As a Turkish citizen Im both happy and sad about this arrival. As a BMW admirer i love the chance to see one of these monsters on the streets. Yet the thought of taxes is killing me. In every car that has a bigger engine than 1400 cc the price you have to pay is elevated by a huge degree. Anyway nice to see my country's name here My first post by the way !

I know that in Taiwan, a 520 is more expensive than an M5 here in US. This is what I heard.

The cost of a BMW 520i in Taiwan is $2,540,000 NT which is @ $84,650 USD. A M5 will run you $6,890,000 NT which is @ $229,600 USD.

With a new luxury tax in place just last year, all cars that cost $3 million NT or @ $100,000 USD will incur an additional 15% tax. So, the cost of nice imports in Taiwan are very high compared to the US.

After reading all the posts I thought it would be good to contribute some facts here, so that some of the users can put this better in perspective:

Below is the link for official price list of BMW Turkey or Borusan Oto from their web site, today's date and easy to understand which car goes for how much in Euro (the column before the last) or in Turkish Lira (last column), if you check closely you will notice that most cars imported to Turkey are under 2.0 liter displacement which is a direct consequence of the previously explained taxing system that is recently tuned for further disadvantage for cars with bigger engines. You will also notice that a base M5 is 210,000 Euro so the posted car is loaded with options which adds around 67,000 Euro to the base price, which is more than a loaded E92 M3 if not E93 M3 cabrio in US!! If I remember correctly, BMW Turkey sold approximately 1500 new cars per month in 2011 and is probably the leader in the luxury segment with close competiton from Mercedes and Audi, so German premium brands are popular in Turkey as well! Turkey is fifth or sixth biggest auto market in Europe both in terms of production and sales. The country is the 16th biggest economy in the world, doing quite well compared to Euro Zone nowadays, so not at all poor in absolute terms.

It would cost the same as buying the Ferrari in Turkey, as you would have to pay import taxes along with other shipping cost to get that car into another country.

Holy cow.

I bet the price of a fully loaded 135i over there would be around the price of an M5 here in America. That makes me feel good and horrible at the same time, I feel for you guys over there.

Wow that's expensive. I though Australia had it rough when it came to BMW pricing!

A tax on any engine over 2 liters? Shame. There are a lot of great 2liter engines out there but displacement is king!
