Just turned 65 retired Engineer. This is my second BMW coming from a 2010 528xi which I had for 11 years and it was a great car even tracked it a few times. Unless I change my mind in thee years or so planning on getting a G80 M3 Competition AWD. Too bad I could not afford these cars when I was much younger, butt better late than never. I did owned a used 1968 Charger 426 Hemi when I was 18.

I think most people here don’t buy new cars. Some import used cars with a few years on them from Germany and other EU countries, others buy second hand company cars, cars from rent-a-car companies, service cars from dealers, etc. I’m very privileged to be able to afford a car like my 330e, but I also feel I need to take care of him to make it last, because it makes no financial sense for me to be swapping cars every few years, considering our income in Portugal, and the high prices of cars. |

Also, one cannot build a BMW with options like in the US/Europe. There are very few packages available and not a lot of options are standard there.

Because of the high taxes, most cars have underpowered engines unfortunately. My previous car (first car I haver owned), was a Fiat Punto with a 1.2L 69hp engine. These kinds of cars are pretty standard here, Puntos, Clios, Fiestas, etc. with 70-90 hp. |

The G20 320d is common in India compared to the 330i. That also costs around US$70-75k. Cars are expensive there because if the same reason you mentioned. High taxes.

I've always heard that Singapore is the most expensive place to own a car. They tack on like 300% tax pretty much in order to dissuade people from buying cars. I kind of understand it considering they're basically a small island.

50. Feel 25 most days, 75 some days. Lol. Could never afford these cars as a young man without seriously getting in over my head financially. Wondering what the next step up is for a kid in their 20's who has an m340i now....
Here's my progression...Most of these were the most bang for the buck purchase at the time, and fun to drive. (On order) M340i Xdrive Audi S4 (factory order) Audi A5 (factory order) Mk 6 GTi Mk 4 GTi 2002 Mustang GT (a post 9/11, let's get the economy going, pity purchase) Jetta GLX Jetta 2.Slow |

I’m thrilled to not yet be in the oldest age bracket.
I have yet to see another ‘21 G22 on the road since I bought mine 2 months ago. Even had a few long road trips to look. Last edited by BVF; 02-24-2021 at 05:40 AM.. |

37, M340 owner. Love the car. Still fully plan on trying to convince my wife an upgrade to the M3 will be necessary once the x-drive version is released. We'll see

Ha, that's nothing. As I said the other day, Singapore is probably by far the most expensive place in the world. I just checked at a dealership there and they want $326,000 Singapore Dollars for an M340i xDrive which is equivalent to about $245,000 US!! INSANE!
