Fair play to you guys - you must really like the X1, or BMW. I would probably have purchased a different car than go through the hassle!

Mate I think "ecoveon" from India is lucky that he finally got what he wanted for less than $60,000.
Here in Sri Lanka we are much less fortunate, cos there are 3 models on offer in Sri Lanka. The cheapest been duty free X1 for the Government executives who are given non transferable permits, which is a extremely basic sdrive20d without alloy wheels, PDC, leather seats, Auto AC, or any other standard option and still cost around USD 58,000 on the road.
The duty paid (for general public) standard Sdrive20i on the road cost around USD 100,000
and the standard sdrive20d cost around USD 150,000.
so luxury doesn't come cheap in this part of the world!
