong too.
