Expensive M135i in Taiwan - BMW 1 Series Coupe Forum / 1 Series Convertible Forum (1M / tii / 135i / 128i / Coupe / Cabrio / Hatchback) (BMW E82 E88 128i 130i 135i)

Hello new the the forum,
Living in Taiwan my M135i won't arrive until November and it's been difficult waiting.
Because of silly laws and tariff a new M135i costs 72K Euro, or 88K USD here.

The best part is only Valencia Orange is available, and you can't change color. Kinda sucks paying more than most other parts of the world for the same thing and no color options.

(on the phone moaning to sales right now)

Hopefully it's all worth it when the new car arrives. I do like BMWs (no kidding)

Cheers,
Chuck

$88k US USA bargain. I paid $100k Australian. Fully loaded. The 1m is $130k if u can even find one now. But it's all worth the cash for sure.
Enjoy the ride.
