The tax is insane. I know that in Jordan they charge up to 150% of MSRP in customs fees. So the $250,000 would be about right there too.

Wow.
It's not just tax. BMW Australia have jacked the price up well above what can be explained by tax alone, so the total price is about 2.5 times the UK price.

I think it is because Australia uses the metric system. I'm reliably informed that making a right hand drive speedometer in km/h costs at least $100,000.
