and I was complaining my 320i cost $52000 lol.

It all depends how much tax your government is charging you,
and how many cars they can sell in your country

In a country where everything costs so much like japan,
it's still cheaper than countries like korea or "norway" even though they supposedly have a import car tax rate of about 30%.

Same tax rate in Korea, but since BMW sells about 250 bimmers a month (not just the 3 series) they have to sell it at a high price to make up for the cost to sell it here.

And yes, a fully loaded (actually every car here is pretty much fully loaded) s500 costs about $210,000 and I bet it costs more in norway lol
