Why is the UK car $28,200 more than the exact same car in USA?
In the USA wages are much higher generally than UK, although I believe you don't get great vacation time.

Part of it looks like it might be that "M Race Track Package" and the content differences for the base price. The USA options list is really different than the UK list, though if you click everything it ends up the same in the end. It certainly looks like we can customize our options list more than folk in the UK can. But, the options that are available for the UK seem to have the same flat cost is GBP as US dollars (full leather is 2275 pounds vs 2500 dollars...which makes the leather $400 more expensive in the UK).
However, I've noticed this before. Porsche UK prices are less aggressive for you than BMW UK prices, leading to price parity between BMWs and Porsches for the UK that doesn't exist in the US. "Why buy this BMW when you can buy a Cayman for the same price?"
That sort of thing. In the US, the price gap between random BMW and random Porsche is vast compared to the UK.
