Take all the taxes etc off the car and remove the 10% dealer profit I would estimate that BMW Aust are buying the cars for about A$45-48K from BMW AG. And that would include shipping costs to Aust.
The 135s coming to Aust are all M sport standard and thus have black window surrounds not chrome.
$4k for dealer delivery? Aren't you getting any discount? With stamp being 2% in QLD, I was also surprised at your drive away price.

And thanks for the tip on black windows surround. I hope you are correct as I hate the chrome. My X3 is M sport and as such as glossy black window surround. Looks so much nicer IMHO.
