Euro Pricing vs US Pricing
Ok guys I did a little detective work. I took the UK BMW 335i M Sport model price and compared it to the US 335i. There's like an $8,000 (USD) price difference. We cannot rely on Europe's price for US price information. The U.S will have its own price.

Prices in the US and Europe are never directly comparable - partly because European prices include VAT (15-25%, depending on country) but mainly because Americans are used to the lower prices of US-built cars and simply won't pay European prices. And the rest of the world doesn't support the US market: that implies that BMW makes a loss in the US, in which case it would simply pull out and focus on those markets where it can make a profit. antto |

That has always been the case, my friend. An M3 in South East Asian country such as Thailand or Malaysia cost about 300K US Dollars. We have it good over here.

Although you can't just do a price conversion (because of taxes and the like), you can look at the price ratios between countries for existing models and then use the ratio to determine the price of a new model.

So do the ratios come out the same every time? This is not meant to have a go at you, I'm just curious. If the ratio is fixed all the time, then yeah we can use it.
In this case, what is the ratio between Euro and US? Maybe we can have a better idea on pricing. |
